Could A Spice-Girls Themed Animated Superhero Movie Be In the Works?

According to Variety, an animated film project starring the Spice Girls is being shopped to potential production partners. According to a source, all five members of the group have signed off on their likenesses being used for a superhero-themed movie working off of the "girl power" message.

In the film, each character will be voiced by a Spice Girl and feature the various personalities of the girls. The group's members include Victoria Beckham ("Posh Spice"), Melanie Brown ("Scary Spice"), Emma Bunton ("Baby Spice"), Melanie Chisholm ("Sporty Spice") and Geri Halliwell ("Ginger Spice").

Rumors of a reunion tour have been floating around and denied for months, but with the animated superhero concept, the girls are committed and even "fired up about the idea," a source told Variety, adding, "The Spice Girls are thinking big in terms of a franchise on a global scale. They're the most successful girl group on the planet. It's just what Marvel or Disney needs."

With nine number 1 singles and over 85 million record sold worldwide, two world tours, movies, musicals and that iconic Union Jack dress, the Spice Girls are the best-selling female group of all time! The British all-female pop group the Spice Girls dominated the music charts in the 1990s with their catchy lyrics and fierce attitudes. The group began with five, young aspiring performers, and blew up into a '90s frenzy of platform shoes, choreographed dance numbers, and of course, "Girl Power." Under the personas of "Sporty," "Baby," "Scary," "Ginger" and "Posh," the five superstars sold 65 million records worldwide, making them the best-selling girl group of all time. To this day, their fan base still proves strong, as they reunited in 2007 for a sold out tour, the first since 1999.
