Raven Symoné has teased a possible new Cheetah Girls film.
The 38-year-old played 1/4 of Disney Channel’s Cheetah Girls in the popular film series.
Raven starred alongside Adrienne Houghton, Kiely Williams and Sabrina Bryan in the hit movies.
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Raven spoke about the significance of the franchise: “Another moment in culture that gave girl power, that gave fashion, that gave songs…I’m very blessed to be a part of that and can’t wait to see what the future holds with that.”
Raven teased: “It’s gonna be interesting to see what the future holds in regards to the Cheetah Girls.”
“If something happened where the Cheetah Girls came back together on screen, I think the new generation would see how important it is for girls to have a community… and this generation’s already doing it, right?”
“I come from a generation of catty girls and things of that nature. And then my mom’s generation was the same way,” she explained.
“I think now it’s starting to change a little bit. I think girls are more like, ‘I got you, girl,’ and to be able to mirror that back in such an iconic, cool, innovative way that screams Cheetah… I mean, I’d be a part of it.”
Speaking about what her character Galleria would be up to in 2024, she said that she only knows one thing for definite, “Galleria is a mess.”
Raven explained: “I don’t know if she would calm down. Because there are those people in the industry. It’s like, all right, we understand you have dreams and hopes, and you’ll step on anybody to get there,”
“I think it’s probably something that reflects what’s going on in today’s culture. I think it’s something that touches the audiences, and you know, it’ll be interesting to see.”
Answering how the franchise has had such successful longevity, Raven said: “I honestly attribute it to the fact that it’s a good girl-empowerment story about friendship and family, and standing up for your besties,”
“And that is, no matter how juvenile it might sound, important to continuously tell that story so girls know how important it is to stand up for your friends.”
