Their plans for world domination are, it turns out, much bigger than that. Reportedly, [the famous British fivesome](http://time.com/5179077/spice-girls-royal-family/ "undefined") — Victoria Beckham, Mel B, Melanie C, Emma Bunton and Geri Halliwell — [are all on board](http://variety.com/2018/film/news/spice-girls-animated-superhero-movie-1202734123/ "undefined") with a new, different project bringing their iconic ’90s girl group back to life on the big screen, instead of onstage. [_Variety_ reports](http://variety.com/2018/film/news/spice-girls-animated-superhero-movie-1202734123/ "undefined") that they’re shopping around an animated superhero film project, looking to turn each of their personas (that’s Posh, Scary, Sporty, Baby and Ginger for those who aren’t familiar) into a character with extra-special girl powers, which they will each voice. While this explains the reunion rumors that have recently sprung up around the group (and their [recent squad selfie](https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/spice-girls-reunion-victoria-beckham-band-no-tour-dates-gigs-a8207251.html "undefined")), it also suggests that Beckham was serious about not singing again. But a project like this also makes sense: in a moment of [rising feminist tides](http://time.com/5189945/whats-the-difference-between-the-metoo-and-times-up-movements/ "undefined"), the success of blockbuster films like [_Wonder Woman_](http://time.com/4874018/wonder-woman-sequel-2019/ "undefined") and a greater call for strong female role models, bringing back the Spice Girls in a broad format that could play to a younger audience is a savvy branding move to continue their legacy into a new generation. A source told _Variety_ that the five women are “fired up about the idea,” and are “thinking big in terms of a franchise on a global scale.” People of the world, are you ready to spice up your life? ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5212684/spice-girls-reunion-movie/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5212684/spice-girls-reunion-movie/"},"headline":"The Spice Girls Reunion Project Might Be a Little Different Than You'd Expect","datePublished":"2018-03-26T19:25:10.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:51:35.742Z","description":"People of the world, it's nearly time to spice up your life","url":"https://time.com/5212684/spice-girls-reunion-movie/","keywords":["movies","Newsfeed","Music"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt0afb46ed8295f463/69892bbfdb29875fc125f308/spice-girls-reunion-2012.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt0afb46ed8295f463/69892bbfdb29875fc125f308/spice-girls-reunion-2012.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Viva Forever - Press Night - Backstage / Curtain Call","caption":"Viva Forever - Press Night - Backstage / Curtain Call","creditText":"Dave M.
