Palmer further explained that she would be interested in doing “an action-comedy of some sort, kinda like a haphazard duo that shouldn't be together but we are together.”

There has been speculation that Palmer could be appearing in the upcoming Disney+ Sister Act 3 movie starring Whoopi Goldberg but it still has yet to be confirmed.

Palmer has kept her resume stacked this year while appearing in Nope alongside Daniel Kaluuya and voicing the character of Izzy Hawthorne in Disney and Pixar’s Lightyear.
