Former Spice girl Emma Bunton and Australian actress and comedian Rebel Wilson will also join the cast.
Pitch Perfect actress Wilson posted a picture of herself on Instagram dressed as a flight attendant on set. The film’s star Jennifer Saunders, who plays Edina, tweeted: “This hostess tried to check in my under-eye baggage.”
The comedy is based on the hit television show that follows fashion publicist Edina Monsoon and magazine editor Patsy Stone, played by Saunders and Joanna Lumley, as they bumble around London, decked in designer clothing, swilling Champagne. The movie will launch on July 1 in the U.K. and Ireland.
