Fan favorites from the “RuPaul’s Drag Race” franchise are coming out for Adam Shankman’s upcoming action-comedy feature film. Ginger Minj, Jujubee, Brooke Lynn Hytes, Latrice Royale, Marcia Marcia Marcia, Monét X Change and Symone will appear alongside RuPaul in the as yet untitled and sure to be diva-licious film. It marks the first-ever theatrical feature from the “RuPaul’s Drag Race” universe.
In addition, producer Universal Pictures Content Group has entered an agreement to acquire all international rights to the picture. As previously announced, Bleecker Street will release the film, which is being billed as a “wild ride of camp and comedy,” theatrically in North America in 2026.
According to the official logline: “The film follows best friends Tess (Ginger Minj) and DeeDee (Jujubee), train stewardesses who trade their dreary shifts on the Stank Rail for the glitzy Glamazonian Express. When a catastrophic ‘Stormaganza’ threatens to derail the high-speed train and crash it into Los Angeles, the duo in coach must join forces with the snobby first class attendants (Symone, Brooke Lynn Hytes, Marcia Marcia Marcia, Latrice Royale) and President Gagwell (RuPaul) to save the day.”
The film is produced by World of Wonder, Universal Pictures Content Group and Bleecker Street, and written by Connor Wright and Christina Friel. Fenton Bailey, Randy Barbato, Tom Campbell, RuPaul Charles and Shankman serve as producers. Unapologetic Projects is an executive producer and financier on the project.
