Ginger Minj, Jujubee, & More Join RuPaul in DRAG RACE Universe Film

Drag Races alum Ginger Minj, Jujubee, Brooke Lynn Hytes, Latrice Royale, Marcia Marcia Marcia, Monét X Change, and Symone will all appear alongside RuPaul in the first-ever theatrical feature from the RuPaul’s Drag Race universe. As previously announced, Bleecker Street will release the film theatrically in North America in 2026.

The film, directed by Adam Shankman, 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 in this wild ride of camp and comedy. 

The film is produced by World of Wonder, Universal Pictures Content Group and Bleecker Street, and written by Connor Wright & Christina Friel. Fenton Bailey, Randy Barbato, Tom Campbell, RuPaul Charles, and Adam Shankman serve as producers. Unapologetic Projects is an Executive Producer and financier on the project.
