Newcomer Alexandra Shipp will replace Zendaya as the lead. The actress also shared some behind-the-scenes Instagram pics from another film she’s working on, VH1’s Drumline 2.
I look back on this job with love and gratitude… Onto the next with a full heart. #drumline2 #drumline2anewbeat
What’s your take on Alexandra as the new Aaliyah?
