“God bless y’all for this manifestation over my life. @WaltDisneyCo, this is what they asked for I’m just here to relay,” she wrote.
Palmer may not be done starring inJordan Peele’s movies, either.

“People are doing a lot of interesting detective work, is what’s going on,” Peele, 43, said of the sleuths looking for clues online.
He added, “The story of that character has yet to be told, I can tell you that. Which is another frustrating way of saying I’m glad people are paying attention. I do think they will get more answers on some of these things in the future. We’re not over telling all of these stories.”
