As 'Hotel Transylvania' franchise ends, Selena Gomez says, ‘It felt like home’

'Hotel Transylvania: Transformania': Selena Gomez voiced Mavis, the second lead character in the 'Hotel Transylvania' movies.

Selena Gomez spent close to a decade voicing the ebullient Mavis in Hotel Transylvania films and the multi-hyphenate global star says it was hard to say goodbye to the beloved franchise with the upcoming fourth movie.

Gomez, the globally popular singer as well as a critically-acclaimed actor, started her journey on the animated movie series with 2012's Hotel Transylvania, followed by sequels --Hotel Transylvania 2 (2015) and Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation  (2018).

The fourth installment "Hotel Transylvania: Transformania" will bring the curtains down on the franchise as well as on Gomez's character Mavis and her husband Jonathan, voiced by Andy Samberg.

"I'm sad, of course. Obviously it was so much fun and it was years of my life and it felt like home. It felt like a family. So it's bittersweet."

"I think that we were running out of ideas and we've done a good job at creating really great messages within movies. So I don't know. I'm kind of bummed. Andy and I. We're going to have to do something else together."
