Hollywood star Amanda Seyfried has sent ABBA fans into a frenzy by officially confirming that a third Mamma Mia! film is in the works. The actress, who plays Sophie in the beloved musical franchise, stated she is 'pretty sure Mamma Mia 3 is a done deal', providing the most concrete update yet on the long-rumoured project.
Dream Cast and Storyline Hints
In an exciting revelation, Seyfried has named two major pop culture figures she would love to see join the sunny Greek island escapades. She suggested that Grammy-nominated singer Sabrina Carpenter and Euphoria star Sydney Sweeney could be perfect additions to the cast. Seyfried envisions them playing cousins to her character, Sophie, potentially expanding the franchise's family dynamics.
Looking ahead to Sophie's future, the actress expressed a desire to see her character as a mother. 'I want to see Sophie with children,' she shared, hinting at a potential new generation of characters. She also passionately hopes for the return of the original 'three dads' and a poignant appearance from Meryl Streep's character, Donna, who she imagines could return 'as a ghost'.
Original Cast and Tropical Tunes
Fans of the original ensemble will be pleased to know that Seyfried anticipates the return of other beloved cast members. She confidently expects Julie Walters and Christine Baranski to reprise their iconic roles as Rosie and Tanya. The actress painted a vivid picture of the duo 'singing in a tropical setting with ABBA music', suggesting a potential change of scenery from the Greek islands.
These revelations add significant weight to previous hints from producer Judy Craymer, who had already floated the idea of Sabrina Carpenter's involvement. With Seyfried's confirmation and detailed vision, it appears the pieces are falling into place for what promises to be another spectacular ABBA-filled adventure.
