Amanda Seyfried Eyes Sabrina Carpenter for 'Mamma Mia 3' as Talks of Sequel Heat Up
  • Amanda Seyfried is enthusiastic about the possibility of a third installment in the Mamma Mia! franchise, despite no official confirmation yet.

  • In a recent interview, Seyfried expressed her hope for the film's development, noting that while speculation is rampant, she has not yet seen a script.

  • Seyfried mentioned pop star Sabrina Carpenter as a potential choice to play her character Sophie's daughter, especially after Carpenter's recent performance of the title track during her tour.

  • Despite a 13-year age difference, Seyfried emphasized that age should not be a barrier in casting, referencing the flexible age dynamics seen in the previous films.

  • Seyfried humorously stated she would be open to using old-age makeup to portray a more mature version of her character if Carpenter were cast as her daughter.

  • Christine Baranski and other original cast members, including Colin Firth and Pierce Brosnan, have expressed interest in returning for a new installment.

  • Meryl Streep has also indicated her willingness to return, suggesting creative ideas for her character's comeback, such as reincarnation or a twin sister plot twist.

  • Producer Judy Craymer confirmed that discussions for the third film are ongoing, with plans for a narrative plotline already in place.

  • Earlier this year, Craymer expressed interest in hiring Greta Gerwig as the director, following her successful work on the film Barbie.

  • The last film, Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, released in 2018, was a box office success, continuing the story of Sophie and her mother Donna.

  • Potential storylines for the new film may focus on the future of Donna and Sam or explore Lily James's portrayal of a younger Donna.

  • The Mamma Mia! franchise has been a global phenomenon, grossing over $4 billion at the box office and seen live by 65 million people worldwide.
