During a recent interview with ABC News’ Will Ganss, Amanda Seyfried, who played Sophie in the Mamma Mia! movies, discussed the potential for a third film in the series. When asked about the possibility of Sabrina Carpenter playing her character’s daughter in the next movie, Seyfried expressed enthusiasm and willingness to make it happen.
Despite the age difference, Seyfried joked about using old age makeup and stated that she would be open to the idea, showing her support for Carpenter. This conversation was sparked by Carpenter’s recent performance of ABBA’s “Mamma Mia” during her ongoing Short n’ Sweet Tour, which caught the attention of fans and industry insiders alike. With Seyfried’s endorsement, the idea of Carpenter joining the Mamma Mia! franchise seems to be gaining traction.
Amanda Seyfried was part of the star-studded cast that included Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, Stellan Skarsgård, Dominic Cooper, Julie Walters, and Christine Baranski in the 2008 film adaptation of the musical “Mamma Mia!” The story follows Sophie, a bride-to-be on a fictional Greek island, as she tries to connect with her biological father by inviting three men, one of whom she suspects might be her father, to her wedding.
In 2018, Seyfried and much of the original cast returned for “Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again,” which serves as both a sequel and prequel. While a third movie has not been officially announced, there are talks about a potential third installment, with series producer Judy Craymer discussing plans for the next film.
