Amanda Seyfried is unsure if Universal would be willing to pay the “fair” amount for the stars of a potential third ‘Mamma Mia’ movie. She expressed her desire to return for a third installment, but believes the decision ultimately depends on whether Universal is willing to invest the funds.
Amanda Seyfried shared with Vogue magazine that no one has said no or yes to the idea of ‘Mamma Mia 3’. She speculates that the reason for the hesitation could be a lack of affordability, stating that while she would do the film for free, it is not the nature of the business.
Donna Langley, chairman of Universal Pictures, confirmed the company’s interest in making a third ‘Mamma Mia’ film. However, no further details were provided.
Meryl Streep expressed her interest in a third movie, even though her character is deceased. She stated her willingness to participate if the storyline excites her and jokingly suggested ideas for Donna’s return, either through reincarnation or a twin sister reveal.
Stellan Skarsgard, who plays Bill Anderson, had a humorous response to the possible script. He joked about being reduced to ashes when the script finally materializes but expressed his eagerness to participate nonetheless.
In January, Amanda Seyfried mentioned that she was still waiting for the call to join a third ‘Mamma Mia’ film.
