Sabrina Carpenter has been linked to a possible role in Mamma Mia 3.
Speculation over Mamma Mia 3 has been rife over the past few years, with producer Judy Craymer saying back in 2020 that “there’s meant to be a trilogy”. The original adaptation of the ABBA musical came out in 2008 with the sequel, Here We Go Again, arriving in 2018.
Christine Baranski (Tanya Chesham-Leigh) said in August that she had met with producer Judy Craymer. A few months later, Pierce Brosnan said he had met with her also.
“Judy Craymer is a dear friend, and we met during the summer, and I believe that my fellow thespians would all jump at the chance to go and do Mamma Mia 3,” he told The Hollywood Reporter.
“I think it’s doable. Of course, it’s always the story. What is the story? I would definitely welcome the opportunity to go back into the world of Mamma Mia!, for sure.”
Now, in a new interview with Deadline, Craymer hinted Carpenter could be involved in a third film. When asked about who she could play, Craymer said: “She’d be a goddess or some relation who would look very much like Meryl Streep.” She didn’t comment any further.
Craymer also confirmed that a third film was well into development. “Well, we know what we want to do with the movie, and it will happen. And I mean, we brought together this amazing group of movie stars that were all connected through it and huge friendships evolved,” she said.
Despite noting that there was a script, she didn’t disclose any plot details.
Meanwhile, she also hinted at the possibility of a TV version of the beloved musical. “It’ll be a comedy-drama made for TV. I’m not doing that now,” she said. “But I’m just saying it could happen.”
