Could there be aMamma Mia 3on the horizon?
While there’s no official word yet,Ol Parker, who directedMamma Mia! Here We Go AgaintoldScreenrantthat the pieces are there for a potential third installment.
“Judy Craymer, the genius producer behind the musical and the first two films, always plans for it to be a trilogy. That’s all I can say,” Parker said. “The first one made an enormous amount of money, and I think we made a fair amount, too. I know that there is a hunger for a third, and I know that she has a plan. Wouldn’t it be lovely?”
“I was meant to have been getting on with that, in my head, during these months. But then I got hit with COVID fog,” she said at the time.
“I think one day there will be another film because there’s meant to be a trilogy, you see,” she continued. “I know Universal would like me to do it.”

Some of the actors from the movies have also expressed interest to return, includingAmanda Seyfried, 37, andChristine Baranski, 70.
“Listen, every single person in that movie wouldsay yes in a heartbeatbecause we want to hang out with each other,” SeyfriedtoldColliderin 2020. “That’s what we talked about last time, like did we ever think that we’d end up here again on an Island in Croatia?”
The Good Fightstar told EW in January that she thinksit would be “fun"if the cast reunited for another movie.
“If we could go back and have the same amount of good fun, and be on a Greek island together filming and dining together at night at some wonderful trattoria or taverna, I don’t think anybody would give you an argument,” Baranski said.
However, she also noted that getting the star-studded cast members — includingMeryl Streep,Pierce Brosnan,Colin Firth,Stellan SkarsgårdandJulie Walters— together again with their busy schedules would be “a nightmare.”
Skarsgård, 71, echoed Baranski’s enthusiasm for returning to filmMamma Mia 3in an interview withScreenrantin 2021.

“It took 10 years betweenMamma Mia!andMamma Mia! 2— if it’s going to take another 10 years, then I’ll be dead,” Skarsgård said. “I’m worried we might not get there. But if they call,I will say yes immediately,because the experience of doing those two films was fantastic.”
He added that he’d like to see hisDuneco-star Dave Bautista also join in on the fun.
“… Hopefully you’ll be in it, Dave,” Skarsgård joked. “We talked about that. I want to dance with David on an island in Greece.”
