Deadline shared an article this morning with a quote from NBCUniversal Chairman Donna Langley, saying at the BAFTA's today that "there will be a Mamma Mia! 3." Adding that she and the producer of the original musical, Judy Craymer, are "talking about it," and "If Meryl Streep would like to come back, we'll find a way to bring her back."
Of course, there have been buzzings about a threequel for years now. But this is the most definitive info or quote I've seen or read about it. My guess is that yes, it's going to happen. The only question remains is whether or not Meryl wants to join, and if she does, what that would look like. She had a very minor role in the 2018 sequel, and as we know, was...dead. So the "way to bring her back" has to be centered around how the character of Donna could be featured, or if there would be some twin thing. Who knows. Regardless, if Meryl passed on this I would not be disappointed. One fun thing is that if this were to get going, it wouldn't be unreasonable to consider a 2027 filming schedule, which would have all three films released ten years apart.
More to come I imagine.
