The query of whether or not or not Mamma Mia 3 is within the works has been up within the air since 2020. But lots of the film musical’s stars, from Christine Baranski to Cher, have been hyping up the chance and weighing in on the excitement of the possibly threequel. However not too long ago, Baranski has modified her tune about piping up in regards to the continuation of the ABBA-based world attributable to previous experiences.
The 73-year-old chatted with Vainness Honest about loads, together with her 2025 TV information titles, 9 Good Strangers and The Gilded Age (obtainable to stream together with your Hulu account and Max account, respectively). And naturally, after transferring by way of her current tasks, she was requested about the opportunity of Mamma Mia 3. Baranski was fast to acknowledge that she is aware of folks wish to know, however remained obscure and alluded to the threequel has no strong legs to face on as of now, as she mentioned:
I do know—folks wish to know, and I’m afraid to talk up. As a result of the final time I mentioned one thing about having drinks with [producer] Judy Kramer and the way she very a lot needs to do one other Mamma Mia, it simply went viral as if it have been going to occur. Actually, there’s a whole lot of discuss and a whole lot of need to do it once more, however nothing has occurred that claims there’s a greenlight. It’s all aspirational at this level.
I can’t blame The Good Spouse alum for retaining a comparatively zipped lip after her final expertise discussing the subject. It’s attention-grabbing, although, that Pierce Brosnan’s paternal tease, together with the small parade of feedback from his friends that made manufacturing sound slightly extra concrete. Then once more, Amanda Seyfried’s efforts and dedication for MM3 to get that go-ahead have made it fairly clear nothing has been promised simply but.
As a follow-up, Baranski was requested about her lack of social media and the web’s hype surrounding Mamma Mia!’s wrap social gathering. Her response laid out the backstory to the viral picture assortment of the forged partying after hours, noting it was fairly the night with a really particular visitor. She shared:
This was earlier than cell telephones turned actually ubiquitous, however folks had their little telephones they usually have been taking footage. So there’s quite a bit on the market about that one social gathering on a Greek island the place Benny Anderson [of ABBA] performed for all of us, and all of us simply stood up prefer it was karaoke evening and sang our songs. It was fairly one thing.
That collection of pics is the definition of parasocial FOMO for me and any Mamma Mia! lover. Between hobnobbing with the partygoers in attendance and having a member of ABBA available to carry out so everybody can all dance the evening away on a Greek island feels like an actual dream. And, possibly, the most effective a part of all of it was that telephones weren’t as embedded into on a regular basis life as they’re in the present day.
Because the 2025 film calendar stands, and a few have combined emotions about Mamma Mia 3 taking place, the query of whether or not or not the threequel will really get rolling stays. It’ll be attention-grabbing to observe Baranski and co. proceed to speak in regards to the prospects of the third flick and the way open they’re in regards to the topic.
