Mamma Mia 3 gets exciting update from star Christine Baranski
Mamma Mia star Christine Baranski has shared an exciting update on the anticipated third film.
Since the release of Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again in 2018, fans have clamoured for a third instalment in the musical series inspired by the iconic works of ABBA.
Baranski, who plays Tanya Chesham-Leigh in the films, has now revealed that she recently caught up with Mamma Mia creator Judy Craymer to discuss the threequel's plot.
"I was in London with Judy Craymer at our favourite watering hole, she is planning Mamma Mia 3. She gave me the narrative plotline of how it's going to happen. That's all I can say!" she told The Hollywood Reporter.
"But it's not like, 'Oh, I wish it could happen!' Judy Craymer makes things happen. She made number two happen, and it was a phenomenal hit. I wouldn't put it past Judy Craymer to get everybody back together."
Baranski went on to discuss why the musical adaptations are so beloved, saying: "It's just the kind of movie that makes people happy. Mamma Mia made so many millions of people around the world happy.
"Is it a little dumb, a little campy? That's part of its charm. When I'm in Europe, I can't tell you how many little girls want to be photographed with Tanya. It troubles me a little, that Tanya's their favourite character. But, hey, we're always attracted to that kind of snappy, sexy lady."
In October 2023, Craymer confirmed that a third movie definitely "will happen" – it's just a matter of when.
Meryl Streep, who plays Donna Sheridan in the movies, later revealed that she's due to have a discussion about the latest instalment.
"I don't know how they're going to do it. They have an idea. I haven't heard it yet but it's in [my diary] and I'm going to hear about it pretty soon," she said to Deadline, adding: "Of course I want to do it. I think folks love it."
Amanda Seyfried, Pierce Brosnan and Lily James have also shared that they would love to rejoin their cast members for a third outing.
Mamma Mia! is available to stream on Netflix.
