Mamma Mia star roots for huge singing sensation to join cast for third film as dream co-star
One Mamma Mia star suggested for a singing sensation to join the cast for the third film in the franchise.
As fans eagerly anticipate a third Mamma Mia film, lead star Amanda Seyfried has suggested singing sensation Sabrina Carpenter should join the franchise.
Despite an official announcement for the film not happening yet, the actress has already started putting the feelers out for the movie and is keen for the Espresso singer to join the gang.
She told ABC News: "Mamma Mia 3, let’s go baby. Everybody says it’s gonna happen. But I mean, I haven’t seen a script."
Despite being only 13 years older than her, Amanda suggested she could play Sabrina's on-screen mother.
She continued: "You know what? Old age makeup for me. That’s what it will be. … I’m an actor. I’ll do it.
"If Sabrina Carpenter wants to play my daughter, I’ll make it happen. It’s fine. I’m a big fan."
The first Mamma Mia! film released back in 2008 and along with Amanda, the film featured Christine Baranski, Pierce Brosnan, Dominic Cooper and Colin Firth.

The film was a box office success and grossed a whopping $694.6 million worldwide on a $52 million budget.
The plot follows Amanda's character Sophie who invites three men to her wedding with the hopes of finding out which one is her father.
Not only that, but it went on to become the fifth highest-grossing film of 2008 and spawned a sequel titled Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again which was released in 2018.
Much of the cast remained the same, with the addition of Andy Garcia, Lily James, Cher, Alexa Davies, Jessica Keenan Wynn and Josh Dylan.
Although it didn't make as much as the first film, it still was a box office success, making $402.3 million against a budget of $75 million.
Meanwhile, Sabrina's career has skyrocketed in the last couple of years and she has firmly cemented herself as pop princess.
She started out on the Disney Channel series Girl Meets World and then signed with Disney-owned Hollywood Records.
Sabrina gained commercial success with the release of her sixth album in 2024, titled Short n' Sweet.
It became her first album to debut at the top of the US Billboard 200 Chart, and she got two number one singles in the form of Espresso and Please Please Please.
