Amanda Seyfried hopes Sophie explores motherhood in 'Mamma Mia 3'

Amanda Seyfried shares her vision for Sophie in a potential 'Mamma Mia 3', expressing desire to explore motherhood. Producer confirms script is ready.

"Oh, with kids. I mean, I love being a mother. I love playing a mother, and I would love to dive into the curiosities of motherhood and raising children on a Greek island, just like Donna did with Sophie. - Amanda Seyfried / People Magazine"

Los Angeles, December 22

Amanda Seyfried has shared her vision for her 'Mamma Mia!' character Sophie if a third film in the franchise is ever made.

Speaking to People magazine at the Los Angeles premiere of The Testament of Ann Lee, Seyfried, 40, said she would love to explore Sophie's life as a mother. "Oh, with kids. I mean, I love being a mother," she said. "I love playing a mother, and I would love to dive into the curiosities of motherhood and raising children on a Greek island, just like Donna did with Sophie."

Seyfried, who played the daughter of Meryl Streep's Donna in the 2008 musical romantic comedy, continued, "I think that would be really interesting. I have no idea where the story is going to go, but I know there's going to be a lot of singing and dancing."

She added with enthusiasm, "I'm going to keep campaigning for that movie until I'm blue in the face," highlighting her commitment to seeing a potential third instalment in the Mamma Mia! franchise, according to People.

Producer Judy Craymer confirmed that a script for Mamma Mia 3, intended as a follow-up to the 2018 prequel-sequel 'Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again', has been completed, and the film remains in development. Craymer also hinted at the possibility of pop star Sabrina Carpenter joining the cast, presumably alongside Seyfried and Streep, 76.

Off-screen, Seyfried draws on her own experiences as a mother of two, daughter Nina, 8, and son Thomas, 5, with husband Thomas Sadoski. The couple, who eloped in a private ceremony in 2017 after getting engaged in 2016, live on a farm with their children in upstate New York, according to People.

Honestly, I hope they make it soon. These are the kind of cheerful, musical films we need more of. My whole family enjoys them together. Much better than all the dark superhero stuff. Amanda Seyfried seems genuinely passionate about it.

The concept is sweet, but I really hope the script is strong. The second one felt a bit forced at times. They need a story that does justice to the original's charm. Also, will Meryl Streep return? That's the big question!

Interesting to see how they handle motherhood themes. As a dad, I appreciate movies that show family dynamics in a positive, fun light. My wife is a huge ABBA fan, so this is definitely going to be a date night movie for us.

Sabrina Carpenter joining the cast? That's a smart move to attract younger audiences. The franchise needs fresh energy alongside the original stars. Hoping for some great new ABBA covers and maybe a cameo from the band members? 🤞

It's lovely that Amanda is drawing from her own experience as a mother. That authenticity always shows on screen. The first Mamma Mia came out when I was in college, and now I watch it with my daughter. Time flies! Bring on part 3.
