Meryl Streep is open to the idea of returning to the film franchise. She said, “I told Judy (film producer) if she could figure out a way to reincarnate Donna, I’m into that. Or it could be like in one of those soap operas where Donna comes back and reveals it was really her twin sister that died.”

In addition to Meryl Streep, Amanda Seyfried, Colin Firth, Pierce Brosnan, Dominic Cooper and Stellan Skarsgård said they are all keen to return if there’s a “good enough script to give us another go.”

Amanda Seyfried said, “I dare you to show me one person who doesn’t want a third Mamma Mia!“
