Mamma Mia 3: Under what conditions could a sequel see the light of day? This actor has the answer!

Will Amanda Seyfried and Meryl Streep return to the Greek islands to perform ABBA? This is a question for fans of Mamma Mia! It comes after it was announced last May that a possible third installment of the summer saga and the possible return of Meryl Streep, whose character supposedly died in Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again was released in 2018.

Amanda Seyfried will only play her role if she gets a raise

Amanda Seyfried said he was excited to return to his character, but wished the studio would pay the actors better in the film. Words that echo SAG-AFTRA’s demands for a pay raise.

Will Universal agree to pay properly?

Seyfried explains: “Nobody’s saying no, but nobody’s saying yes either. The government probably can’t afford to pay us… I hate to say it because I would. Mamma Mia 3 For free because I love this team, but that’s not the reality of the business we’re in. What is right is right. And I have a feeling that the production of the third film is going to be just as stupid as the money thing. Will Universal agree to a proper payment?’

This is not the first time that the actor has asked for more money to play his role in the hit franchise. In 2022, Neve Campbell announced that he would not play the role of Sidney Prescott in Scream 6 unless Paramount agreed to a pay raise. Finally, the film was shot without his hero.

Why did Meryl Streep agree to star in “Mamma Mia!” ?

“This musical was a city-wide event, and Mamma Mia! At that time it became an important part for me and my family. When I had five little girls to entertain at my daughter’s birthday party, I decided to take them to see the show and it was the most glorious thing ever. People were standing in their seats and dancing in the halls. It was fantastic and anything that can bring so much joy always deserves a place in the world.

Oh my god, I want to do this!

A few years later, my agent called me and told me about three offers that he thought were interesting. Everyone looked very grave and serious, and at the end of the call he said to me: “Oh, and I almost forgot to say—you’ll probably laugh—but the people of ‘Mamma Mia!’. I stood up and said: “Oh my god, no, I want to do that!”
