Amanda Seyfried jokes that costars are vying for roles in ‘Mamma Mia 3’ as buzz grows about a possible third film

Amanda Seyfried has playfully addressed the growing enthusiasm among her fellow actors about ‘Mamma Mia 3’, joking that they are metaphorically “throwing themselves at her” as casting chatter heats up. Seyfried’s light-hearted remark captures both her affection for the franchise and the intense interest her involvement continues to generate as fans and peers alike speculate about the potential third chapter in the beloved musical series.

The comment stems from social media discussion around reports that Seyfried has been fielding enthusiastic feedback from other performers eager to join a hypothetical Mamma Mia! 3. Fans online have interpreted the joke as a sign that industry buzz is building around casting possibilities, though no official confirmation of the film’s development has been announced.

Seyfried is best known to audiences for her role as Sophie in the original Mamma Mia! (2008) and its 2018 sequel Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, films adapted from the hit ABBA stage musical and celebrated for their joyful soundtracks and ensemble casts. In those films she sang iconic tracks and helped bring the beloved songs of ABBA to life on the big screen, earning her widespread recognition.

Earlier this year, Seyfried publicly expressed her excitement about the prospect of a third Mamma Mia film, suggesting that she would love to see the story continue with new characters and cameos. She specifically mentioned names like Sydney Sweeney and Sabrina Carpenter as performers she would love to see involved, indicating strong interest from her side in expanding the franchise’s cast and appeal.

Fans on Reddit reacted enthusiastically to Seyfried’s joke, with many expressing hope that Mamma Mia 3 might eventually move from speculation into actual production. Threads discussing her comment were filled with nostalgic memories of the earlier films and anticipation about how the story could evolve, with some suggesting creative directions for the sequel and possible character arcs.

Despite the humour and fan excitement, there has been no official announcement confirming a third film from the producers or the studio. Seyfried’s remarks, framed with warmth and playfulness, seem aimed at keeping the conversation alive and showing her appreciation for the franchise’s enduring popularity among colleagues and audiences alike.
