Amanda Seyfried talks about the possibility that 'Mamma Mia 3' could be filmed; she also hinted that she might be taking a trip back to North Shore High for the musical 'Mean Girls'
Mamma Mia, she could come back. Amanda Seyfried has hinted at the possibility of a Mamma Mia 3. Seyfried recently explained her absence from the Golden Globes by stating that she is currently working on an unnamed musical in an interview with Entertainment Tonight at the Critic's Choice Awards on Sunday.
During the interview, Seyfried provided more details about the project, saying that her absence from the Golden Globes was unrelated to Mamma Mia. The mystery musical Seyfried is currently working on has been revealed to be a stage play based on Thelma and Louise, which will also star Evan Rachel Wood. Seyfried further explained her absence, saying:
It was a bit too mysterious. Honestly, I just wanted to give a good faith explanation as to why I missed it. I didn't want that generic 'I can't be here tonight'. It's like, no, I can't be here tonight for an amazing reason, and the amazing reason is that I'm living the fantasy of my life.
When asked about the possibility of a third Mamma Mia! Seyfried didn't rule it out, saying:
I have absolutely no power, but we are waiting for the call. You know what I mean? There are enough ABBA songs, Judy Craymer is 100% on board. I don't know what the people at Universal are doing
Seyfried hasn't closed on the possibility, however, the timeline for a Mamma Mia sequel may still be a long way off, as Seyfried is currently working on several musical projects. During the interview, Seyfried also expressed interest in the upcoming adaptation of the Broadway musical Mean Girls. Seyfried stated that she "would be very open" to doing a cameo in the film, but she "doesn't really know for sure" if she'll be able to do it. Speaking of Mean Girls, Seyfried said:
She has evolved a lot in a new way over the years. That was my first movie. It's so dear and I just don't see it ever ending. I hope it never stops evolving
