Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again...again! ABBA star Bjorn Ulvaeus has opened up about the possibility of bringing back the hit film franchise for a third time, and revealed that it certainly wasn't on the cards! Chatting to Magic Radio, he explained: "I probably said after the first film that there won't be a second. So, you never know. But, you know, why we did the second film was that [director Ol] Parker and Richard Curtis came up with this idea and that's why we did it. So, if someone comes up with an idea for Mamma Mia 3, we'll have a look at it."

However, he added that he "doubted it", but we shall see! Bjorn isn't the only person who has suggested they could well bring Mamma Mia back for a third film, as Stellan Skarsgård said: "I wouldn't have to read the script. If they call, I'll come… I think that the problem is, do they have enough songs? Do they have the right songs? Can they come up with a story which doesn't have to be that plausible, but plausible enough? But if they want to do it, I'll be there… It was ten years between the two, so I will probably appear in an urn in the next one."

The second film was a massive success, and saw Meryl Streep, Colin Firth, and Pierce Brosnan reprising their roles alongside a host of A-list stars. Cher also appeared in the film as Donna's mother, despite only being four years older than the actress! Speaking about the role, she joked: "I am older than her - by four years! When they asked I said, 'That's absolutely fine, that's cool.' My agent called me and said, 'You're in the new Mamma Mia film’ and then hung up. I didn't have much choice!"
