"I’m holding out hope", says Amanda Seyfried about Mamma Mia! 3

In the recent interview with Collider, Amanda Seyfried has shared some cheerful updates about Mamma Mia! 3. She emphasized the fact that there are invariably more possibilities in this franchise to take place as she explains:

"I’m 100% optimistic. I think the second one proves that there’s always a need or a desire. I’m holding out hope. I’m not holding my breath for it to happen at any specific point, but I do believe, in my heart of hearts, that we’re all going to band together to make it happen. I do."

As Amanda Seyfried elucidated further about her wish for Mamma Mia! 3, she was also reminiscent about the OG Mamma Mia!. She excitedly talks about it as she says:

Because there’s just a desire from us, from the creators too, and when there’s enough of a desire, it usually takes place, especially if it’s so positive. I can’t wait. I don’t know what my life was like at that point, but it’s just time to go back to Greece. We haven’t been to Greece since 2008. I also am 100% positive we’ll do it in Greece to bring home. Croatia was great. Don’t get me wrong, Croatia is an amazing place. But it’s set in Greece, so let’s just go back to Greece."
