Amanda Seyfried jokes ‘Mamma Mia 3’ will happen before 2038, fans say: "We need this before our knees give out"

Amanda Seyfried has revealed that the third installment of Mamma Mia may be in the works, though she says it could be a long, long time coming.

Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, the Mean Girl alum jokingly suggested that fans would have to wait until 2038 before they get to see her reprise her role in the film again. The first film came out in 2008, and was a massive hit almost immediately. It featured Seyfried as Sophie Sheridan and Meryl Streep stars as Donna Sheridan.

It was only a decade later that the sequel, Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, came out, which means if the past is anything to go by, we really could be looking at over a decade here. Fans have already begun stressing over the situation, though we can't help but point out that some of these reactions are downright hilarious. We've listed all of the best ones down below. Have fun!
