Sabrina Carpenter Eyed for Mamma Mia 3?
There has been a Mamma Mia film for each decade since the 2000s, and though some fans thought that this would be the end to the franchise, it looks like a third movie could be in the works—and they have one of the biggest pop-stars being eyed to star.
According to Deadline, there have been rumblings of a third Mamma Mia! film in the works, and Sabrina Carpenter is being eyed to star. We don't know who she could be playing, but it's possible that they could be moving forward in the timeline.
For context, the first Mamma Mia! had focused on the relationship between a mother (Meryl Streep) and her daughter (Amanda Seyfried) who had to guess which of her mother's former lovers was her father. The sequel had killed off Streep's character, but then the story followed Seyfried's Sophie going into her own journey of motherhood.
Seeing that Sophie's baby was a boy, it wouldn't make sense for Carpenter to be playing Sophie's child, but it's possible that Sophie could have several children, and Carpenter could be one of them.
Personally, I'm curious just how much of Abba's discography they'll be able to milk, seeing as the second movie already reused a lot of the most popular songs that were already in the first movie. As long as the story is good though, I think a lot of fans would be willing to line up and see the film—plus it doesn't hurt that Carpenter herself could be a major draw.
A Mamma Mia! 3 hasn't been officially announced, but they better get to work on it soon while Carpenter is as popular as she is.

The Last Jedi Director's Rian Johnson had Advice for Natasha Lyonne
Natasha Lyonne as a public figure is generally well-liked, but she did get backlash when it was reported that she was going to use AI to direct her first film. Seeing that AI has become such a touchy topic online, Lyonne was met with a lot of backlash, to which she had some advice from Poker Face director Rian Johnson, who faced the wrath of the Star Wars fandom back in 2017 when The Last Jedi came out. Talking to Variety, Johnson says that his advice to Lyonne was simple: 'shut off the noise and just make things.' Johnson says: '… Any great art, during the process of making it, is going to seem like a terrible idea that will never work… Anything great is created in a bubble. If it weren't, it would never make it past the gestation period.' As for Lyonne's project, she wants to clarify that it's not a 'generative AI movie' and that AI will be used like a 'tool' for things like set extensions. There is also an emphasis that the material used for the AI will be copyright-cleared and 'ethical'. When it comes to backlash, it does feel like Lyonne is trying to take it easy. She says about being in the backlash hole , 'I've never been inside of one of those before… It's scary in there, if anyone's wondering. It's not fun when people say not nice things to you. It grows you up a bit.' We don't know when Lyonne's movie is coming out, but you can catch her in Poker Face Season 2 now streaming on Peacock.

Andor: What Does Ghor Sound Like to Actual French People?
Last week's arc on Andor had introduced audiences to the Ghormans, and nobody was expecting them to actually have their own made-up language in the form of Ghor. The language was completely fabricated for the series, and was made to sound like a mix of French and German, and while native English speakers thought it just sounded like French—people who actually spoke the language got off guard by it as well. Based on this thread on Twitter (that I actually started), there were some people nice enough to give their idea as to what Ghor in Andor sounded like to them, being French speakers. One reply said: When me and my wife heard the first meeting, we both stared at each other and said "these guys are clearly french" — V.R. 🔻🐢 (@mrvenni) May 1, 2025 Another reply said, 'I'm French. At the beginning i was thinking it was German but didn t recognise any word and then i thought it was Romanche (Swiss langage… I thought it was Italian too but neither sounds French to me.' Another wrote, ' Why does he talk my language but i can't get a damn thing?' Probably the simplest description would be that the Ghor language sounded like Simlish to them (i.e., the gibberish used in The Sims games). What's interesting is that officially, Ghor was made to sound French as to be a tribute to actual French revolutionaries from history. Even the Andor actors themselves were all French-speaking, and they were even said to sometimes speak Ghor even when the cameras weren't rolling. Fans are expecting a huge massacre for the Ghormans soon, but it looks like Star Wars showrunner Tony Gilroy isn't making this made up race go out without a bang.
