Producer Judy Craymer, who had the idea for the original stage show — and has finished a script for a third movie — said: 'She'd be a goddess or some relation who would look very much like Meryl Streep.'
Speaking about the project, 67-year-old Judy told Hollywood news site Deadline: 'Well, we know what we want to do with the movie, and it will happen.
'And I mean, we brought together this amazing group of movie stars that were all connected through it, and huge friendships evolved.'
The first film came out in 2008 and had an all-star cast, including Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan.
It was adapted from the 1999 West End musical — made up of Abba hits.
The original movie and 2018 sequel Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again have made more than $1billion at the box office.
Espresso singer Sabrina is known to be a big Abba fan and has covered some of their songs on her Short n' Sweet tour.
She also has cats called Benny and Björn — and last month met the real Björn Ulvaeus, 80, in Stockholm.
Amanda Seyfried, 39, who plays Sophie the films, previously said she could see Sabrina playing her daughter, despite an age gap of just 13 years.
She said: 'Old age make-up for me.
'If Sabrina Carpenter wants to play my daughter, I'll make it happen. It's fine. I'm a big fan.'

Spanish Grand Prix practice: Latest updates from Barcelona
Latest updates Kieran Crichard 30 May 2025 1:20pm 1:20PM Long runs Norris is on the soft tyre and McLaren will be getting some data on how the soft is performing over a longer run. The McLaren is so good on its tyres, which is a big part of why their race pace is very good. 1:15PM Top ten with 15 minutes to go Norris 1:13.718 Verstappen +0.367 Hamilton +0.378 Leclerc +0.520 Piastri +0.576 Lawson +621 Bearman +0.879 Hadjar +0.887 Tsunoda +0.925 Gasly +1.028 1:04PM Changes at the top Leclerc had gone half a second faster than Russell but he is then pipped at the top by Verstappen. Norris is on a lap, as is Hamilton. The seven-time world champion is just off the time of Verstappen before Norris goes purple, purple, purple to go nearly four tenths quicker than Verstappen. Piastri can only go fifth, more than half a second down on his teammate Norris. 1:00PM New man at the top of the timesheets Mercedes' George Russell is on the medium tyre and goes just over half a second clear of Norris. The Sauber of Hulkenberg then jumps up into second, just over a tenth off Russell, but he is on the soft tyre. Hamilton is now back out on track and has a new set of softs on the car. His Ferrari teammate Leclerc is also on a new set of softs. 12:59PM Meanwhile at Alpine It has been a tumultuous few months for the team, with now former team principal Oliver Oakes departing and they have already had a change of drivers with Colapinto replacing Jack Doohan. Flavio Briatore is back at the team and seemingly at the helm and he will face the media in between sessions. 12:55PM Activity at Ferrari The mechanics are hard at work on Hamilton's Ferrari. 12:54PM Not much change? Verstappen, who sits third on the timesheets at the moment, has also been having his say ahead of the weekend on the front wings: 'It will change the balance of the car a bit. I do not expect massive time gains or losses between the teams. The wings never gave us a massive performance gain. I do not know if we got it wrong or did not extract the most from it. 'Even for the other teams, I am sure it is manageable. If you have a good car, you have a good car. Okay the front wing bends a bit less but you can tune it around.' 12:47PM View from the seven-time world champion Hamilton has nearly collided with the RB of Hadjar at turn 12. He is currently eighth fastest and here is what he has had to say on the testing of the flexible front wings ahead of the weekend: 'The flexi-wing was a band-aid for quality design I would say - getting the set-up and creating devices and mechanisms on the car mechanically, all the engineers are able to do it. 'It is still not that easy to get the load that you need on the front end at a low speed, or just rely solely on mechanical grip. So far everyone has been managing, some people better than others. 'This weekend is going to be interesting because we have got less flex at the front wing. You have a lot of front end at high-speed corners and less at low speed. It will be interesting to see how that affects different teams. Some teams probably did a better job than others, so I have no idea how it will affect us.' 12:43PM That did not last long! Norris goes purple in the first two sectors and goes quickest overall, over two tenths clear of Alonso. Here is the current top five: Norris 1:15.259 Alonso +0.221 Verstappen +0.546 Piastri +0.553 Stroll +0.663 12:41PM Home fans celebrating Still early days in FP1 but Alonso is at the top of the timesheets, much to the delight of the home faithful. I suspect there will not be many times at all this weekend that Alonso or Sainz will be fastest. He is a tenth and a half clear of Norris. Verstappen is in third followed by Piastri and Leclerc.

England ace Michelle Agyemang insists ‘there is more to come from her' with the Lionesses
SURREAL is how Michelle Agyemang described her emergence as a senior England international this year. Last month the versatile Arsenal striker, 19, showed why Gunners and England legend Kelly Smith sees her as one of the club's "fearless" rising stars. 5 5 5 5 Less than a minute into her senior debut, the England ace let fly with a stunning volley that found its targets in a Nations League duel with Belgium. While the Lionesses fell to a 3-2 away loss in that game on April 4 Agyemang's 16-minute cameo underlined why her rise through England's ranks has been rapid. After scoring a hat-trick in a 10-0 demolition of Lithuania in the Women's Under-19 Championship last July, the striker moved up to England's Under-23s two months later. And just two months after scoring a brace against Germany in a friendly for the side, she received first call-up into Sarina Wiegman's England squad. Of her emergence as a senior international player, Agyemang said: "I'm a person of few words, so I'm struggling already. "I think it's 'surreal', like, just the manner in which it happened. "There are so many more things to come and I'm just really grateful for the opportunity." Agyemang's appearance in England's last Nations League outing came at a time of the team contending with injuries to Alessia Russo and Lauren James. Forward Lauren Hemp, now back in the squad after her comeback from injury, was also yet to return to match action for her club Manchester City. With the trio out, Wiegman opted to bring in Agyemang who impressed during her loan spell at Brighton from Arsenal last season, as well for the young Lionesses. Reflecting on her first call-up and being in England's squad this month, she added: "When I got the phone-call [from Sarina when I was] just literally coming out of the shower, "It was unexpected, but I'm really grateful that she's put the trust in me to come in and show what I can do for a longer period of time. "It was amazing to get that call and to be here again. "My family has been so supportive. When I was telling them my mum was screaming, my dad was shouting as well and then my friends as well." Playing across three different age groups for England within 11 months does not phase Agyemang. The player who grew up in Southend, Essex and whose club journey with Arsenal began in their academy at six, is determined to deliver no matter which Lionesses side she plays for. Agyemang said: "Wherever I am (in whichever England team) it's about just going out there, helping the team prepare and winning the trophy. "We still have the Under- 19's Euros coming up (in June) as well as the senior Euros "It's been interesting going through the different age groups, meeting different players and coaches. "But I think the England pathway is so similar across the board so it's really easy to settle in no matter where I am." Against Portugal at 7:45pm tonight Agyemang hopes to get another chance to make her mark and help England return to winning ways in the Nations League. Should Spain lose to Belgium, a defeat of their opponents at Wembley would see Wiegman's side return to the top of their group. Agyemang's last experience of being near Wembley's pitch was during England's 4-0 defeat of Northern Ireland in a World Cup qualifier in October 2021. She said: "I was 15 and was a ball girl. They had a few of the girls from (England's) pathway there. Beth Mead scored (a hat-trick)." Tonight's game will provide a chance for Agyemang to continue to impress with the striker targeting a place in Sarina Wiegman's squad for this year's Euros. In Switzerland on July 5 the Lionesses will begin their push to win the tournament for a second time with a group stage clash with France. 5 And Agyemang hopes to be among the players included in Wiegman's 26-strong group. The Arsenal starlet added: "I like to take things one at a time. "Coming here (to England's camp), showing what I can do in order to maybe get on that plane is my first thought right now."
