The 'Espresso' hitmaker is wanted by producer Judy Craymer to star in the third movie based on the ABBA musical of the same name in a role connected to the late Donna Sheridan–Carmichael (Meryl Streep). Craymer told Deadline: "She'd be a goddess or some relation who would look very much like Meryl Streep." Sabrina, 26, is known to be a huge fan of ABBA and has performed some of the legendary Swedish group's hits on her Short n' Sweet tour. The producer came up with the idea for the 'Mamma Mia!' musical, which launched in London's West End back in 1999, and explained that she has a script ready to go for the third flick. Craymer said: "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 original 'Mamma Mia!' film was released in 2008 and featured an all-star cast including Streep, Pierce Brosnan and Amanda Seyfried. It was followed by the sequel 'Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again' in 2018. Seyfried has previously championed the idea of Sabrina appearing in the third flick as her character Sophie's daughter should the movie come to fruition. Quizzed about the prospect despite the singer only being 13 years her junior, the 39-year-old actress told ABC News last year: "You know what? Old age makeup for me. That's what it will be. ... I'm an actor. I'll do it. "If Sabrina Carpenter wants to play my daughter, I'll make it happen. It's fine. She's ... I'm a big fan." Amanda revealed at the time that she hadn't seen a screenplay for the third 'Mamma Mia!' installment but underlined that "everybody says it's gonna happen". She said: "'Mamma Mia! 3', let's go baby. "Everybody says it's gonna happen. But I mean, I haven't seen a script." Fellow cast member Christine Baranski previously revealed that Craymer was working on getting a third entry in the franchise to the big screen. She told The Hollywood Reporter: "I was in London with Judy Craymer at our favourite watering hole, she is planning 'Mamma Mia! 3'. She gave me the narrative plotline of how it's going to happen. That's all I can say! "But, it's not like, 'Oh, I wish it could happen!' Judy Craymer makes things happen." Baranski is convinced that the producer has the pulling power to get such a starry cast back together for a third film.

Sabrina Carpenter is being eyed up for huge role in Mamma Mia 3 - 17 years after original was released
Sabrina Carpenter is being eyed up for huge role in Mamma Mia 3. It's no secret that the singer, 26, is a big ABBA fan, having previously performed their songs on her Short n' Sweet tour, as well as the band being one of her top artists on Spotify. Now, Sabrina could star in the sequel, 17 years after the original film was released, which featured Hollywood actors including Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan. Producer Judy Craymer, who 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, Judy told Hollywood news site Deadline: 'Well, we know what we want to do with the movie, and it will happen. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'And I mean, we brought together this amazing group of movie stars that were all connected through it, and huge friendships evolved.' Amanda Seyfried, 39, who plays Sophie in the films, previously said she could see Sabrina playing her daughter. 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.' The two-time Grammy winner is throwing herself into work after ending her year-long romance with Oscar-nominated actor Barry Keoghan last December. 'They are both young and career-focused, so they've decided to take a break,' an insider told People at the time. Sabrina and the 32-year-old Irishman - who starred in her Please Please Please music video last June - awkwardly attended the Met Gala separately on May 4. Making things more complicated, Barry fathered two-year-old son Brando during his two-year relationship with dental nurse Alyson Kierans, which ended in 2023. On Wednesday, Miley Cyrus gave Carpenter and Chappell Roan their 'Flowers.' 'I thought Sabrina and Chappell both at the Grammys this year,' the 32-year-old pop star said on The Zane Lowe Show. 'It was over the top pro singing. I'm just big fans and I just support those girls all the way.' Miley (born Destiny) knows first-hand 'the courage that it takes and I know that the nerves get in the way.' 'I know that both of them were probably choking on their heart because it's so much pressure, and they just nailed it,' Cyrus added. 'And Sabrina at SNL 50 blew my mind.' The Pennsylvania-born blonde bombshell's single Taste has spent 38 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 - tying it with Please Please Please as her second-longest-running hit. Sabrina's biggest hit remains Espresso having charted for 57 weeks, it's currently at No. 21. Carpenter is next scheduled to headline the Spanish music festival Primavera Sound, which is held at Parc del Fòrum in Barcelona on June 6. The Nonsense Christmas star will then resume her $33.2M-grossing, 72-date Short n' Sweet Tour on July 5-6 at Hyde Park in London. Sabrina has been a singer for the last decade, but her career got a major boost in 2023 while serving opening duties for Taylor Swift. Carpenter - who gets 65.1M monthly listeners on Spotify - originally taught herself how to play piano and guitar with YouTube tutorials. The SKIMS brand ambassador got her first break starring in the Disney Channel shows Disney Fairies, Sofia the First, and Girl Meets World. Sabrina also happens to be the nepotistically-privileged niece of The Simpsons star Nancy Cartwright.

Sabrina Carpenter set for huge role in latest star-studded sequel to $1bn Hollywood blockbuster
SABRINA Carpenter is being eyed up for a starring role in Mamma Mia 3. The chart-topping singer, 26, is wanted to feature in the upcoming feel-good film. 5 5 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.' 5 5
