Sabrina Carpenter unveils mysterious teaser and billboard campaign for rumoured new song 'Manchild'
Sabrina Carpenter has ignited fan theories and online chaos with a cryptic new teaser hinting at a major musical release. The pop star posted a 16-second clip on social media featuring her hitchhiking in micro denim shorts and heels, closing with a casual 'Oh boy.' The silent video captioned " we're READY" instantly went viral, sparking speculation over what's coming next. Fans believe the clip is linked to a new track likely titled 'Manchild' after promotional billboards surfaced across Texas. The billboards, credited to SC Entertainment, include phrases like 'HEY MEN,' 'AMEN,' and 'I SWEAR THEY CHOOSE ME I'M NOT CHOOSING THEM,' with one prominently featuring the word 'Manchild' in quotes alongside a 2025 copyright. Photo: X Carpenter has not confirmed if the new release is a single, a video, or both, but her timing is strategic. With the North American leg of her Short n' Sweet Tour resuming in July, a summer anthem seems imminent. Additionally, she will be headlining Primavera Sound Barcelona this weekend alongside Charli XCX and Chappell Roan. In addition to her music, Carpenter is rumoured to be in talks for Mamma Mia! 3, potentially playing a character related to Meryl Streep's.

Sabrina Carpenter eyed for role in Mamma Mia! 3 The 'Espresso' hitmaker is wanted by producer Judy Craymer to star in the third movie based on the ABBA musical of the same name Sabrina Carpenter will perform two London shows in July (Image: Jim Dyson/Redferns/Getty ) Sabrina Carpenter is being lined up to star in 'Mamma Mia! 3'. 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.

Amanda Seyfried makes vow about Mamma Mia 3
Amanda Seyfried has made a promise to fans regarding a potential third Mamma Mia film. The 39-year-old star played Sophie Sheridan in the first Mamma Mia! film in 2008 and reprised the role in the 2018 sequel, Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again. The second film introduced Cher, 78, as her on-screen grandmother, Ruby Sheridan, and now Seyfried has insisted she won't be involved in a third film without the music icon. The star told E! News, "Cher is definitely going to be in it. I mean, I wouldn't want to do it without her at this point." While rumours have rumbled that a third film is in the pipeline, Seyfried appeared to acknowledge that a script is still yet to be written, joking, "There's got to be a contest where somebody writes Mamma Mia! 3." Cher herself has previously made it clear she would love to reprise her role as Ruby Sheridan, telling Entertainment Weekly in November 2024, "We're talking about it. I don't know when they're going to do it, but I know they're talking about it." While fellow star Christine Baranski told The Hollywood Reporter last year, "I was in London with (producer) 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."

Amanda Seyfried Shares Update on "Mamma Mia! 3"
Yara Sameh Amanda Seyfried has shared a long-awaited update about the third entry of the "Mamma Mia! 3" musical franchise. Inspired by ABBA's timeless hits, the franchise debuted in 2008 with the story of Sophie (Seyfried) uncovering the truth of her mother's (Meryl Streep) past on a picturesque Greek island. The 2018 sequel "Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again" intertwines past and present narratives as a young Donna (Lily James) embarks on three whirlwind romances across Europe. Buzz around "Mamma Mia! 3" has grown considerably, especially with Streep expressing interest in reprising her role as the flowery matriarch. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Seyfried revealed that the delay in producing "Mamma Mia! 3" stems from Universal Pictures' focus on "Wicked" and "Wicked: For Good", suggesting the studio prefers to concentrate on one musical project at a time. While both Mamma Mia! installments have been box office successes, with the original film grossing over $600 million worldwide and its sequel amassing $402 million worldwide, it appears the studio has moved onto "Wicked" an Oscar-nominated musical that grossed $729 million worldwide. The possibility of Mamma Mia! 3 remains alive, though its fate is tied to studio priorities and production logistics. In 2018, "Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again" caused delays for Jon M. Chu's adaptation, and now the situation has flipped. Universal Pictures has now seemingly chosen to prioritize "Wicked: For Good", the highly-anticipated sequel to the 10-time Oscar-nominated "Wicked". Given that the 2024 movie has outperformed both Mamma Mia! movies at the box office—breaking the record for the highest-grossing Broadway musical adaptation—Universal is betting big on its continued success. Despite these odds, there's plenty of reason for optimism. Producer Judy Craymer has previously stated that Mamma Mia! was always intended to be a "trilogy," and the cast remains enthusiastic about returning (via Daily Mail). Streep, despite her character Donna's death in Mamma Mia 2, has openly expressed interest in reprising her role with a few creative solutions for her comeback. The third movie would likely continue Sophie's journey as she navigates life without Donna, the fate of the hotel, and her new baby—perhaps as a long-lost sister returns or a new diary is revealed. While "Mamma Mia! 3" remains in limbo, the enthusiasm of Amanda Seyfried and the remaining cast and creative team suggests it's only a matter of time. The upcoming "Wicked: For Good" is set to release in November 2025, meaning production of the ABBA-fueled jukebox musical could begin as early as 2026. With Streep desire to return and the story naturally set up for a sequel, the delay feels more like a waiting game rather "Mamma Mia! 3"than a true roadblock.
