Last August, Christine, who played Tanya in the first two films, said Judy had shed light on the plot – but couldn’t say much more than that.
She told the Hollywood Reporter: ‘I was in London with Judy Craymer at our favorite watering hole, she’s planning Mamma Mia 3. She gave me the storyline 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. She made number two possible and it was a phenomenal hit. I wouldn’t leave it to Judy Craymer to get everyone back together.”
“It’s exactly the kind of movie that makes people happy,” she added. ‘Mamma Mia has made so many millions of people happy around the world. Is it a little silly, a little campy? That’s part of the charm.’
Mamma Mia is now streaming on Netflix.
