Amanda Seyfried has motherhood in mind for her Mamma Mia! character.
Speaking with PEOPLE in an exclusive interview at the Los Angeles premiere of The Testament of Ann Lee on Dec. 14, the actress revealed what she envisions Sophie’s life would be like if Mamma Mia 3 ever got made.
“Oh, with kids. I mean, I love being a mother,” the 40-year-old mother of two kids said of her Mamma Mia! character and herself. “I love playing a mother, and I would love to dive into the curiosities of motherhood and raising children on a Greek island — just like Donna did with Sophie.”
Meryl Streep played Sophie’s mom in the 2008 musical romantic comedy.

Seyfried continued of a potential plotline of Sophie being a mother, “I think that would be really interesting. I have no idea where the story is going to go, but I know there’s going to be a lot of singing and dancing.”
“I’m going to keep campaigning for that movie until I’m blue in the face,” she emphasized of the potential third film in the Mamma Mia! franchise.
A script for Mamma Mia 3 — which would serve as a follow-up to 2018’s prequel-sequel Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again — has been completed and the film remains in development, according to producer Judy Craymer.
“Well, we know what we want to do with the movie, and it will happen,” Craymer told Deadline in May while discussing pop star Sabrina Carpenter potentially joining the cast, presumably alongside Seyfried and Streep, 76.
