“When I’m in Europe, I can’t tell you how many little girls want to be photographed with Tanya. It troubles me a little, that Tanya’s their favorite character,” she said with a laugh. “But, hey, we’re always attracted to that kind of snappy, sexy lady.”

Craymer previously teased a thirdMamma Mia!film in an interview withVogueto celebrate the 15th anniversary of the 2008 movie musical. She said there"has to be another onebecause people want it,” but “the trouble is we’re all getting older.”

“But,” Craymer added, “we couldn’t be in a better place as far as having a cast who are eager to do it.”

Streep, 75, whose character Donna was killed off in the 2018 sequelMamma Mia! Here We Go Again, told the outlet that “if there’s an idea that excites me, I’m totally there.”

“I’m up for anything,” the Oscar winner said about a sequel. “… I told Judy if she could figure out a way to reincarnate Donna, I’m into that. Or it could be like in one of those soap operas where Donna comes back and reveals it was really her twin sister that died.”
