I never thought that the marketing campaign forMamma Mia! Here We Go Againwould revolve around hiding Meryl Streep, but here we are! The final trailer for the film just dropped, and there’s approximately .03 seconds of Ms. Streep, while the rest of the original cast (and some new faces) dance their asses off. Check it out.
Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again Trailer
Based on this trailer, I’m assuming Meryl Streep’s character is dead, or possibly in the witness protection program. Perhaps the actress was too busy to film a full part. Either way, if you have Meryl Streep in your movie, I feel like you shouldn’t hide her. But what do I know.
InMamma Mia! Here We Go Again, Amanda Seyfried’s character discovers she’s pregnant, which inspires a bunch of people to return to the island of Kalokairi and belt out some ABBA hits. As this story is unfolding, we also jump back in time to see how Meryl Streep’s character (played by Lily James) ended up on the island to begin with. It’s sort of likeThe Godfather Part II, but with more singing and less murder. At some point, Cher shows up, playing Meryl Streep’s mother and Amanda Seyfried’s grandmother. Movies are wild.
Also included in the cast:Christine Baranski,Pierce Brosnan,Dominic Cooper,Colin Firth,Andy García,Stellan SkarsgårdandJulie Walters.Ol Parker, writer ofThe Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, writes and directs the film, from a story byCatherine Johnson,Richard Curtisand Ol Parker. There are at least 10 confirmed ABBA songs appearing on the soundtrack, with the possibility of 12 more. That’s 22 possible ABBA songs up in this movie, folks.Mamma Mia! Here We Go Againis going to be lit.
