“I was with Judy Craymer at our favorite bar in London,” Christine told the outlet, adding: “She is planning Mamma Mia 3. She explained to me the plot, how it’s going to happen. That’s all I can say about it!”
Christine then pointed out that this wasn’t an “Oh, I wish it could happen!” situation because “Judy Craymer makes things happen. She made number two happen, and it was a phenomenal success. I wouldn’t put it past Judy Craymer to bring everyone back together.”
The actress also joked that she “hopes” the cast “will all be on some fabulous Greek or Croatian island having a great time.”
