Pierce Brosnan believes Mamma Mia! 3 is 'doable'

Pierce Brosnan believes a third 'Mamma Mia!' film is "doable" following a meeting with producer Judy Craymer over the summer.

The 71-year-old actor has confirmed he would "welcome the opportunity" to return for another installment of the ABBA-inspired films after previously appearing in the 2008 original and the 2018 follow-up 'Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again'.

He told The Hollywood Reporter: "['Mamma Mia!' producer] Judy Craymer is a dear friend, and we met during the summer, and I believe that my fellow thespians would all jump at the chance to go and do 'Mamma Mia 3'.

"I think it’s doable. Of course, it’s always the story. What is the story? I would definitely welcome the opportunity to go back into the world of 'Mamma Mia!', for sure."

Craymer has previously admitted she's keen to get going on a third film, but she revealed ABBA stars Bjorn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson were worried there isn't enough good material left in their back catalogue to make it work.

She told the Daily Star Sunday newspaper: “A third movie is something I want to do very much. The studio wants to do it. Benny and Bjorn need a bit more persuasion.

"They’re saying, ‘There aren’t enough songs’. And I say, ‘There are enough songs and I know how they could work’. There is so much you can do with those songs."

However, another castmember Christine Baranski recently revealed Craymer is feeling optimistic and has even mapped out a storyline.

She told The Hollywood Reporter: "I was in London with Judy Kramer at our favourite watering hole, she is planning 'Mamma Mia 3'.

"She gave me the narrative plotline 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 Kramer makes things happen."

'The Good Wife' star - who played the part of Tanya Chesham-Leigh in the franchise - added: "People are drawn to happiness and to joy, not doom and gloom.

"'Mamma Mia' made so many millions of people around the world happy. Is it a little dumb, a little campy? That’s part of its charm."
