Abba based musical film Mamma Mia 2: Here We Go Again, will hit cinemas in the UK this coming Friday, to the joy of long-time fans.
The last instalment in the series came 10 years ago in July 2008, to widespread box-office success and adoration from fans.
The original film enjoyed a total of 615.7million from the worldwide box office, on just a $52million budget.
The newest film is likely to make a similar box office impact, with a similarly small budget of just $72million.
What is the cast of Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again?
The first films all-star cast will return for the newest inatalment, which is headed by hollywood great Meryl Streep.
In the original film she plays single mother Donna Sheridan, who’s daughter Sophie (Amanda Seyfried) is soon to be married on the island of Kalokairi to Sky (Dominic Cooper).
Not knowing her biological father, Sophie had invited three possible candidates to attend her wedding day, without telling her mother.
Acting veterans Pierce Brosnan, Stellan Skarsgard and Colin Firth play the three possible dads, and hilarity ensues as Donna encounters her former flames.
Meryl Streep will also be flanked by British acting legend Julie Walters and Christine Baranski, who play her best friends Rosie and Tanya.
Cher is confirmed to make an appearance in the newest release, in a major role alongside Lily James, another new introduction to the last films cast.
Cher will be playing Ruby, grandmother to Sophie, as the film builds on the dominant family theme.
So far, we have seen the singer make an appearance in the latest trailer for the film, gatecrashing a party.
The ‘I Got You Babe’ singer is set to duet with Andy Garcia, singing her not so well known ‘Fernando’.
A rendition of Super Trouper at the end of the film is also set to feature vocals from the singing superstar.
What is the plot for Mamma Mia 2?
Mamma Mia 2 will take place five years after the events of the first film.
Still based on the island of Kalokairi, Sophie is pregnant with Sky’s child while running her mother’s villa.
Sophie will be guided by Tanya and Rosie into her mothers’ past, including fronting pop band the Dynamos and founding her villa on the island.
