The Mamma Mia! star, whose eclectic CV goes everywhere from ABBA to Preacher, has certainly worked on some incredible things in his career.

The project reunites him with ex-girlfriend Amanda Seyfried, but he previously said the encounter won’t be an issue.

Mamma Mia! 2 will also bring back together Pierce Brosnan, Julie Walters, Christine Baranski and of course Meryl Streep.
The film went into production earlier this week.
