The film, directed by Phyllida Lloyd and written by Catherine Johnson, is based on her book from the 1999 musical of the same name. The story follows Sophie as she prepares for her wedding at her mother\u2019s Grecian island hotel. What Donna doesn\u2019t know is that Sophie has invited three of her former flames (Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, and Stellan Skarsg\u00e5rd) in hopes that one of them is her father and will agree to walk her down the aisle.<\/p>\n A sequel to the movie released in 2018 was a prequel, following a young Donna\u2019s (Lily James<\/a>) romance with the same three men in 1979, when she first arrives on the island of Kalokairi.<\/p>\n Earlier this year, Amanda Seyfried, who leads both films, said she thinks the third film should focus on her character Sophie as a mother.<\/p>\n The 2026 BAFTA Film Awards take place this afternoon.
