Good news, folks. Cher is making her way back to the big screen in your favourite chick flick/movie musical, Mamma Mia 2: Here We Go Again!
The 71-year-old Oscar winner revealed the news of her role on Twitter when asked by a follower to verify the rumours. Cher wouldn’t provide any other details about her part, but she did tease fans by tweeting the title “Fernando”, one of ABBA’s hit songs.
Universal Pictures is keeping Cher’s character description under wraps, but the Armenian icon shared on Twitter, “Just went through two dance numbers. Everyone’s great”. She then posted a pic of ABBA-style platform shoes to make the announcement official.

The original 2008 film, which was based on the stage musical, stars Meryl Streep, Amanda Seyfried, Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, Stellan Skarsgård, Julie Walters and Christine Baranski. Lily James has joined the cast as the young version of Streep’s Donna.
The sequel will be released on July 20, 2018 — 10 years and two days after Mamma Mia! opened.
