Sabrina Carpenter is being lined up to star in Mamma Mia! 3

Sabrina Carpenter is being lined up to star in 'Mamma Mia! 3'.

The 'Espresso' hitmaker is wanted by producer Judy Craymer to star in the third movie based on the ABBA musical of the same name in a role connected to the late Donna Sheridan–Carmichael (Meryl Streep).

Craymer told Deadline: "She'd be a goddess or some relation who would look very much like Meryl Streep."

Sabrina, 26, is known to be a huge fan of ABBA and has performed some of the legendary Swedish group's hits on her Short n' Sweet tour.

The producer came up with the idea for the 'Mamma Mia!' musical, which launched in London's West End back in 1999, and explained that she has a script ready to go for the third flick.

Craymer said: "Well, we know what we want to do with the movie, and it will happen.

"And I mean, we brought together this amazing group of movie stars that were all connected through it, and huge friendships evolved."

The original 'Mamma Mia!' film was released in 2008 and featured an all-star cast including Streep, Pierce Brosnan and Amanda Seyfried. It was followed by the sequel 'Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again' in 2018.
