Donna and the Dynamos are back in a new trailer for Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again. We already knew that the sequel to 2008's huge musical hit looks back at how Donna (Meryl Streep) met the three men who could have been her daughter Sophie's father, and the first trailer gave us a look at the young Donna (played by Lily James) and her suitors for the first time. It also revealed an extraspecial cameo from Cher and set our minds whirring as to the fate of Donna. Is Streep's character really dead in the sequel? The signs seem to point that way, and the latest trailers do nothing to dispel our fears.
The new footage, above, only seems to feature Streep in flashbacks (and potentially one dream sequence with the Dynamos), but it has a whole lot of Cher! The icon will be playing the grandmother to Sophie...

With her roles in Baby Driver and the upcoming Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, Lily James is well on her way to becoming a household name - but it's not actually the name she was born with. The English actress's birth name is Lily Chloe Ninette Thomson. So, why the change in surname? The reason might encourage a tear or two.
In 2008, Lily's actor and musician father, James "Jamie" Thomson, passed away from cancer. To honor her beloved father, Lily changed her stage surname to James. After filming father-daughter scenes for Cinderella, Lily opened up to the New York Post, stating "It's weird when you get roles that coincide with your life. Cinderella touches on loss, and there was definitely a strong sense of grief."
No, you're crying.

Based on Julia Walton’s debut novel, the story follows the character of Adam (played by Charlie Plummer) as he tries to navigate high school life while living with paranoid schizophrenia and battling wild hallucinations.

Already the most-anticipated and best-titled movie of the summer, Mamma Mia!: Here We Go Again, the sequel to the 2008 badsterpiece that is Mamma Mia!, has started to amp up its advertising campaign, and it is glorious. By which I mean nonsense. By which I mean, please watch this newly released “lyric video” for the number “I Kissed the Teacher,” which is sung by Cinderella’s Lily James with drunk-at-karaoke fervor.
For those who aren’t familiar with the labyrinthine, sex-positive mythology of the Mamma Mia! universe, James is playing the younger version of Meryl Streep’s character Donna in this film. Here We Go Again is both a prequel and sequel to the original, which is itself based on the jukebox musical of the same name, which was built around the mostly nonsense lyrics of Abba songs. In that movie, Amanda Seyfried plays Meryl’s daughter, who brings the three.

The final trailer for Universal’s “Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again” has been released, and in it, we get a bigger glimpse at Cher’s grandmotherly role in the film.
In the trailer, Amanda Seyfried’s character Sophie tells her fathers (played by Colin Firth, Pierce Brosnan, and Stellan Skarsgård) that she is pregnant.
“I never did ask you guys, what happened when you met my mother?” she asks her dads, at which point the trailer pivots to telling the story of a young Donna (Meryl Streep’s role), who is played by Lily James.
