Colin Firth says he would do another 'Mamma Mia' movie: 'I would do it just to see my friends again on some beautiful island'
  • Colin Firth said he is game for a third "Mamma Mia" movie "just to see my friends again."
  • "I think it could happen," Firth told "Good Morning America" host Lara Spencer on Thursday.

Colin Firth said another "Mamma Mia!" sequel is not off the table.

"I think it could happen," Firth told "Good Morning America" host Lara Spencer on Thursday. "If you manage to make a second one, I guess you can make a third, a fourth, and a fifth. It was already a miracle."

Whether or not there is enough material for a third movie, Firth told Spencer he isn't sure.

"Well, they did it," he told Spencer. "And if people want it, I would do it just to see my friends again on some beautiful island."

When asked whether it was as "joyful" to make the "Mamma Mia" movies as it was to watch them, Firth told Spencer: "Improbable as it is, yes. Because quite often it looks fun, but it isn't. We're actually at work, and it's hard work to make a thing look fun. Not so much this time."

"We weren't as drunk as we looked, but it was just the sheer joy of this group of people," he added.

Firth also credited the first movie's soundtrack — which famously features ABBA hits — for making the musical films as beloved as they are.

" There's something about ABBA," he told Spencer. "Whatever you think of them — whether you liked them back in the day... It links us all anyway because everybody knows it, so I think there's a magic to that."

Firth was on "Good Morning America" to speak about his new show "The Staircase" when he and Spencer discussed the "Mamma Mia" films.
