Cher has amassed a commendable acting resume over the years (with roles in projects like Moonstruck and The Witches of Eastwick in addition to almost playing The Borg Queen in Star Trek: First Contact), but the Mamma Mia! sequel is her first major film role since 2010’s Burlesque.
A new report from Variety confirms that Cher has signed on for an unknown role in Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again!
After all, that’s kind of why you would want to hire Cher for a musical in the first place.
Little has been said about who she will portray in the film, or how she will factor into the overall story of the sequel, but something tells us that she will put her voice to good use in at least one song and dance number.
