Mamma mia, here she goes again ... back to the big screen.

Cher has joined the Mamma Mia! sequel, marking her first onscreen film role since 2010's Burlesque.

Also on board are most of the cast of the original, including Meryl Streep, Amanda Seyfried, Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, Dominic Cooper, Julie Walters, Stellan Skarsgard and Christine Baranski.

The musician teased the happy news on Twitter.

Detials about Cher's character are being kept under wraps. But honestly, who cares – the point is that Cher is going to be in this thing. My my, how can we resist this?

Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again is in theaters July 20, 2018.
