Everyone's freaking out about Meryl Streep's Donna in 'Mamma Mia 2'
Everyone's guilty pleasure (you love it) is back, but the trailer for Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again has people in a tizz.
The sequel to Pierce Brosnan's horrific debut singing situation, Mamma Mia, has dropped a trailer, which has fans deducing that one main character is, in fact, dead.
That's Donna Sheridan, the first film's central character, played by Meryl "Dancing Queen" Streep.
In the trailer, Sophie (Amanda Seyfried) greets Donna's best friends Rosie (Julie Walters) and Tanya (Christine Baranski) at the wharf, in the same manner as Donna's greeting in the first film. Then comes the kicker.
"I'm pregnant, but I don't know how to do this by myself," she says. What? Where is Donna, where is Sophie's husband, Sky (Dominic Cooper)?
"Your mother is the bravest person we ever met," says Rosie. Met? HUH? Then we dive into a throwback trailer sequence following a young Donna, played by Lily James. Plus, there's a moment when Sophie takes up Donna's spot in the ultimate wedding ABBA cover trio, Donna and the Dynamos.
I think we're in for a few tears with our mums, people.
Suffice to say, fans on Twitter aren't having it.

I mean, if it's any consolation (which it absolutely isn't) Cher shows up, as Donna's mum.
And Meryl's on the poster, so she's not going to be completely absent from the film:

Look, I'll be watching this prime moment of high brow film history gold and weeping into my oversized Cosmopolitan until we know for sure:
