I too am wondering about Meryl. No idea how she fits in. All the dialogue in the trailer does make it seem like she's dead. But, who knows? Interesting that all the music in the trailer is from the original show/movie. None of the new songs featured...weird.
BUT, that cameo of Cher in the trailer is DIVINE!

They say "Is the bravest person" not "was the bravest" so I don't think she's dead. My guess is Sophie doesn't know how to tell her mother she's pregnant blah blah blah I don't care I can't wait.
Please tell me I'm not the only one who thought of this:
My excitement for this film grows exponentially each day. If I'm even a fraction as annoying as the rabid fans of various shows I've put up with over the years (Hairspray, Thoroughly Modern Millie, Wicked, Brooklyn, Spring Awakening, Hamilton, Dear Evan Hansen, Follies, Gypsy, anything Sondheim, etc.), then just consider this MY TURN. I've been a massive ABBA fan fear nearly 40 years now and I will relish this the way I did seeing the original London cast of Mamma Mia shortly after it opened on my first trip to the UK.

I really hope Donna is not dead and Meryl does not only appear in flashbacks. and I really hope the movie does not focus on the young Donna and company. I just wanna see more Meryl, Christine and Julie!!!! AND CHER
