Amanda Seyfried has shot down rumors she and Meryl Streep will be reuniting for a Mamma Mia! sequel.

The singing star says although she had a fantastic time filming the first Abba movie she doubts there is room for a second.

“I don’t think those rumors are correct,” she said. “I don’t think it’s accurate. Because, you know, I don’t see the point in trying to top something. I mean, maybe if — if they had a really good idea for a story, but I don’t think they would do it to top the first one.

“I mean, it’s a good movie. It’s an original piece. It’s something that was really popular on Broadway. It’s a great soundtrack. I mean, it’s a good, family-friendly movie. And every two-year-old sings Abba. But a second one may be too much.”

Mamma Mia! — the stage-to-film adaptation of the 1999 West End musical of the same name — has grossed over $600m since its release in 2008.

Seyfried, 23, recently revealed that she can’t take a compliment.

“I just can’t take a compliment,” she said in March this year. “But I’m working on it. That and my posture. But it’s so difficult. I just have to remember to keep my boobs up.

“Girls don’t always do that – well I don’t but I guess we’ve got to show them off. It’s just a confidence thing.”
