Best known for his roles in The King's Speech, Bridget Jones' Diary, Love Actually and of course Mamma Mia, amongst dozens of other characters - Colin Firth is one of the most successful and renowned British actors of the past few years.
His most recent film, The Secret Garden, a retelling of the children's classic, saw him team up once again with Dame Julie Walters. The last time this talented acting duo worked together was on Mamma Mia 2 - so of course thoughts turned to a third movie for the musical ABBA film franchise.
Julie recently retired from acting, following a battle with stage three bowel cancer, which she was diagnosed with in 2018. The 70-year-old actress believes it was the stress of her acting career which caused the condition, though also revealed there was one role she'd be willing to return to.
“I don’t want to work again,” she said. “Unless it’s another Mamma Mia.”
And it sounds like Colin Firth is also up for a third Mamma Mia movie.
"We can always dream," he said.
"The likelihood of that I can't comment on, you know, I suppose there are more songs, or why not use them all again?"
"I'm sure that you won't find anybody that wouldn't be keen to show up for it."
The Secret Garden is in cinemas now and also available on demand via Sky Cinema. Set in beautiful locations across the UK, including the North Yorkshire moors, North Wales and Cornwall, it looks to be a fantastic escape for all of us from a very strange year indeed.
Colin's character, Mary's sombre uncle Lord Archibald Craven - owner of the secret garden, spends most of his screen-time inside.
"The only bit where I'm outside really is towards the end when I go off looking for Colin [his son in the film]," reveals Colin. "It may not have been much screen-time, but I walk through the forest of Dean, bits of North Wales and half of Yorkshire in order to complete that little walk!"
Originally scheduled to be released in April, as with so many things this year, the date was pushed back due to lockdown and the coronavirus pandemic.
While the lush locations provide the perfect escapism for those feeling trapped in their homes, Colin adds, "I think there's a real longing now to get out there, whether it's to connect with nature or each other, and I think maybe there's a bit of a waking up that says screens don't really do it.
"So perhaps [the film's] going to have a different resonance now than it might have done a year ago."
