Musical comedy romance sequel “Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again” boasts one of the most star-studded casts of the year. Here are some of my favorite roles/movies from each of the 11 main cast members:
Christine Baranski
“A Bad Moms Christmas” had plenty of problems, but Baranski’s “psycho mom” wasn’t one of them.
Pierce Brosnan
James Bond films are obvious choices. Let’s not forget he’s strong in comedy as well, like in “Mrs. Doubtfire”.
Cher
No brainer: “Moonstruck”
Dominic Cooper
Yes, I’m still a fan of “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter”.
Colin Firth
No question: his Oscar-winning role in “The King’s Speech”
Andy Garcia
He’s got a number of standout scenes with Diane Keaton in this summer’s surprisingly good “Book Club”.
Lily James
One of the most accomplished young actresses of today, James was a knockout as Cinderella and gave notable supporting performances in last year’s “Baby Driver” and “Darkest Hour”.
Amanda Seyfried
She charmed us in 2004’s “Mean Girls”, sung her heart out in 2012’s “Les Miserables” and shined in two A24 indies – “While We’re Young” (2015) and the recently-released religious drama “First Reformed”, co-starring Ethan Hawke.
Stellan Skarsgard
His work alongside the late Robin Williams in “Good Will Hunting” was one piece of an intricate and emotional puzzle.
Meryl Streep
Pretty much everything but “Hope Springs” and “August: Osage County”
Julie Walters
This British icon is still going strong, with “Brooklyn” and the delightful “Paddington” movies.
