Amanda Seyfried is opening up about the explosion of sequel movies in Hollywood.
The 39-year-old actress called out Hollywood’s addiction to sequels in an interview with Rachel Brosnahan for Interview Magazine, even though she is aware that she’s part of the problem as the star of sequels such as Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again and Ted 2. She is also working on a sequel to Jennifer’s Body!
“What’s our Barbenheimer between Fantastic Four, Jurassic Park, and Superman?” Rachel asked. “The people need you. Supertastic Park?”

“It’s Fantastic Super-park. It’s Four Superparks. Four Dinosaurs. Four Super Dinosaurs. I don’t know!” Amanda responded.
“I will say, there’s a little bit of fatigue with sequels. I want original content. I think it’s really scary and brave to do it. It’s not scary and not very brave to do sequels. It’s just for money and it’s frustrating. Then again, I’d do Mamma Mia 3 in a heartbeat,” she added, poking fun at herself.
“Yeah, I’d come back. We had a great time. There’s also so many people in this cast who I didn’t get to work with,” Rachel acknowledged of Superman.
“I don’t know why people say yes only to then turn around and complain about it,” she added about actors joining superhero movies and then complaining about them after a few sequels. “Look, I don’t want to s–t on other actors, but there was a minute where it was cool to not like superhero movies and to look back on projects like this and pooh-pooh them. Do it or don’t do it, and then stand by it.”
