Cher, along with most of the stars of the first film, which made £466m at the box office a decade ago, gathered together in London on Saturday, ahead of the 20 July release of the follow-up musical.
“I was terrified when I first arrived on set,” Cher told her co-stars. “partly because everyone had been working together already, and partly because my character wasn’t very liked.”
The singing superstar appears in the film in a blond wig as a reluctant “mean grandmother”, Ruby, chiefly to sing a version of Fernando with Andy Garcia. “In America we knew the Abba biggest hits. But when I heard Fernando, I heard a different thing. I heard the acting of it. I didn’t realise how complicated Abba songs are,” she said.
Cher, 72, is in fact only three years older than Meryl Streep, her on-screen daughter Donna.
The singer said her confidence on location was boosted by the discovery that Streep was watching her perform from behind a piece of scenery and approved.
Benny Andersson of Abba said he had waited to find the right songs to drive forward a new story, although three are reprised: Dancing Queen, Mamma Mia and I Have a Dream.
Amanda Seyfried returns in the role of Sophie, Donna’s daughter. She said: “Singing the song My Love, My Life was the most emotional thing for me, and my favourite moment.”
Lily James is the star of the new film. She plays the young Donna in the backstory that forms much of the plot of Here We Go Again.
