The trailer for Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again! has leaked online, and while you would think Mamma Mia fans would be ecstatic at a preview of the upcoming film classic, they are having the exact opposite reaction.
SPOILERS AHEAD!
Mamma Mia 2 questions after watching the trailer: 1.why did they kill off Donna?
2. Why has Donna’s mother suddenly come back from the dead?
3. Why does some of the scenes look like a remake of the first one ?
4. Why is Sophie now part of the girl band with 60 year olds ?— katie❤️ (@Katiexlmx) December 17, 2017
If you watch the new trailer below, it appears that Meryl Streep’s character, Donna Sheridan, is dead and the majority of the film follows a young Donna (played by Lily James) in flashbacks.
Yes, the preview does feature a Cher cameo (she plays Ruby, Donna’s mother), but even that hasn’t stopped fans from taking to Twitter to voice their outrage at the movie killing off Donna of Donna and the Dynamos.

Scroll through below to see some of their best tweets, and hopefully once the movie is released this will all be one big misunderstanding and Donna will actually be alive and kicking. But for now it looks like she’s gone to the giant discotheque in the sky.
Wake me up when someone from the mamma mia 2 crew confirms the trailer was poorly made and Donna is obviously alive.

Ok, who do I speak to about cancelling 2018? Meryl Streep has died in Mamma Mia 2. Tell Kim Jong-un to press the button.

Mamma Mia 2 makes no sense to me. Donna is dead. Donna and Sam weren't together anymore. Donnas mum was dead in the first movie and now she's alive.
Judy Cramer wtf have you done?!?!

The Only way Judy Kramer would forgiven is the whole cast of Mamma Mia 2 is actually played by Meryl Streep in costume.

Can we call in Ridley Scott to fix this Mamma Mia 2 sequel ?

SOS already shedding tears over the potential loss of Donna Carmichael (maiden name Sheridan) in Mamma Mia 2

you: donna is dead in mamma mia 2
me, an intellectual: donna is not dead because she is immortal therefore she cannot die and she will live forever
— anna (@poereys) December 18, 2017
who knew the real movement of 2018 was gonna be the original mamma mia fangirls vs. the writers of mamma mia 2
— elly ❄️ (@quietbatpeople) December 17, 2017
Who's genius idea was it to make a mamma Mia 2 if meryl streep wasn't available and then kill her character I'm about to FLIP A TABLE
— sLeigh❄ (@ItsLovelyLeigh) December 17, 2017
if donna really dead in mamma mia 2 then 2018 is going to be even worse than 2017

Not to be dramatic but whoever decided to kill Donna off in Mamma Mia 2 has ruined Christmas

I don’t want to live in a planet where Meryl Streep isn’t in Mamma Mia 2.
— A.B.C. (@philbabe) December 18, 2017
I can’t even talk about this. Like what on earth did we do wrong to get a Mamma Mia 2 with Meryl as a ghost??? We have to wait 10 years to get a second movie to see Meryl shine but then she’s dead?? Have they thought about it that this will lose them so much money? Fy Judy Cramer
