Dominic Cooper, who will reprise his role as Sophie's partner, Skye, told Digital Spy: "I thought it was going to resurface much more quickly than this, but what's great is that they've waited. They haven't just immediately thrown another one out there on the back of the success of the last one. They've waited for a script to come along that makes sense and is fun and is gonna be as exciting for fans of the original, and that's really important."
