Who is involved in My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3?
The highly anticipated third film in the series is written and directed by Nia Vardalos, who wrote and starred in both original films. Vardalos returns to star in the third film, alongside a bevy of other returning stars from the original films, including John Corbett, Louis Mandylor, Elena Kampouris, Maria Vacratsis, Andrea Martin, Elias Kavacas, Gia Carides, Joey Fatone and Melina Kotselou.
Originally beginning in 2002 with its first film, My Big Fat Greek Wedding told the story of a middle-class Greek American woman who fell in love with a White Anglo-Saxon Protestant man. The film was a smash hit, earning more than $368 million at the box office and being nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay.
A sequel was made in 2014, which saw the family dealing with the recession of the mid-2010s, and was a box office success, but was not reviewed as highly as the first.
