Dermot Mulroney said he is down for a My Best Friend’s Wedding sequel with Julia Roberts.
While speaking with The Hollywood Reporter at Monday’s Anyone But You premiere in New York, the actor said he was “thrilled” to hear his former co-star was also open to reprising her role from the 1997 rom-com.
Roberts recently said on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen that My Best Friend’s Wedding was one of the films from her career that she would like to see receive a potential sequel, “because there’s so many people in it, and to see what they’re doing and how Kimmy (Cameron Diaz) and Michael’s (Mulroney) marriage is going.”

Though Mulroney admitted that he hadn’t “touched base with Julia yet to get to the bottom of it,” he has “always said yes” to a follow-up movie.
“Maybe it’s time. I sure hope so,” he added. “That movie brought so much joy. It would be amazing to re-up on that.”
The beloved movie, directed by P.J. Hogan, follows a woman, Julianne (Roberts), who realizes she’s in love with her long-time friend, Michael, who just got engaged, so she sets out to win his heart, only days before the wedding.
During an interview on CBS Mornings Tuesday, the Leave the World Behind star also revealed where she thinks the characters from My Best Friend’s Wedding would be today.
“[Michael’s] married and faithful to his wife,” Roberts said. “And George (Rupert Everett) and Julianne start a do-it-yourself show on HGTV and become wildly famous.”
Though a sequel hasn’t been confirmed yet, My Best Friend’s Wedding is currently streaming on Netflix.
