Of course, spoiler alert — it doesn’t end well for Jules, with Michael choosing Kimmy in the end. But the richness of the characters and the dynamics between them means there’s plenty of material to explore for a sequel, as Roberts toldAndy Cohen, 55.
“There’s so many people in it,” she said, noting she’d want “to see what they’re doing and how Kimmy and Michael’s marriage is going…”
Roberts isn’t the only star of the iconic movie who has dreamed about a sequel.
While appearing onThe Talkin November 2018, Mulroney said he wouldn’t be opposed to revisiting his onscreen character.
“I’m certainly not in the decision-making process,” said Mulroney — who was working with Roberts on Amazon Video’s thrillerHomecomingat the time.
“I’ve been clear from the beginning, I’ve been clear from 1997 that I’m ready for a sequel. So, I’m on record," he said.
Thecast reunited in 2019forEntertainment Weekly’s romantic comedy issue, reminiscing about filming and imagining where their characters would be now. Roberts said wedding saboteur Jules would probably be a marriage counselor.
“Those who can’t, teach,” she joked.

Looking back on the success of the film and its legacy ahead of its 25th anniversary in 2002, Roberts reflected on the magic between herself, Mulroney, Diaz and Everett.
“We really got lucky coming together,” said Roberts, in an interview withE!Daily Pop. “None of us knew each other before we made the movie, and we just had a really great chemistry. It just worked. I mean, we all really liked each other. Dermot and I are still really great friends — we talk all the time, And I think that that is a testament to the beautiful time that we all had making this film together.”
