Hollywood star Julia Roberts has been in talks about possibly starring in a sequel to My Best Friend’s Wedding.
The actress recently confirmed her involvement in the discussion stages with the makers, reports Variety.
She told Variety, “They’re talking to me”. The Luca Guadagnino-directed psychological thriller also stars Andrew Garfield, Ayo Edebiri, and Chloe Sevigny. Luca Guadagnino chimed in that he would direct Roberts in a My Best Friend’s Wedding sequel in a second.
News broke in July that a My Best Friend’s Wedding sequel was in early development, with Past Lives and Materialists filmmaker Celine Song attached to pen a screenplay for the project, though she was not in talks to direct.
As per Variety, the development news came shortly after Dermot Mulroney, who starred in the 1997 original alongside Roberts, teased to the New York Post that “there is talk of a sequel”.
My Best Friend’s Wedding starred Julia Roberts as food critic Julianne Potter, who discovers that her longtime friend Michael O’Neal (played by Mulroney), with whom she once made a vow to marry if they were still single at 28, is getting married.
Realizing that she’s in love with Michael, Julianne plans to sabotage the ceremony. Cameron Diaz and Rupert Everett also starred in the rom-com. The 1997 original earned $127 million in North America and ranked as the ninth-highest-grossing domestic release of that year.
The film also earned three Golden Globe nominations. On the horizon, Roberts stars in After the Hunt as Alma Olsson, a college professor who gets caught in the middle of a sexual abuse accusation involving one of her students and a colleague. The film premieres in theaters on October 10, 2025.
