Mulroney has said before that he is ready to make a sequel to the rom-com.

“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, during an appearance onThe Talkin November 2018.

Last year, Roberts reflected onMy Best Friend’s Wedding’s legacy in an interview withE!Daily Pop. “We really got lucky coming together,” she shared at the time. “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.”
