The Oscar winner sat down with Andy Cohen on 'Watch What Happens Live' and explained by she'd like to revisit 'My Best Friend's Wedding.'

Julia Roberts has dazzled moviegoers with her illustrious career in movies spanning all genres, including rom-coms, thrillers, dramas, and biopics.

While many of her works won critical acclaim and prestigious accolades, not all of her movies warrant a sequel.


That is, except for one film.

On Thursday, the Academy Award winner stopped by Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen to promote her latest film, Leave the World Behind, and revealed there was one movie from her extensive credits that she wouldn't mind reprising.

Cohen read a viewer's question asking Roberts which of her movies she would love to do a sequel for.

"Is there one in your mind that you feel like?" asked Cohen.

It didn't take much pondering for Roberts to respond.

After expressing how impressed she was by the question she'd never been asked before, Roberts replied:

"I think maybe 'My Best Friend's Wedding.'"

My Best Friend's Wedding, released in 1997, is a fan-favorite that hits all the feels and still engages viewers upon repeat viewings.

When Cohen was surprised by Roberts' response, she explained:

"Because there are so many people in it, and to see what they’re doing and how Kimmy and Michael’s marriage is going.”

Fans were on board with her choice.



A handful thought her other films deserved a sequel.



With so many great movies she's done, it's hard to just pick one.

My Best Friend's Wedding starred Roberts as food critic Julianne "Jules" Potter, who realizes she's still in love with her longtime best friend Michael O'Neal (Dermot Mulroney) after he tells her he's getting married in four days to a young college student named Kimmy Wallace (Cameron Diaz).

Calamity ensues when Julianne attempts to sabotage the impending marriage to win his affection for her instead.

MBFW was also ahead of its time with its LGBTQ+ representation in a commercial Hollywood production.

Rupert Everett's gay character George Downes—who finds himself pretending to be Jules' fiancé at her request to make Michael jealous—brought visibility and normalized interactions and relationships with LGBTQ+ people.

Here's a trailer for MBFW.

In a follow-up question, a viewer asked Roberts who the character Michael should have married. "Jules or Kimmy?"

Roberts replied:

“I mean, of course, Jules. But he married Kimmy."

It didn't take long for her co-star Dermot Mulroney, who played the object of her affection in MBFW, to respond.

"Yeah, no, I'm in!" Mulroney told Entertainment Tonight about a prospect for a sequel after hearing about Roberts' interest in doing one.

The 60-year-old said on Monday at the premiere of his new film, Anyone But You:

"I'm thrilled to hear Julia's finally, you know, coming to her senses."

He also said of Roberts:

"You know I would love to work with her any day of the week, month or year."

Now that we know both Julia and Dermot are both interested in a reunion, we have to ask: Cameron and Rupert, are you in too?

Fingers crossed!
