Speaking to Empire, the actress confirmed that despite original screenwriter Dan Waters and director Michael Lehman's refusal to comment on the subject, plans are being made for a follow-up.
"Whatever you hear, there is a sequel in the works. I swear to God," Ryder said. "But for some reason Dan and Michael don't want to talk about it. I've been wanting to do a sequel forever."
Heathers centres on Veronica, a high-schooler who is part of a clique headed by three girls named Heather. Veronica soon finds herself led astray from the group by Christian Slater's rebellious new student J.D.
Ryder added that a storyline has been decided on for the new Heathers, which will see Slater "come back as a kind of Obi-Wan character".
