The 43-year-old "The Age of Innocence" star went on to express her enthusiasm for the project.
"It looks like it's really happening," she told MTV. "I'm so thrilled for Michael [Keaton] with everything, it couldn't have happened to a greater guy, and 'Birdman' was so brilliant, and I loved him, and I would be so … I'm really, really excited."
Other than Ryder, actor Keaton and helmer Burton were also reported to have confirmed the possibility of having the sequel with the latter saying that the title is in fact already "closer than ever."
Keaton said he'll be "more than interested" to get back on board if Burton will be there behind the camera.
