In a recent interview with E! at the premiere of Madame Web, Sydney Sweeney shared some intriguing insights about the possibility of a sequel to the hit rom-com film 'Anyone But You.' The film, directed by Will Gluck, saw Sweeney and Glen Powell team up as Bea and Ben, two individuals feigning a romance to ease tensions at a wedding in Sydney, Australia. The movie proved to be a lucrative success, grossing over $172.3 million globally on a modest $25 million budget.
When asked about a potential sequel, Sweeney coyly hinted at ongoing discussions with Powell, stating, 'I can't actually reveal all of my secrets. But Glen and I—I mean I was talking to him this morning. We're talking about stuff. You never know, you'll have to wait and see.' Powell further stoked the flames of speculation with a cryptic response on E!'s Instagram post, using a mouth-shut emoji.
Despite the first film wrapping up neatly, it seems there is still room for exploration in a potential sequel. Relationships often come with their share of challenges and growth opportunities, hinting at a promising narrative arc for Bea and Ben to navigate in a follow-up. Additionally, the original film's mixed critical reception suggests that a sequel could offer a chance for the creative team to further develop the story with more depth and complexity.
Based loosely on William Shakespeare's 'Much Ado About Nothing,' 'Anyone But You' captivated audiences with its charming premise and engaging leads. The on-screen chemistry between Sweeney and Powell brought the characters to life, leading to the film's unexpected success at the box office and subsequent re-release for Valentine's Day, featuring bonus content and insights from the stars.
In light of the buzz surrounding a potential sequel and the creative possibilities it presents, fans of 'Anyone But You' eagerly await further news on the fate of Bea and Ben's relationship. With the foundation laid by the first film and the enthusiasm of the cast and crew, a continuation of this heartwarming and comedic story could offer audiences another delightful cinematic experience.
