Rumors are swirling about a potential reunion on the big screen for Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell, the dynamic duo from the hit rom-com 'Anyone But You.' During a recent interview with E! News, Sweeney hinted that their onscreen partnership may not be over just yet.
When asked about the possibility of working together again, Sweeney coyly replied, 'I mean, maybe.' She went on to tease that she was in communication with Powell and they were discussing potential projects. While she didn't divulge any specifics, she left the door open for a movie reunion, saying, 'You never know, you'll have to wait and see.'
This cryptic answer got fans excited, and Powell further fueled the speculation by responding to E! News' Instagram post about Sweeney's remarks. He left a comment with emojis that suggested there might be more to come, including a zipped mouth, a red heart, praying hands, and the sunglass face.
'Anyone But You' is loosely based on William Shakespeare's 'Much Ado About Nothing.' The film follows the story of Bea (played by Sweeney) and Ben (played by Powell), who have a falling out after a one-night stand. Fate brings them back together at a wedding in Australia, where they decide to pretend to be a couple to avoid their exes. As expected, their sham relationship leads to real emotions, delivering all the romance and charm that fans love in a rom-com.
Since its release in December 2023, 'Anyone But You' has been a massive success at the box office, grossing $64 million domestically and $100 million worldwide within just one month. It has become the most successful R-rated rom-com since 'Bridget Jones' Baby' in 2016.
Both Sweeney and Powell expressed their gratitude for the film's success and the support from fans. Sweeney took to her Instagram Story to thank everyone for their love and shared her excitement that rom-coms are making a comeback. Powell also celebrated the film's achievement and praised Sweeney as a 'beautiful force' who led the cast with kindness and vision.
The chemistry between Sweeney and Powell on and off-screen has not gone unnoticed. During their press tour, they sparked romance rumors, although both have denied any romantic involvement. Powell described Sweeney as 'one of the most spectacular humans' he's ever met and expressed his admiration for her.
While Sweeney has been engaged to Jonathan Davino since 2022, and Powell was dating Gigi Paris during the filming of 'Anyone But You' (though they have since split), their undeniable connection and genuine friendship have captivated fans.
As fans eagerly await any news of a possible sequel or collaboration between Sweeney and Powell, it's clear that their onscreen chemistry and talent have left a lasting impression. Whether they reunite for another rom-com or explore a different genre, their fans will undoubtedly be eager to see what the future holds for this dynamic duo.
