One of the standout romantic comedies from last year was Anyone But You. The movie starred Sydney Sweeney alongside Glen Powell in the loose adaptation of William Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing. The pair play two people who had hooked up once, but the encounter ended poorly. They run into each other when attending a mutual friend’s wedding, and they agree to act like they’re falling for each other. During their scheme, they eventually end up catching feelings for one another for real.
The movie was a massive hit, getting almost $200 million at the box office, and audiences loved it. Less than a year after the movie hit theaters, fans are hoping to see more from the on-screen couple, and they may be in luck! Sydney has hinted at the possibility of an Anyone But You sequel. Here are all the details you need to know about the possible movie getting made.
When Did ‘Anyone But You’ Come Out?
Anyone But You hit theaters across the United States on December 22, 2023. If an Anyone But You sequel gets made, it’s not clear when it will eventually hit theaters.
What Has Sydney Sweeney Said About a Sequel?
Nearly three months after the movie hit theaters, Sydney opened up about the possibility of a sequel during an appearance on The Tonight Show on Tuesday, February 27. Host Jimmy Fallon complimented her on Anyone But You‘s success, and he asked her about making a follow-up. “Maybe like a high 9 chance,” she said.
What Has Glen Powell Said?
While Glen hasn’t spoken about a sequel, he did reveal that he and Sydney definitely have plans to work together again in a February 2024 interview with Variety. He showed that he and the Euphoria star really clicked, and he was looking for their next project. “When you find somebody that you really jive with, Sydney is so easy to work with and so fun. We’re definitely trying to find the next thing,” he said.
Glen continued and spoke about Sydney’s speediness when reading scripts. “Please send us all the scripts you got. You know we’re here for it. It’s been really wonderful to read a lot,” he said. “We’re reading everything and just trying to see what makes sense, what we can turn into something that audiences are going to respond to.”
