The Story Will Have a “Enemies to Lovers” Subplot
The title alludes to the movie being about “two people who hate each other,” as Sweeney and Powell disclosed at CinemaCon.
Powell said to the crowd, “Sydney plays a character [who is] a real nightmare,” and Sweeney shot back, calling Powell’s role an “asshole.” What better location for a nightmare and an asshole than on the opposite side of the globe in the most romantic scenario imaginable? Asked Sweeney.
Despite the Genre, “Anyone but You” is R-rated
While PG-13 is frequently associated with romantic comedies, “Anyone But You” is being teased as racier than most of the genre’s offerings. Screen Rant discovered that the clips showed “a lot of nudity” from both Sweeney and Powell’s characters throughout after seeing a small taste of the movie.
The actors’ chemistry shone through at CinemaCon as they engaged in flirtatious banter in front of the audience. Powell made light of his and Sweeney’s attendance by joking that they didn’t mind going because they “love seeing ourselves on the big screen.” The “Maverick” star’s moniker, which Sweeney then said, “Oh, please, Top Gun,” to which he retorted, “I love when she calls me that.”
After clips from their interviews at CinemaCon started making the rounds on social media, speculation about the stars’ relationship’s depth erupted on Twitter and TikTok. Despite the gossip, Sweeney and Powell were both said to be in committed relationships at the time of the convention, with Sweeney having recently gotten engaged to Jonathan Davino.
