Sydney Sweeney Teases Exciting Update on Anyone But You 2!

by

The sequel to “Anyone But You,” released in 2023, has received an update. This movie, originally directed by Will Gluck, is a contemporary retelling of Shakespeare’s “Much Ado About Nothing.” It centers around former flames Bea (Sydney Sweeney) and Ben (Glen Powell), who find themselves in a peculiar situation as they pretend to be back together at a destination wedding. The first installment of “Anyone But You” had a rocky start, opening at No. 4 over the Christmas weekend with earnings of $6 million against its production budget of $25 million. However, it eventually gained traction and accumulated a staggering total of $220 million globally.

In the most recent issue of Empire magazine, there was an interview with Sydney Sweeney. She was calling from Barcelona, taking a breather during the filming of Euphoria season 3. During this chat, she discussed the progress on Anyone But You 2, which hasn’t been formally given the go-ahead yet. Sweeney, who was an executive producer in the original movie, hinted that it wasn’t a definite ‘no’, but also admitted she couldn’t provide a definitive answer. She playfully suggested fans to “stay tuned” for updates on this project. You can read her exact words below:

Well, I guess I can only tell you later on. It’s neither a definite no nor a definite yes. Instead, I must admit, I don’t currently possess an answer to give you right now.

What This Means For Anyone But You 2

This Could Be A Good Sign For The Sequel

As a passionate movie enthusiast, I can’t help but get excited about the potential of “Anyone But You 2” coming to life! Although Sweeney hasn’t explicitly confirmed it yet, his lack of a firm ‘no’ suggests that discussions about a sequel might still be happening behind the scenes. The first film’s impressive box office performance certainly makes a strong case for a follow-up. However, one challenge could be coordinating the busy schedules of our beloved leads, as they are both involved in numerous upcoming projects such as “Euphoria”, “Echo Valley”, “The Housemaid”, and even a potential remake of “Barbarella”.

Since the release of Anyone But You, Glen Powell has only been in one movie so far – Twisters in 2024. However, this film was a success, along with his 2023 romantic comedy and Top Gun: Maverick from 2022. This string of hits has made him highly sought after in Hollywood, much like Sweeney. He is associated with several upcoming projects, including Edgar Wright’s adaptation of Stephen King’s The Running Man and the Hulu comedy series Chad Powers.

Our Take On The Anyone But You 2 Update

The Movie Could Be Something Special

If “Anyone But You 2” is made, it could potentially carve a distinctive niche within the romantic comedy genre. Unlike most rom-coms that typically conclude with “happily ever after,” sequels exploring the same couple and their evolving relationship are rare finds. While films such as “Bridget Jones’s Diary” and “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before” have had multiple sequels, a return of Ben and Bea could set itself apart by focusing on the middle phase of their relationship rather than the initial stages.
