Once again becoming the talk of Tinseltown, the super hot duo made reported headlines. But thankfully, this time it’s not about their alleged romance.
Despite constantly sparking tabloid-laden romance rumors following the release of Anyone But You, this time Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell got everyone talking about their potential reunion. According to Daniel Richtman, Sweeney and Powell are reportedly set to collaborate in the remake of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s 1987 classic, The Running Man.
Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell Debunked Real-life Romance Rumors
Initially sharing the screen with Sydney Sweeney in Anyone But You, after coming out of the blockbuster hit Top Gun: Maverick, Glen Powell and his co-star left fans buzzing about their alleged romance. Given their raunchy onscreen chemistry, Powell and Sweeney became the hot alleged couple of Hollywood, whom fans were constantly shipping in real life.
Unfortunately, shattering fans’ expectations and dousing their curiosity, Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell came clean about their offscreen relationship. Debunking any and all rumors about their alleged romance, Sweeney told the L.A. Times that she was the one behind sparking affair rumors, which was apparently a marketing strategy.
I was on every call. I was in text group chats. I was probably keeping everybody over at Sony marketing and distribution awake at night because I couldn’t stop with ideas. I wanted to make sure that we were actively having a conversation with the audience as we were promoting this film because, at the end of the day, they’re the ones who created the entire narrative.
Further, during Sydney Sweeney’s appearance on SNL, the actress addressed the “craziest rumor” in her monologue and stated that it’s “obviously not true”. Informing fans about her real-life relationship with her fiancé Jonathan Davino, who produced Anyone But You, the Euphoria actress cleared the air. Saying that Davino was ever-present on set, Sweeney noted that any backstage shenanigans with Glen Powell were unlikely.
The Anyone But You Co-Stars Made Hotter Headlines About Potential Reunion
Now that it turns out that Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell’s affair rumors were hotter than their summer blockbuster but totally fake, the Hollywood rumor mill began spinning anew. This time focusing on something other than their chemistry, Tinseltown churned out a new and exciting possibility of Sweeney and Powell’s reunion.
After Edgar Wright officially announced his works on the remake of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s 1987 action flick, The Running Man, starring Glen Powell, at CinemaCon in 2024, industry scooper Daniel Richtman sparked rumors about Sydney Sweeney reportedly joining in. Corroborated by World of Reel, it was alleged that Sweeney and Powell might be teaming up again.
Although nothing concrete, Sydney Sweeney who is already set to appear in the Barbarella remake, potentially helmed by Edgar Wright, is said to be eyed to join Paramount’s project. Meanwhile, it’s worth noting that these rumors coming in courtesy of Daniel Richtman, are yet to be confirmed by official sources.
Despite the lack of official confirmation, Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell’s fans got no chill. Thrilled about the prospect of Sweeney’s reunion with Powell, fans took to X to express their excitement. Claiming that since Anyone But You became a surprise hit, because of their onscreen chemistry, now everyone in Hollywood is willing to utilize that very bond.
While we’re all for a good sequel to the drama that’s been unfolding, let’s not jump to conclusions just yet. Because, despite fans’ eagerness, the casting process is a waiting game that requires confirmation.
