Their latest film may have been titled Anyone But You, but Glen Powell seems to be telling Sydney Sweeney just the opposite message when it comes to upcoming projects.

While speaking with Variety at the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards on Saturday night (Feb. 24), Powell teased that he and Sweeney may have some future projects together, highlighting the importance of finding “somebody that you really jive with,” per The Daily Mail.

“Sydney is so easy to work with and so fun,” he said. “We’re definitely trying to find the next thing. Please send us all the scripts you got. You know we’re here for it.”

Noting that it’s “been really wonderful to read a lot” of prospective scripts, he also commended Sweeney for her speedy reading skills.

“Sydney reads everything, by the way, and in record time,” he added. “She’s the fastest reader I think I’ve ever met. It takes me a little longer, but 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.”

According to Variety, Anyone But You recently grossed $200 million at the box office worldwide. The outlet reported that this makes it the most recent R-rated film in the genre to do so since the release of Bridget Jones’ Baby in 2016.

Sweeney and Powell’s palpable on- and off-screen chemistry provided fans with plenty of hilarious stories while they promoted the film. However, said chemistry also spurred contentious relationship rumors.

Although the buzz seemingly aligned with Powell separating from his former girlfriend Gigi Paris, Sweeney was (and still is) engaged to Jonathan Davino. Powell deemed the rumors of his alleged romance with Sweeney “disorienting and unfair” in a Men’s Health profile last November,.

“But what I’m realizing now is that’s just a part of this gig now,” he added.

While Powell is set to star in Twisters — which he teased to Variety is “going to be a ride” — Sweeney is gearing up to host Saturday Night Live this upcoming weekend, alongside musical guest Kacey Musgraves.
