In the last few years, "Euphoria" actor Sydney Sweeney and "Top Gun: Maverick" star Glen Powell have been met with plenty of critical acclaim thanks to their respective work, and they'll soon star in the buzzy rom-com "Anyone But You" together.

The film follows a couple who seemingly hate each other, but can't keep their hands off one another.

On Tuesday, Sweeney and Powell took to the stage at CinemaCon to briefly talk about the project, which resulted in what has been described as a "flirty" exchange between the two stars, according to Vulture and CNN.

Per People, Powell joked, "We love seeing ourselves on the big screen," before Sweeney sarcastically replied, "Oh please, Top Gun." Powell then joked: "I love it when she calls me that."

Sweeney also joked that she mistook Powell on set for one of his "Top Gun" costars.

"I thought he was Miles Teller until the fourth day of shooting," she said, adding: "And Glen plays a character who's a real asshole. His character is a real dickhead."

Powell added: "As you could probably guess, this movie's about two people that hate each other. Sydney plays a character [who is] a real nightmare. And what better place to put a nightmare and an asshole than on the other side of the world in the most romantic setting imaginable?"

While shooting "Anyone But You" in Australia, speculation about the stars' off-screen relationship has swirled online in recent weeks, despite them both being in relationships. Sweeney is engaged to restaurateur Jonathan Davino, while Powell is dating model Gigi Paris.

Over the weekend, a video of Powell and Sweeney on set went viral, with some Twitter users commenting on their apparent chemistry with one another.

 

And on Monday, it was reported Powell's girlfriend, Paris, had unfollowed Sweeney on Instagram after previously posting a supportive comment on her photo about working with Powell on the Sony movie. 

Representatives for neither Sweeney, Powell, nor Paris immediately responded to requests for comment.
