Looking at the success of Anyone But You, which has made over $1oo million at the worldwide box office to date, Powell said: "For me, Anyone But You was such a treat to see audiences dance out of the theater and feel so happy after watching a movie.

Both Top Gun movies can currently be streamed on Sky Go, NOW, and Paramount+ in the UK.
