Stars of the hit series ‘Normal People‘, Paul Mescal and Daisy Edgar-Jones, have expressed their enthusiasm for revisiting their iconic characters in a potential future project. The actors portrayed Connell and Marianne in the beloved coming-of-age romantic drama based on Sally Rooney‘s best-selling novel.

Glen Powell, who has been on a successful streak with hits like ‘Top Gun: Maverick‘, ‘Anyone But You‘, and ‘Hit Man‘, has found himself in numerous acclaimed projects. Daisy Edgar-Jones humorously mentioned, ‘I feel like I have a habit of starring with a lot of the men of the moment.’
