Maris Racal and Anthony Jennings may be starring in a movie project together!

The two actors shared on social media some images from a meeting with director Jason Paul Laxamana; ABS-CBN Films head Kriz Gazmen and creative director Carmi Raymundo; and Star Cinema's AdProm head Mico del Rosario. The meeting was held in ABS-CBN's Star Creatives' office.

While they did not reveal what that meeting was for exactly, the presence of these seasoned film industry staples in the picture suggest they're working on a movie.

Director JP Laxamana also posted on social media, hinting at his collaboration with this new and unexpected team-up. In his caption, he coined possible love team names for Maris and Anthony, writing, 'SnoRene / MaTon ❤️' SnoRene merges their characters' names in the hit series Can't Buy Me Love, where Anthony is known as Snoop and Maris as Irene. MaTon, on the other hand, is obviously a combination of 'Ma' from Maris and 'Ton' from Anthony.

Netizens shared their thoughts on these love team names, suggesting other possible names like 'MariThony' and 'ThoMa.'

On Maris' Instagram post, Kriz Gazmen commented, 'Super happy ko! Finally!!! Hindi na lang tayo beso beso sa parties.' JP also commented, 'After 8 yrs!!!! Makakatrabaho na kita ulet .' JP and Maris previously worked together in the 2016 movie The Third Party, which starred Angel Locsin, Sam Milby, and Zanjoe Marudo.

Before their buzzworthy and trending pairing in Can't Buy Me Love, Maris, whose career was launched in 2014, starred in more recent series like Simula Sa Gitna, How to Move On in 30 Days, The Goodbye Girl, and The Kangks Show.

Anthony is an up-and-coming actor, who entered the entertainment industry in 2019; his projects so far include stints in the movie Hello, Love, Goodbye and TV series Make It With You; The House Arrest of Us; Tara, G!; A Family Affair; and The Iron Heart. His first starring role was via the digital film Love at First Stream.

Jason Paul Laxamana directed films like Pedro Penduko, Just a Stranger, Between Maybes, and 100 Tula Para Kay Stella.

Maris and Anthony also recently displayed their palpable chemistry in the music video of Darren Espanto's song 'Iyo.'
