In an interview with AwardsWatch, Ayo Edibiri discussed her rapid success over the past year. When asked about Mescal's suggestion of them teaming up for a romantic comedy, she replied, "Paul and I have talked about it since, because I told Paul he is very chaotic."

“Honestly, he’s one of my favorite actors to watch, period. I actually mentioned, 'So, is someone writing a script for us now, or what?' That’s my answer, if somebody writes us a good script. I think he’s so brilliant, and I honestly would also really enjoy seeing him try his hand at comedy.”

She also mentioned that it should have a vibe similar to "About Time," with a strong emotional core to showcase his acting abilities, but also incorporate comedy and be innovative.

The interviewer expressed their enthusiasm for the idea, to which she responded, "I love it too! That's why I came up with it."

The film About Time combines romance and science fiction, featuring Domhnall Gleeson as a young man who uses time travel to alter events involving his love interest, played by Rachel McAdams. The potential collaboration of these two up-and-coming actors in a romantic comedy is eagerly anticipated by their dedicated fan base.
