* ''Series/TheLordOfTheRingsTheRingsOfPower'': By the end of the first season, Galadriel and Halbrand appears to have formed a very deep bond with each other, the two even seeming to [[LoveConfession confess their feelings]] for each other following the Battle for the Southlands, though whether their sentiment is meant to be romantic or [[TrueCompanions platonic]] is left up in the air as they are swiftly interrupted. The constant ShipTease between the characters, {{Held Gaze}}s and setup of the scene seem to strongly indicate the former though.

* Tigress from ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda1'' has some ambiguous ShipTease with Po. Tigress is his favorite of the Furious Five and a lot of their interactions in the first film revolve around Tigress learning to respect Po. ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda2'' adds onto their relationship by having them hug more than once and having Tigress show more concern for him than the others. Despite this, there's nothing 100% concrete that implies they like one another as anything but close friends.

* ''Film/MissionImpossibleFilmSeries'': Ilsa Faust, introduced in ''Film/MissionImpossibleRogueNation'', rings a lot of bells of a classic love interest in regards of the series' protagonist Ethan Hunt, with both caring deeply for each other and risking their lifes and missions despite never stating their is something romantic or sexual between them. Ethan's best friend Luther even tells Ilsa in ''Film/MissionImpossibleFallout'' that she is one of the two women Ethan really cares about, the other being his ex-wife. When Ilsa [[spoiler:is killed by the movie's antagonist]] in ''Film/MissionImpossibleDeadReckoningPartOne'', Ethan's reaction is similar to [[spoiler:the loss of a love one]].

Our hero certainly spends a lot of time rescuing that [[SaveThePrincess princess]], so he must really care about her. And it's a safe bet that she really cares about him, so it's only natural to assume they're more than JustFriends, right? But wait… had anyone actually [[WordOfGod said]] that the two of them are together, or are you just assuming? Is the character denying the truth or stating it when he says "SheIsNotMyGirlfriend"? Is it NotWhatItLooksLike — or is it? We could ask questions all day.

* [[Characters/MarvelComicsMilesMorales Miles Morales]] and [[ComicBook/SpiderGwen Gwen Stacy]] in ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse''. By the end of the movie they have become friends with hints of a future romance between them. Additionally, advertising for the movie featured them going on a date together.''WesternAnimation/SpiderManAcrossTheSpiderVerse'' takes it further, giving the pair heavy romantic tension without outright confirming any mutual feelings.

* Zach and Magenta in ''Film/SkyHigh2005''. They're frequently together in scenes, both like to [[DeadpanSnarker snark]] at the rest of the cast, dance together at Homecoming (after snarking about how stupid school dances are), and he even [[LegFocus compliments her legs]]… [[RuleOfFunny while she's in guinea pig form]].

By the end of the movie they have become friends with hints of a future romance between them. Additionally, advertising for the movie featured them going on a date together, and the film's epilogue implies that they have found a way to contact each other across dimensions.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSuperMarioBrosMovie'': Mario and Peach, like in the games, have an amount of ShipTease between them. Their movie counterparts have completely different backstories and characterization for them, making their interactions different from how the games were, going from princess and bodyguard to two complete strangers meeting for the first time. Mario's relationship with Peach hints of the idea of a romantic interest but doesn't go anywhere (for now at least). Mario himself gets picked on by Donkey Kong for how badly he "flirts" with her, though Mario denies he was doing anything like that, not showing any particular romantic interest in Peach outside of seemingly [[AmazonChaser in awe of her prowess after seeing her complete her obstacle course]]. Peach herself never confirms or denies she has any sort of affection for Mario. Despite this, the two bond rather quickly and enjoy each other's company, and with them holding hands after they reunite at Bowser's crashed wedding, there is a strong possibility of them developing a romance in the future.
