Since starting his career with guest roles on television and small roles in films, Glen Powell has come a long way in solidifying his place in the film industry. After his breakout performance in Top Gun: Maverick—the second highest-grossing film in the world in 2022, Powell has become one of the most sought-after actors in Hollywood, both by fans and producers. While young actors find it difficult to nab roles in the highly competitive cinematic world, Powell has emerged as one of the buzziest up-and-coming actors in the business, with a seemingly endless lineup of projects.
Glen Powell’s New Releases
Glen Powell is a rising star in Hollywood. His latest and upcoming projects are proof of that. His reign began in 2023 with the release of the romantic comedy film Anyone But You. With this successful start, the actor seemed unstoppable. He went on to appear in some leading roles in the upcoming anticipated films. In the first half of 2024 alone, Powell has three movies slated to release, including Hit Man, Twisters, and The Blue Angels.
While 2024 is a year full of commitments with various projects for Powell, the coming years also hold a lot in store for the actor. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Powell has recently reunited with Abrams for the director’s next major film project. Although many details surrounding the film have been kept under wraps for now, fans have speculated that another action movie is in the works for Powell, given Abrams’ track record.
Powell is also set to collaborate with filmmaker John Lee Hancock for Monsanto. It’s a legal drama that follows a court case in which bright, young lawyer Brent Wisner, played by Powell, opposes a major U.S. chemical manufacturer. The film also stars Laura Dern and Anthony Mackie alongside Powell.
Other projects where fans will get to witness his acting chops of Powell include Edgar Wright’s The Running Man. It is a reboot of a 1987 movie based on the popular Stephen King novel of the same name. The premise of the film follows a TV competition where contestants must flee killers on foot with the promise of massive cash prizes. The Running Man will come as a breath of fresh air, as this movie will mark Powell’s first foray into the horror and thriller genres.
With all these projects lined up, the upcoming years will be pivotal for Powell to establish himself firmly in the industry and solidify his fanbase.
