Glen Powell is being honored!

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Glen Powell remained the king of grassroots publicity at an Austin, Texas, screening of his new Netflix movie, Richard Linklater’s “Hit Man.” The leading man hit the red carpet at the event accompanied by his family, but his mother and father decided to troll their son with signs directed at the press line that read: “Stop trying to make Glen Powell happen” and “It’s never gonna happen.” It appears Powell’s parents have been paying attention to all the press attention their son has been getting over the last few years. Every time Powell appears in a movie, be it Netflix’s “Set It Up” or Tom Cruise’s blockbuster “Top: Gun Maverick” or Sony’s rom-com “Anyone But You” with Sydney Sweeney, the press can’t help but say he’s got bona fide star power and is the next big thing.

Opening with an introduction from Powell, the trailer goes inside the Warrior Foundation Freedom Station 1 in San Diego, Calif., a housing and support facility for those receiving care from The Blue Angels Foundation.

It’s undeniable that Glen Powell’s star is on the rise in Hollywood, thanks to his standout performances in “Top Gun: Maverick” and Richard Linklater’s intriguing romantic crime pic “Hit Man.” Powell’s indisputable talent and innate charisma have not gone unnoticed, and director J.J. Abrams (known for his work on “Star Trek” and “Star Wars”) is reportedly considering him for his next feature film.

Angelique Jackson Glen Powell, Anthony Mackie and Academy Award winner Laura Dern have signed on to star in “Monsanto,” the latest film from writer-director John Lee Hancock (“The Blind Side,” “Saving Mr. Banks”). The film follows the true story of young, untried attorney Brent Wisner (Powell), who in 2019 took on a seemingly insurmountable case against the giant U.S.

“Twister” is one of the best (if not the best) disaster movies of all time. And a large part of why the film has endured the test of time is the incredible cast and the characters they brought to life.

Following 118 days on strike, SAG-AFTRA secured a deal with the studios that was worth over $1B that it said had ““unprecedented provisions”.
