With College Football now underway, Hulu has revealed the official trailer and key art for the Original series Chad Powers.

Hulu’s new six-episode comedy series starring Glen Powell will premiere on September 30th with two episodes. New episodes stream weekly on Tuesdays.

In the series, eight years after an unforgivable mistake nukes his promising college football career, hotshot quarterback Russ Holliday tries to resurrect his dreams by disguising himself as Chad Powers – a talented oddball who walks on to the struggling South Georgia Catfish.

Hulu’s half-hour comedy Chad Powers is co-created and executive-produced by Glen Powell and Michael Waldron. Eli Manning serves as executive producer along with Omaha Productions’ Peyton Manning,...

Sylvester Stallone has always been Hollywood’s tough guy, the man who redefined the action genre. However, in 1984, the world saw a different side of him thanks to the musical comedy, ‘Rhinestone.’ Given his reputation, his co-star Dolly Parton had doubts whether he would even be able to pull off the comedy genre. As it turns out, he proved her wrong almost immediately.

Parton and Stallone starred in Bob Clark’s ‘Rhinestone’, a film based on Larry Weiss’ hit song, ‘Rhinestone Cowboy.’ While the two got along quite well on set, there was a time when Parton wondered if comedy was really his cup of tea.

In an interview with Smooth Radio, Parton admitted that she stood corrected as Stallone made her laugh so hard that she couldn’t even get through her scenes without doubling over with laughter.

In her words,

I was really impressed with him, because I wondered myself,...

A new teaser for Hulu’s upcoming half-hour comedy Chad Powers debuted during game four of the NBA Finals. The new series starring Glen Powell will premiere on September 30 with two episodes. New episodes stream weekly on Tuesdays.

In the series, when bad behavior nukes hotshot Qb Russ Holliday’s college career, he disguises himself and walks onto a struggling Southern football team as the talented, affable Chad Powers.

The series stars Glen Powell as Russ Holliday/Chad Powers, Perry Mattfeld as Ricky, Quentin Plair as Coach Byrd, Wynn Everett as Tricia, Frankie A. Rodriguez as Danny, and Steve Zahn as Jake Hudson.

Based on the sketch produced by NFL Films and Omaha Productions that aired on ESPN+ as part of the Eli’s Places series, the comedy from 20th Television will stream on Hulu. Powell and Waldron co-wrote the pilot.

Powell and Michael Waldron are the co-creators and executive producers.

Sylvester Stallone has played some dodgy roles in his time. There's no doubt the man is a screen legend, but his remarkable career is punctuated by some of the most questionable on-screen appearances in the history of cinema. While he's not quite John Travolta, who has seven 0%-rated films on Rotten Tomatoes and has turned dodgy career choices into an art form, Stallone's filmography features some truly surprising developments.

For one thing, Sly nearly played Batman opposite Mark Hamill in a fan film. On another occasion, Stallone featured in a bizarre Bollywood movie. Then there's "Stop! Or my Mom will Shoot," which, even if you've never seen it, bears a title that speaks for itself.

But there is no more interesting an era in Stallone's show business career than his pre-"Rocky" years spent grinding out a living in New York City. The man famously jump-started his own career...

Selena Gomez has come a long way since she was just a young little girl of 10, who imagined playing with a T-rex dinosaur in the TV show Barney & Friends. She debuted in the acting industry with the show and later gained massive popularity after featuring in Disney Channel’s Wizards of Waverly Place. At the same time, she also excelled in the music industry, formed a band (The Scene), and started to release her songs.

Over the years, she has earned a lot of accolades, be it as an actress or a pop star. Recently, she was seen in the series Only Murders In The Building and the movie Emilia Perez. Sel also released an album with her fiancé, Benny Blanco, and is now filming the next season of Omitb. However, memories from her younger days continues to remain special.

Hulu’s half-hour comedy Chad Powers, from co-creators and executive producers Glen Powell and Michael Waldron, will premiere on September 30th. Eli Manning serves as executive producer along with Omaha Productions’ Peyton Manning, Jamie Horowitz, Ben Brown, and ESPN.

Waldron and Adam Fasullo are executive producing for Anomaly Pictures. Luvh Rakhe will executive produce, and Tony Yacenda will serve as director and executive producer.

The series stars Powell, who is also co-creating, co-writing, and executive producing under his production co-banner Barnstorm Productions.

At this point, Glen Powell feels like he's been famous forever thanks to a series of high-profile projects (that also happened to be major financial successes), but this native Texan only broke into the mainstream towards the end of the 2010s. So what was he doing before that? As a young actor trying to make it big in Hollywood, Powell showed up in "Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over" alongside Selena Gomez, in a tiny, blink-and-you'll-miss-it role in "The Dark Knight Rises" — which consists entirely of Tom Hardy's supervillain Bane slamming a young Powell's head into a computer keyboard — and, as it turns out, he also appeared on "NCIS."

In the procedural's 10th season, Powell plays Marine Corps Sergeant Evan Westcott in the two-part episode "Shell Shock," whose older brother, Captain Joe Westcott (Brad Beyer), watched as his friend was attacked (and may or may not have been personally involved...

Although Glen Powell has been acting for decades, it's really only over the past few years that he's become a Hollywood star. His screen presence and considerable charm have made him a popular figure in multiple different genres, from action romps to romantic comedies. Powell comes across as the thinking man's cowboy, with humor and intelligence hidden behind his brash all-American exterior. 

By 2025, Powell had fully arrived as the next big thing, taking home the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy for his charming work in "Hit Man." If that wasn't enough of a recommendation, Tom Cruise himself saw something special in the actor, creating the role of Hangman specifically for Powell in "Top Gun: Maverick." He's an actor whose best days are very much ahead of him, and we're excited to see what he does in the future. But for now, let's look back on his past,...

Months after the meme coin debacle that sent Hailey Welch into internet exile, the Hawk Tuah girl is back in the spotlight, and appears to be rubbing elbows with Hollywood superstar Glen Powell for his new Hulu series, Chad Powers. Welch rose to prominence last year thanks to a video interview that went viral, and she quickly capitalized on her fame by selling merchandise, appearing in public with a ton of celebrities, and starting her own podcast, Talk Tuah. Last December she was accused of performing a pump-and-dump scheme which saw her release a cryptocurrency meme coin that got as high as $500 million before it quickly fell in value, causing many to accuse her of insider trading.

Per TMZ, Welch was spotted on the set of Chad Powers, the new Hulu sports comedy series which stars Powell as Russ Holliday, a disgraced quarterback who disguises himself as the titular character...

Glen Powell picked up CinemaCon’s Star of the Year award Thursday night, and he dedicated a piece of his acceptance speech to sharing a story about one of his early jobs when he was, well, not the movie star he is today.

The gig came courtesy of Robert Rodriguez’s 2003 franchise effort, Spy Kids 3: Game Over, and it marked Powell’s first film role. The part was so small that he’s listed on IMDb as “Long-fingered boy.” But something happened on set that Powell has never forgotten.

“I don’t know if Cheech Marin is in the room,” Powell said as he scanned the crowd seated inside the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. “Hey, my boy Cheech.”

Marin happened to be seated next to his longtime creative partner Tommy Chong as they were on the honoree program as well. The duo picked up a career...

Every actor dreams of winning the most coveted award of all — the Academy Award — for their work. But there's one award they dread: the Golden Raspberry Awards, a.k.a. the Razzies. Some see it as unnecessarily cruel and mean-spirited, while others view it as a playful jab at a self-aggrandizing industry that sometimes deserves to be knocked down a peg, especially when the work isn't very well-made. Founded by UCLA film graduates John J.B. Wilson and Mo Murphy, the award inspires filmmakers and actors to "own their bad" (via the Razzies' official website)

But there's only one actor with the most Razzie nominations—12 wins and 40 nominations in all—and that (dis)honor belongs to Sylvester Stallone. Sylvester Stallone has "won" in many categories, including Worst Actor for "Rhinestone," "Rocky III," "Rambo: First Blood Part II," and "Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot"; Worst Supporting Actor for "Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over...

Glen Powell is set to star in ‘The Natural Order’.The forthcoming sci-fi thriller is centred on the quest for eternal life, with the project acquired by Universal Pictures – and Barry Jenkins, 45, is in discussions to direct and co-write the screenplay alongside Matthew Aldrich, 48, based on his unpublished book manuscript.This film marks the first venture for ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ star Glen’s production company, Barnstorm, established in partnership with producer Dan Cohen, 42.Deadline reported that producing alongside Glen, 36, and Dan are Adele Romanski, 41, and Mark Ceryak, 43 – representing Barry’s production company – with Jewerl Keats Ross, 46, also attached as a producer. Erik Baiers, 50, Universal's senior executive vice president of production development, will oversee the project for the studio.Barry Jenkins, acclaimed for his Oscar-winning screenplay for ‘Moonlight’ (2016), recently directed Disney’s ‘Mufasa: The Lion King’ from 2024, which has grossed more than $700million worldwide.

After a dismal 1990s that greatly diminished his stature as one of the most bankable movie stars in Hollywood, Sylvester Stallone kicked off the 2000s with a pair of box office disappointments in "Get Carter" and "Driven." Though the latter reunited him with his "Cliffhanger" director Renny Harlin, moviegoers had very little interest in a film about Cart racing. With his two most valuable franchises, "Rocky" and "Rambo," mothballed due to lack of commercial interest, his once reliable international popularity on the wane, and a finished movie ("D-Tox") gathering dust on the shelf due to horrid test screening scores, Stallone had to humble himself and make a movie that didn't lose tens of millions of dollars for its investors. This meant working small and not demanding a bank-breaking payday.

Stallone was lost, as you can tell from one look at the movies he made around this time. The direct-to-video flop "Avenging Angelo,...

Before Glen Powell was lighting up the big screen in Top Gun: Maverick and Twisters, he was stealing scenes in one of TV’s most outrageous comedy-horror series, Scream Queens. While the show may not have been a major mainstream hit, but its satire and absurd characters left a last mark. And no character was more absurdly entertaining than Powell’s Chad Radwell.

Seven years before he took flight as Hangman, Powell was perfecting his signature mix of arrogance, charm, and comedic timing in Ryan Murphy’s cult classic. And while Scream Queens may have faded from the spotlight, Chad Radwell remains one of the show’s most iconic creations.

All About Glen Powell’s Big Breaks Before The Dark Knight Rises & Top Gun Roles ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Before Glen Powell looted hearts as a smooth-talking pilot in Top Gun: Maverick or showed up in Gotham in The Dark Knight Rises, he was hustling in Hollywood—but not how you’d predict! Sure, now he’s all about big blockbusters, but his rise to fame was less “instant superstar” and more “slow burn with unexpected pit stops.”

He kicked things off with some blink-and-you’ll-miss-it gigs you probably forgot (or never noticed). But hey, every big star starts somewhere! Those early roles were just stepping stones toward becoming a Hollywood heavy-hitter for Powell. The Twisters star didn’t just waltz into Hollywood as the leading man—he put in the work. From tiny roles in family films to popping up in indie projects, he was grinding, slowly making a name for himself.

A remake of the 1998 sci-fi thriller The Faculty is in the works at Miramax, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.

Robert Rodriguez, who directed the original horror film written by Kevin Williamson (Scream) that starred Josh Hartnett, Elijah Wood and Shawn Hatosy, will produce the remake. Drew Hancock is on board to pen the screenplay for the updated version.

Hancock also wrote and directed Companion, a sci-fi thriller set for a release this weekend by Warner Bros. Pictures. The suspense pic stars Sophie Thatcher and Jack Quaid and portrays a weekend getaway that goes violently wrong.

The original The Faculty featured a news editor and film critic played by Wood seeing the murder of a nurse. After she seemingly lives again, he decides to investigate the bizarre happenings.

Rodriguez, a veteran director and showrunner, also produced the original film alongside Elizabeth Avellan. The Alita, Sin City and Desperado filmmaker produced Disney+...

Hot off the success of American Horror Story and Glee, the twisted minds of TV producers Brad Falchuk, Ryan Murphy, and Ian Brennan birthed a unique creation with the Fox series, Scream Queens, which featured a then mostly unknown Glen Powell. A mix of horror and black comedy with a dash of campy satire, Scream Queens ran for two seasons from 2015- 2016. It starred Emma Roberts as Chanel Oberlin, the It-girl of Wallace University and head of the campus’ biggest sorority, Kappa Kappa Tau. Also featured were Billie Lourd, Keke Palmer, Abigail Breslin, Nick Jonas, and Jamie Lee Curtis.

Roberts may have dazzled as Chanel, but Glen Powell was arguably an even bigger scene-stealer. Powell made his acting debut in 2003's Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over. From there, he continued to act steadily, notably playing astronaut John Glen in 2015's Hidden Figures. However, it was Powell's role as Hangman in...

Hulu has revealed the official teaser trailer for the half-hour comedy Chad Powers, which will premiere on the streaming service in the fall of 2025. The series comes from co-creators and executive producers Glen Powell and Michael Waldron.

Selena Gomez has been acting since she was a young child, having appeared on "Barney & Friends," but rocketed to teen stardom with her recurring role in the Disney Channel series "The Wizards of Waverly Place." She also enjoys a notable pop career, which she began in 2009 with her album "Kiss & Tell" when she was only 17. Not only has her music received several awards, but she has continued to work as an actress, having racked up multiple Emmy nominations for her work on the hit show "Only Murders in the Building." 

Meanwhile, Glen Powell has quickly emerged as one of Hollywood's most charming leading men, having recently appeared in the decent "Twisters," the giant hit "Anyone But You," the even more giant hit "Top Gun: Maverick," and the impressive comedy/thriller "Hit Man." Powell came to the public's attention in Richard Linklater's 2016 sports movie "Everybody Wants Some!!," but...

Glen Powell is the man of the hour in Hollywood, which is why some people may be surprised to hear the net worth of the supposed movie star. Austin, Texas-born Glen Powell has been working in movies and TV since he was 14 years old, with his first role coming in a small, but memorable, performance in Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over. His career remained steady for years, with small roles here and there in films like Fast Food Nation and in episodes of TV shows like Without a Trace and CSI: Miami.

It wasn't until Scream Queens that people began to take notice, and still, he was not a household name until six years later when he appeared in Top Gun: Maverick, hitching his name to one of the most successful movies of the decade. A break-up with Gigi Paris in 2023 after 4 years has not slowed him down and now,...

Glen Powell’s 2024, in brief: January, “Hit Man” celebrates its U.S. premiere at Sundance; February, “Anyone but You” crosses $200 million at box office; April, the actor is cast in Edgar Wright’s much-hyped “The Running Man”; May, Powell is inducted into the Texas Hall of Fame and tipped to star in J.J. Abrams’ next super-secret film; June, “Hit Man” arrives on Netflix; July, “Twisters” is released to critical acclaim and big box office bucks; August, filming on his Hulu TV series “Chad Powers” kicks off; November, “The Running Man” filming commences in London, Glen Powell lookalike contest takes place in Austin, Texas.

Those are just the highlights.

For Powell, this level of professional success has been both hard-won and long-gestating (his first gig: a small part at age 14 in Robert Rodriguez’s “Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over”), punctuated by star turns in smaller films (from “Everybody Wants Some!!...

As Glen Powell has become a bigger and bigger star, many have compared his rise to fame to that of movie megastar, Tom Cruise, yet Powell's recent career move proves that he can stand apart from his Top Gun co-star. Although Powell is best known for his performances in Top Gun: Maverick, Anyone but You, and Twisters, the actor's career first began way back in 2003 with the sequel, Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over. For many years, Powell went under the radar, taking on minor roles in increasingly popular movies until he finally entered the spotlight in the 2020s.

The connections between the careers of Powell and Cruise are minor, yet hold quite a lot of weight for some audiences. The comparisons likely began when the pair appeared together in Top Gun: Maverick, which is the movie that seriously pushed Powell into the limelight. From there, Powell's roles in...

Warning: Spoilers ahead for Emilia Prez.

Netflix's crime comedy musical Emilia Prez features Selena Gomez's career-best film performance as the unstoppable Jessi Del Monte. Directed by French filmmaker Jacques Audiard, the genre-blending film delivers innovative music numbers and choreography infused with a gut-wrenching story about unfulfilled desire and regret. The film is a loose adaptation of the 2018 novel coute by Boris Razon and is France's official entry for Best International Feature at the upcoming 97th Academy Awards, which will be held on March 2, 2025.

The combined talents of Zoe Saldaa, Karla Sofa Gascn, and Selena Gomez led the cast of Emilia Prez. Emilia Prez won the Jury Prize and the Best Actress Ensemble award at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, where it had its world premiere in May. Emilia Prez's soundtrack is one of the essential highlights of the film as well as the heart and soul of the ultimately tragic narrative.

Why Glen Powell Fans Think He was Robbed of People's Sexiest Man Alive 2024 Title - Main Image

Was Glen Powell robbed of People's 'Sexiest Man Alive 2024' title? Here's why fans think so.

The rising Hollywood star's fans have been keeping up with his career since Powell's popularity started to skyrocket over the last couple of years.

From Top Gun: Maverick to starring alongside Sydney Sweeney in Anyone But You, here's why fans are convinced Powell was robbed of the title he deserved.

People Hails John Krasinski as the 'Sexiest Man Alive' in 2024

People magazine announced its 'Sexiest Man Alive' for 2024 on a Tuesday night at The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. The man hailing this crowning title for 2024 is none other than The Office and A Quiet Place star John Krasinski.

Krasinski told People that his initial reaction to honoring the title was "just immediate blackout, actually. Zero thoughts.

Glen Powell is aptly one of the most sought-after actors in Hollywood today. While his debut came way back in Spy Kids in 2003, the 35-year-old has seen multiple successful roles come his way in the last few years. Now looking forward to the release of Twisters, Powell has appeared in movies such as Anyone But You and Top Gun: Maverick, and generally finds himself in high demand.

However, that did not seem true to the actor when during his years of struggle. Powell went to his fair share of failed auditions but has never been the kind of person who would take things negatively. The actor has been utterly professional right from the start, and spent years getting rejected for a plethora of major roles.

To break the norm, one of his agents even gave him a peculiar piece of advice.

Sylvester Stallone's ongoing role as Dwight Manfredi in Tulsa King is his funniest character since his 2021 superhero movie. Though Tulsa King sees Dwight building and maintaining a criminal empire as a mob boss, it also has more than its fair share of comedic moments. The cast of Tulsa King is extremely capable of telling good jokes, but one actor stands out among the rest: Sylvester Stallone. His ability to garner laughs and steal a comedic scene is really impressive and surprising, but his talent for comedies isn't completely unprecedented.

Stallone has done his fair share of comedies in the past, from kids movies like Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over to more mature comedies like Oscar. Neither of those films were particularly well received, though, and he mostly shied away from comedy throughout his career in favor of actioners like Rambo, Rocky, and The Expendables. That seems to have changed in recent years,...

Glen Powell's rise to stardom has been a long and steady journey, filled with hard work, determination, and a diverse range of roles that have slowly but surely earned him the spotlight he now commands. With standout roles in films like 2022’s ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ and ‘Devotion’, Powell has proven his versatility, seamlessly transitioning between charismatic heartthrob and emotionally complex characters. Despite a long career in supporting roles and smaller projects, his performances are now gaining critical acclaim and widespread attention. Powell's career has been years in the making and his recent successes highlight not just his talent, but his ability to captivate audiences, positioning him as one of the most promising leading men in the industry today.

Glen Powell has undeniably conquered Hollywood with his iconic roles in films such as Top Gun: Maverick and Twisters. Still, he had a humble beginning that many fans are probably unaware of. Before he became the nation’s newest heartthrob, he used to be a contestant in a teen reality show.

Fans may simply have forgotten that this Texas native starred in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises, or perhaps they didn’t catch that one scene with him because he played a random stockbroker who got his head smashed by Bane. This was way back in 2012.

Glen Powell Joined A Reality Show That Immediately Got Him Kicked Out

In 2003, actor Glen Powell joined the second season of Endurance, a reality television show somewhat similar to Survivor but with a teenage cast. The players will live in a remote location...

Selena Gomez recalls getting her first role in an R-rated movie. Gomez began her career as a child actor, acting in projects such as Barney & Friends and Spy Kids 3 when she was a pre-teen. When Gomez was 15, she had her breakout role playing Alex Russo on the hit Disney Channel series Wizards of Waverly Place. Wizards of Waverly Place ran for four seasons from 2007 to 2012, and will now be getting a revival show called Wizards Beyond Waverly Place.

Speaking in an interview with Vanity Fair, Gomez reflects on what it was like to be cast in Spring Breakers following her run on Wizards of Waverly Place.

The former Disney star explained that she "was so eager after Disney to have a release." Taking the part in Spring Breakers was her mother's idea, after she and Gomez had watched director Harmony Korine's movies together. Thinking back to her time working on Spring Breakers,...

Any actor starting out in the film industry goes through harsh times before crossing over to the other side. But not all actors get to go to the other side, only the boldest of bold go on to accomplish such a feat. For instance, it wasn’t until Sylvester Stallone boldly wrote his own film, Rocky, that he ascended to Hollywood legend status. And so it was for Glen Powell.

Glen Powell [in Hit Man | Credit: Netflix]Now the very definition of the classic Hollywood lead guy, when Powell first entered the world of showbiz, he faced an identity crisis, just like any other beginner. But his one bold move ended up winning the heart of Stallone, who landed him a crucial role in his $214 million movie, in the act helping him embrace his true self and giving his career a kickstart.

When Glen Powell’s Bold Move Helped Him Land a Crucial Sylvester...

Glen Powell was the hit of the summer. That winning smile, the Texas charm, the confidence mixed with dorkiness that permeated his characters in the blockbuster “Twisters,” screwball Netflix comedy “Hit Man” and traditional rom-com “Anyone but You.”

Hollywood’s no stranger to “it” stars of the moment, and each charts his or her own course that may or may not manifest the next Brad Pitt or Julia Roberts. But as the conversation around whether Powell is a “movie star” surged, the actor seized his in-demand status and took a different route: creating his own destiny.

As Glen Powell Summer was heating up, the actor was offered the lead in the next “Jurassic World” movie — a reboot to a franchise that’s made over $6 billion worldwide and that Chris Pratt carried over the last three movies.

He turned it down.

“It’s one of the things I’ve wanted to do my whole life,...

Glen Powell is thrilled to work on The Running Man with Edgar Wright, calling him a "bucket list" director. Powell revealed that he has been hoping to work with Wright since soon after he moved to L.A. Powell's work on The Running Man comes with a recent expansion in his roster of collaborations with notable directors.

Glen Powell has explained why The Running Man is a dream project. Ahead of the upcoming The Running Man, the star has a string of hits under his belt after having held a supporting role opposite Tom Cruise and Miles Teller in the 2022 legacy sequel Top Gun: Maverick, which became the fifth highest-grossing domestic movie of all time. He followed that by starring in the $220 million rom-com sleeper hit Anyone But You in 2023 and the 2024 smash Twisters, which has grossed $337.6 million so far, making it the ninth highest-grossing movie of the year worldwide.

Hulu has shared a first look at Glen Powell as Chad Powers in its upcoming comedy series, which has officially started production.

Glen Powell shared embarrassing reality TV show stint on Endurance with Stephen Colbert, who couldn't stop laughing. Fans surprised by Powell's failed experience, recalling Endurance as iconic despite its short-lived run on TV. Powell now balancing acting career with returning to University of Texas to complete degree.

We have seen this in the past, Stephen Colbert unable to keep a straight face after an interview reveal. It took place in 2023 after Sandra Bullock revealed the only autograph she ever asked for (Daniel Radcliffe). However, it happened again recently, as Glen Powell spilled the details on his failed reality TV show experience. Now it wasn't quite Survivor, but hardcore fans of Endurance will tell you it was even better.

Let's recap Powell's reveal and how Colbert reacted. Endurance was a big deal during the early 2000s. However, for Powell, it was all a forgettable experience given how short-lived it proved to be.

Powell's steady career path, prior roles, and solid foundation set the stage for his current success in the industry. Well-established collaborations and mentorships with industry veterans have played key roles in Powell's rise to stardom. Glen Powell's diverse range and involvement in producing and writing projects indicate a promising future with numerous upcoming films and shows.

Glen Powell is currently considered the second most bankable young actor in the business, just behind Timothe Chalamet, and its easy to see why. With recent hits like Anyone But You, Hit Man, and the blockbuster sequel Twisters under his belt, a Glenaissance has understandably developed across the globe, and audiences couldnt be more excited about it. With his charming demeanor and objectively good looks, Powells onscreen presence is captivating. That isnt to say his acting chops are lacking, either. With his recent role as Gary Johnson in Hit Man, Powell showcases...

Glen Powell's rise to A-list status from supporting roles makes him a potential leading man for Top Gun 3. Powell's popularity could overshadow Miles Teller's Rooster, causing a dilemma for the franchise. Top Gun 3 may need to balance the roles of Maverick, Rooster, and Hangman to continue the story effectively.

Although 2024 has been an incredible year for Glen Powell, this could ironically prove a problem for Top Gun 3. Glen Powell has been around a lot longer than cinemagoers might think. The actors earliest roles date back to hit parts in Spy Kids 3D: Game Over and Fast Food Nation between 2003 and 2006. Powell later rose to stardom with supporting roles in The Expendables 3 and Ride Along 2 alongside a scene-stealing turn in TVs Scream Queens. However, it was 2022s Top Gun sequel Top Gun: Maverick that introduced him to the A-list.

Although Powell lost out...

Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over premiered in 2003, taking advantage of the 3-D craze with young actor Glen Powell in a small role. Powell's career exploded post-Spy Kids, reaching A-list status after Top Gun: Maverick. His first film role was a confident performance. Despite initial setbacks on TV's Endurance, Powell's career ascended, showcasing his passion for acting in diverse roles.

Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over, the third film in Robert Rodriguez's kids' spy franchise, features a very young Glen Powell in a small role. The third installment in the Spy Kids movie franchise premiered in 2003, taking full advantage of the 3-D craze at the time. The film sees Juni (Daryl Sabara) traveling into the Tron-like virtual reality world of "Game Over" where he competes against and with other agents and players to beat the game and save his sister, Carmen (Alexa Vega), who has disappeared into the game.

Glen Powell isn’t the only movie star in his family.

The Anyone But You actor’s parents, Glen Powell Sr. and Cyndy Powell, have made cameos in nearly all of his films, continuing the tradition with his latest movie, Twisters.

Powell first drew attention to his parents’ involvement in his work with the rom-com sleeper hit Anyone But You, in which they played airline passengers sitting next to him while Sydney Sweeney’s character performed elaborate gymnastics over him.

This charming inclusion of his family has become a hallmark of Powell’s films.

Despite lacking any formal acting experience, Glen Sr., an executive coach, and Cyndy, a stay-at-home parent, have embraced the challenge.

Their on-screen appearances have become a beloved tradition. Powell’s parents are frequently mentioned in his interviews.

It’s been 21 years since Glen Powell first appeared on the Hollywood scene with his role in Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over.

At just 13, Powell made his acting debut in the popular film, a fact that has left many fans amazed as his star continues to rise in Hollywood.

In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Powell, now 35, reminisced about his first film experience.

“I will never forget that moment,” he shared. “I was 13. I shot my part, and then I hung out behind the camera.

Powell continued, “The entire crew had the most interesting jobs on the planet. You had endless friends on set.”

“And Spy Kids 3-D was arguably our Dune,” he added with a laugh.

In terms of rising stars in the industry, no one is shining brighter than Glen Powell, who has been tearing it up ever since his role in Top Gun: Maverick. Powell got his first movie gig with Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over, and after a stretch of struggling to receive roles, found his footing in 2014. The Texas native has since become one of the most recognizable young names in Hollywood as he continues to prove his acting prowess.

Glen Powell believes Hollywood's "dead" genres are opportunities for new filmmakers to shine. Twisters revives the disaster movie genre, facing unique challenges during production. Powell's career highlights shifting genres successfully, signaling broader opportunities in Hollywood.

As many cinephiles will agree, Glen Powell believes there is no problem that can't be solved with a great movie, and the actor believes the same applies to Hollywood itself. Powell, who currently stars in the disaster epic Twisters (alongside Daisy Edgar-Jones) has seen his career boom over the last few years. The actor, who got his break in Spy Kids 3: Game Over, has been collecting different genres like hot cakes. Last year, Powell led a romantic comedy (Anyone But You), the year before he starred in an action blockbuster (Top Gun: Maverick), and this year he appeared in an action/comedy (Hit Man), and now Twisters.

Glen Powell has risen through the ranks in Hollywood to become a leading star in movies. He gained recognition for starring alongside Tom Cruise in Top Gun: Maverick and fans later saw him romance Sydney Sweeney in Anyone But You. He is on cloud nine after his latest film Twisters beat all odds to become a box office sensation. However, fans may find it hard to believe that the actor was part of a Christopher Nolan movie before all this success.

Powell played a small role in Christian Bale’s The Dark Knight Rises. Interestingly, fans speculate that he is one of the frontrunners for the role of Batman in James Gunn’s Dcu. The speculation has strengthened after the actor himself dropped a hint regarding the Batman role.

The Twisters star made an appearance on The Today Show recently and shared a delightful secret with his fans. Apparently, Glen Powells parents have stealthily popped up in every one of his movies, from Spy Kids 3 to his latest blockbuster, Twisters. The charismatic actor, who is currently making waves for his performance alongside Daisy Edgar-Jones, opened up about the family tradition and how its made the bond between Powell and his parents stronger.

During the interview, Powell was all smiles as he spilled the beans about his parents cameo in Twisters. Meanwhile, a clip played on and showed the couple in cowboy hats sitting right behind Powell and Edgar-Jones characters in the movie.

Theres a great sequence midway through a rodeo sequence in the movie and [my parents are] right behind Daisy Edgar-Jones and I Youll be able to see them here in a second... Yeah, theyre right behind us there. Look at that.

As far as child actor debuts, it's not quite Hailee Steinfeld in Joel and Ethan Coen's "True Grit." But now that the whole world knows full well that Glen Powell is a bona fide movie star (a fact getting slammed home with a tempestuous fury this week in "Twisters"), we can look back at his first big-screen appearance in Robert Rodriguez's 2003 film "Spy Kids 3: Game Over" and kind of see it.

Powell's big scene arrives early in the movie, when Juni (Daryl Sabata) wanders into a massive arena. It's here Juni meets the Long-fingered Boy (identified as such only in the credits), who zips the Spy Kid up to the top of a tower, throws him into a robotic suit, and informs him he'll be doing battle with a formidable combatant named Demetra (Courtney Jines). The 14-year-old Powell is plenty comfortable on screen, though the broadness...
