BBG News

Glen Powell, recognized for his role alongside Tom Cruise in “Top Gun: Maverick,” also boasts another well-liked aviation film in his repertoire that has recently seen resurgence due to streaming platforms. In fact, the biographical war drama starring Powell has unexpectedly become a sensation on the free streaming service Tubi.

The film “Devotion,” which debuted on Tubi on May 1, currently ranks 9th on their top 10 movies chart. This is the second time in 2025 that “Devotion” has achieved a spot among the top 10 streaming hits; it previously reached this status during February as well.

The movie, titled “Devotion,” tells the tale of Ensign Jesse L. Brown (portrayed by ), who made history as the first Black aviator in the U.S. Navy. The film also focuses on the lasting bond between Brown and his fellow pilot, Lieutenant Junior Grade Tom Hudner (played by Powell). In the fiercest battles of the Korean War, these two pilots risked everything, earning them great recognition within the Navy due to their heroic acts. Directed by J.D. Dillard, known for “Sleight,” this film also stars Thomas Sadoski from “The Newsroom” and award-winning artist Joe Jonas.

Following closely behind “Maverick,” the film “Devotion” garnered recognition but was somewhat overlooked, receiving an 82% critical rating and a 92% score on Popcornmeter. The actors Majors and Powell were particularly praised for their performances. Unlike “Maverick,” which raked in an impressive $1.49 billion globally, “Devotion” flopped at the box office, earning only $21.7 million despite its $90 million production cost.

Devotion Marked a New Chapter in Glen Powell’s Career

In the beginning, “Devotion” was the initial project that Powell took on as a producer. He received an executive producer recognition for this movie since it was Powell who introduced Adam Makos’ book “Devotion” to Black Label Media. Following that, he has also produced his own comedy titled “Hit Man,” which he co-wrote, and a documentary film centering around the Blue Angels.

It is anticipated that Powell will rejoin Tom Cruise and Miles Teller for the upcoming ‘Top Gun 3’. Although there has been no announcement about when filming will begin, Cruise has reassured fans that the sequel to ‘Top Gun’ is underway. His frequent collaborator has also hinted at the next installment, stating, “We’ve already got it sorted out.

In the meantime, while waiting for Top Gun 3, Powell has a full plate with various other ventures. He is spearheading the remake of a different project and is also associated with Judd Apatow’s forthcoming country music comedy at Universal Pictures. Additionally, Powell will grace our television screens in the Hulu comedy series Chad Powers, set to debut on September 25, 2025. He is also serving as an executive producer and writer for this series that he co-created with Michael Waldron, who worked on Loki, and is based on Eli Manning’s viral ESPN skit.
