Glen Powell’s Fall: The Running Man vs Chad Powers – Which Project Are You More Excited For?

BBG News

Last year, I was thoroughly delighted by the arrival of “Glen Powell Summer,” thanks to the premieres of “Hit Man” and “Twisters.” After a brief hiatus from the talented actor, he’s making a grand comeback with double the excitement! “The Running Man” is set for release on the 2025 movie schedule on November 7, while “Chad Powers” will grace our screens on September 30 as part of the 2025 TV schedule. As the buzz surrounding what I’ve dubbed “Glen Powell Fall” grows stronger by the day, I find myself torn between which project I’m more eagerly awaiting.

The Running Man’s Trailer Upped My Anticipation For A Movie I Was Already Very Excited About

Prior to viewing the initial “Running Man” trailer, filled with its impressive action sequences, standout performance by Colman Domingo as the host, and iconic Michael Cera Nerf gun scene, I was already hooked. Yet, witnessing the footage below has only heightened my excitement, causing me to watch it repeatedly and eagerly share it with anyone who hasn’t seen it yet.

I’ve owned shares of Glen Powell for quite some time now, dating back to when his film “Set It Up” was released in 2018. I felt he was destined for stardom then, and this upcoming movie where he plays a character being pursued in a game seems like it will solidify that belief. To add to that, I’m a major fan of Edgar Wright, with “Baby Driver” being one of my all-time favorite cinematic experiences. So, the prospect of watching Powell deliver an action-packed performance under Wright’s signature style really excites me.

As a dedicated fan, I’m not only looking forward to the screen adaptation of Stephen King’s novel, but I’m also anxiously awaiting Glen Powell’s upcoming Hulu series titled “Chad Powers“. I can hardly wait for its fall premiere!

I’ve Been Stoked For Chad Powers, But This Tease Has Me All-In On The Sports Comedy

I’m really torn between my excitement for “The Running Man” and “Chad Powers”, as they both captivate me in unique ways. While “The Running Man” is an action-packed thriller, the upcoming series, which requires a Hulu subscription to watch, is a sports comedy inspired by Eli Manning’s ESPN character. You should know that I’m a big fan of sports narratives.

Chad Powers is a story about a rebellious quarterback who ruins his college football journey with his antics, and subsequently joins a lesser-known Southern team in an attempt to become their standout player. I’m game, I’m all for it – this tale sounds like a good laugh!

Yet, it’s important to note, Michael Waldron – a collaborator in the series creation with Powell – revealed to Swoon that there will also be romantic elements intertwined, as he put it:

In the core of Chad lies a significant romance. Much like my cherished classics such as Bull Durham and Major League, movies I adore from my youth, their appeal stemmed from captivating romances. Since I’m a sucker for love stories, I strive to embed that essence in everything I create. Therefore, you can expect a compelling romance at the heart of Chad.

Indeed, my interest is piqued! A romantic angle tickles my fancy, especially with the charming character of Powell serving as a swoon-worthy hero. I’m eagerly anticipating the creative integration of a love story within the unpredictable setting of Chad Powers.

Additionally, Waldron praised Powell’s abilities, commenting that he possesses the ability to “simmer with greatness alongside the best,” as well as boasting exceptional “character acting talent.” Previously, we have witnessed these talents in movies such as “Top Gun: Maverick” and “Twisters.” I am confident that we will see these skills showcased again in both “Chad Powers” and “The Running Man.

Undeniably, I’m finding it difficult to choose which one excites me more. Both ideas are entertaining, and Glen Powell has demonstrated his talent and charisma, making him an excellent choice to head them. Consequently, I’m confident that we’re in for a treat when the autumn season starts, marking the beginning of Glen Powell Season.
