BBG News

As a seasoned gamer who’s navigated countless virtual worlds and movie universes, I can hardly contain my excitement about this upcoming collaboration between Jenna Ortega and Glen Powell under the direction of JJ Abrams! The fact that they’re keeping it hush-hush just makes me even more intrigued.

Actors Jenna Ortega and Glen Powell are set to join forces for an upcoming movie directed by the filmmaker behind “Star Wars: The Force Awakens”.

According to Deadline, the duo are now part of the unnamed project led by JJ Abrams. Besides directing Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and various installments in the Star Trek and Mission: Impossible series, Abrams is also known for this role.

As a passionate gamer, I can’t help but feel excited about an upcoming project that J.J. Abrams is working on, though details are still under wraps as it currently lacks a title. What we do know is that this project won’t involve any mind-bending time travel elements, which I personally find intriguing since Abrams has a knack for such narrative twists. Can’t wait to learn more about this mystery game!

Ortega, who’s about to appear in “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” gained popularity through her performances in “You,” “Scream,” and “Wednesday.” In “Wednesday,” she portrayed the famous character of Wednesday Addams in the prequel to “The Addams Family.”

The popular Netflix series is coming back for a second season next year, as confirmed by Ortega in May. Production for the new episodes has already started in Ireland. Additionally, Ortega mentioned that some new faces have joined the cast, with Billie Piper and Steve Buscemi added to the roster.

Leaving behind his earlier roles in “Scream Queens” and “Everybody Wants Some!!”, Powell has achieved broader recognition over the past couple of years with appearances in movies like “Top Gun: Maverick”, “Anyone But You”, “Hit Man”, and most recently, “Twisters”. This latest film is a standalone sequel to the 1996 classic “Twister”.

In this movie, directed by Lee Isaac Chung, we follow a fresh team of tornado investigators based in Oklahoma. The ensemble cast includes Powell, alongside Daisy Edgar-Jones, Anthony Ramos, Maura Tierney, and Sasha Lane. They work together to explore a string of tornadoes.

Actor Tom Powell, known for his role as Lieutenant Jake ‘Hangman’ Seresin in Top Gun: Maverick, has given some fresh news regarding the potential third installment of the series. He revealed that he already has a scheduled production start date for this upcoming action movie.

Wednesday streams on Netflix, while Twisters is in cinemas now.
