Glen Powell Disclosed a Sprinting Tip He Offered for The Running Man, and His Co-star Tom Cruise Probably Would Be Impressed
In a thrilling turn of events, actor Glen Powell has been cast in the lead role of Ben Richards in the upcoming adaptation of Stephen King's "The Running Man," directed by Edgar Wright.
Known for his high-octane performances, Powell is set to bring a fresh take to the iconic character. The film promises a barrage of practical, high-stakes stunts, a trait that Wright is renowned for in his best movies.
Edgar Wright, whose films are known for seamlessly blending kinetic style and practical spectacle, considers Powell the perfect choice for the role due to his ability to perform all required stunts. In fact, Powell has expressed a desire to showcase running in "The Running Man," and his commitment to doing his own stunts could carve out a Tom Cruise-like moment for him.
One such moment came when Powell leaped off a bridge for one of the film's centerpiece stunts, with no CGI involved. This decision underscores Powell's dedication to delivering an authentic performance that could lead to an instantly recognisable image, potentially defining him as a committed action performer.
Powell's sprinting in "The Running Man" could also position him as more than just another charming lead, but as an action performer. In fact, if his sprinting showcase lives up to the hype, Tom Cruise might find a worthy cinematic running mate in Glen Powell.
The director himself has stated that "The Running Man" will aim to rival the best action movies. With Powell's dedication and Wright's direction, this adaptation is certainly one to watch.
"The Running Man" is still being directed by Edgar Wright and is scheduled for release in cinemas on November 7, 2025. The film is a Stephen King adaptation, as previously stated. Glen Powell has asked Wright to design a shot specifically to showcase his running, promising an unforgettable cinematic experience for action movie fans everywhere.
