Glenn Powell Stars in The Running Man Remake

Glenn Powell has been spotted on the set of Edgar Wright's remake of The Running Man, dressed in an 80s-inspired costume appropriate for his role as Ben Richards, originally played by Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 1987 film. Filming has commenced at London's Battersea Power Station, with scenes depicting a dystopian reality TV show where 'runners' must evade professional killers. The cast includes notable actors such as Josh Brolin, Michael Cera, and Emilia Jones, although they were not present during the initial filming.

The film is scheduled for release on November 21, 2025, coinciding with the timeline of the original book. Powell expressed enthusiasm for the project, highlighting his excitement about collaborating with Wright, whom he has long admired.
