 Glen Powell BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Glen Powell has been making major headlines these past few days and giving the industry no choice but to keep him front and center. Most prominently, he’s busy promoting his new Hulu comedy series Chad Powers, a partnership with Raising Cane’s that is set to start streaming September 30. He’s all over media discussing the show’s unique blend of sports, humor, and heart, making waves for what some call a strategic step into the world of TV comedy after his recent blockbuster streak. Powell’s signature charm is on full display, both on press junkets and his lively social media, although the real heat in his digital life apparently comes from a non-stop group text with his Top Gun Maverick cast. According to People and Fox 17, this private chat is a constant chorus of genuine congratulations as the Maverick crew celebrates mutual successes—Miles Teller’s movie is a hit, Monica Barbaro got an Oscar nod, and there’s never-ending speculation about the rumored Top Gun 3. Powell is quick, however, to shut down any hopes of insider scoops, telling interviewers there’s no new information about the sequel, despite mounting industry chatter and confirmation from Variety in January that development is underway.

More surprising is Powell’s personal and academic pivot: AOL reports he’s moved back to Texas and is juggling an already high-flying career with finishing his degree at the University of Texas. He’s literally commuting between film sets in London—currently at work on Edgar Wright’s adaptation of Stephen King’s The Running Man—and proctored university exams in Austin, all while finding time to credit fellow Texan Matthew McConaughey for sage advice on avoiding Hollywood burnout.

On the business side, Coming Soon estimates Powell’s net worth at $7 million, noting that Anyone But You and Twisters have paved the way for much more lucrative paydays. Industry insiders expect his earnings to climb sharply now that he’s a known box office draw, especially with whispers that he and Michael B. Jordan are in talks for a Joseph Kosinski-helmed Miami Vice remake, as reported by Popfaction on Threads. Meanwhile, Powell has confirmed to ScreenRant that he’s no longer attached to the Captain Planet movie, a passion project of his since 2016, now firmly out of his hands as Netflix and Leonardo DiCaprio focus on the property.

For fans tracking Powell on Instagram, there’s no shortage of Brisket—the actor’s dog—stealing the spotlight, while memes and romantic speculation buzz around his latest film releases. The story of Glen Powell over the past week is equal parts next-gen movie star, grounded Texan, and Hollywood’s most in-demand lead learning to say both yes and no at the right time.
