  • Glen Powell's Chad Powers Blitz: Grilling, Gridiron, and Good Times from LA to ESPN
    Oct 4 2025
    Glen Powell BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

    Glen Powell has kept the spotlight firmly on himself over the last few days by launching his highly anticipated Hulu comedy series Chad Powers, with a promotional whirlwind that has seen him everywhere from Los Angeles to Austin to the heart of ESPN’s Bristol campus. Earlier this week, Powell was in Connecticut, stopping by ESPN headquarters to appear on a marathon slate of five different programs in a blitz that included The Pat McAfee Show, SportsCenter, The Paul Finebaum Show, NFL Live, and College Football Live. According to CT Insider, these appearances centered around his new show, described as a more rowdy, edgy, and truthful football comedy than usual fare, featuring plenty of involvement from Peyton and Eli Manning. Powell discussed his transformation into an undercover quarterback with comedic prosthetics and offered takes on college football, winning laughs for his candidness and commitment to the bit.

    Stepping out from the Bristol studios, Powell then took to the streets of South Austin to promote Chad Powers in a more grassroots style event dishing out hot dogs and burgers for fans—highlighting his Texas roots and love for grilling, which Powell recently told Food & Wine is a key part of his downtime. He also teamed up with Raising Canes for pop-up screenings, further cementing his reputation as a fan-friendly star who relishes connecting with his audience over food and football.

    In New York, paparazzi snapped him heading into Good Morning America, beaming for the cameras in a classic bomber jacket, no shortage of style or charm as reported by TMZ. Across media, headlines have fixated on Powell’s imminent TV pivot, while social buzz has followed his every move, from Raising Canes appearances to playful group texts with his Top Gun: Maverick co-stars. He playfully revealed to People that the Top Gun cast group chat remains lit with congratulations for everything from Oscar nominations to new box office successes, but squashed rumors that he has any insider news on the much-speculated third Top Gun movie, admitting there’s nothing new on that front for now.

    Review responses to Chad Powers have been mixed, with some critics loving Powell’s comedic risk-taking while others argue the show feels rushed, as noted by CT Insider. Powell’s star, however, continues on the ascent, with media outlets like AOL spotlighting his trajectory from Anyone But You and Twisters to headlining television. No major new business ventures or controversies have emerged, but this week’s relentless promotional schedule and media buzz affirm Glen Powell’s status as one of Hollywood’s busiest, most versatile leading men.

  • Glen Powell: Juggling Stardom, Studies, and Saying No in Hollywood
    Sep 30 2025
    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.

  • Glen Powell: Navigating Stardom, Satire, and Controversy in Hollywood's Spotlight
    Sep 27 2025
    Glen Powell BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

    This week Glen Powell has cemented his leading man status both on-screen and in the business of Hollywood news. The critical conversation has revolved around the Hulu comedy Chad Powers, which Powell co-created with Michael Waldron of Loki fame. The series, inspired by a viral Eli Manning stunt, features Powell not only as star but as creative force, portraying Russ Holliday, a disgraced quarterback attempting an audacious comeback disguised under prosthetics as the titular Chad Powers. The show’s blend of sports satire and pop culture parody has led to extensive media attention, stirring a mix of praise for Powell’s comedic range and debate over the show’s intentionally abrasive characters. Reviews have pointed out that while the premise leans heavily into cringe and sometimes roughly handled parody, Powell’s performance—balancing obnoxiousness and earnest confusion—demonstrates his versatility and willingness to take risks. The show’s effort at heartfelt father-child dynamics and unmasking the layers of persona versus authenticity has been noted, even as some critics felt the humor could be sharper and more original, especially given the show’s influential Ted Lasso pedigree according to aol.com.

    Off screen, Powell made headlines at the 2025 CinemaCon in Las Vegas as he joined his Top Gun: Maverick mentor Tom Cruise for the Paramount Pictures presentation, strengthening his association with one of Hollywood’s most bankable action stars. At that same event, news broke that Powell refused a photo opportunity with a so-called canceled actor, a move that signals his acute awareness of reputation management and the pressures of public association in a scrutinizing digital climate. As reported by AOL, Powell’s decision was explicit and calculated, with his team confirming the incident but declining further comment; the other party remains unnamed, but social chatter speculates widely on the encounter with numerous guesses circulating across Twitter and Reddit. So far, Powell’s own social media accounts have remained focused on promoting Chad Powers, sharing behind-the-scenes photos with Michael Waldron and the show’s supporting cast, and name-checking Eli and Peyton Manning’s involvement as producers, but avoiding any controversy talk.

    No confirmed new film projects have been officially announced in the past few days, but persistent speculation among industry trades suggests he is being courted for roles in several big studio action and rom-com franchises, capitalizing on the momentum from Anyone But You and his lauded work in Richard Linklater’s Hit Man last year. There are also rumors of renewed negotiations for Twisters sequels, though neither Powell nor Universal has made public statements on this front.
