Why ‘The Running Man’ Is the Riskiest Role of Glen Powell’s Career

The actor is preparing to play Ben Richards in a new adaptation of the 1982 novel, which promises to be more true to the source material. While it’s still unknown how viewers will react, the trailers for The Running Man reveal Powell performing impressive stunts, like leaping from exploding bridges and swinging from buildings. Beyond his leading role in the 2023 Netflix comedy Hit Man, this is Powell’s first major film where he’s the sole star.
