Colman Domingo Joins Glen Powell in ‘The Running Man’ Remake, Ready to Run for His Life (or Just Host It)

Colman Domingo has signed up for a sprint through Hollywood history! The 55-year-old Oscar nominee is teaming up with Glen Powell for Edgar Wright’s flashy new remake of The Running Man. And if you’re thinking, “Wait, wasn’t that the Schwarzenegger classic where people run for their lives while dodging homicidal maniacs?”—you’re absolutely right.

But this time, Colman isn’t breaking a sweat on the track. Nope, he’s stepping into the stylish (and probably slightly sinister) shoes of the game show host. Yes, the charming, devil-may-care emcee who makes televised death look like prime-time fun. The role was famously played by Richard Dawson in the 1987 original, but with Colman’s charisma, we’re betting the ratings will hit the stratosphere.

For the uninitiated, The Running Man is based on Stephen King’s dystopian novel, where a desperate guy named Ben Richards (played by Glen Powell) enters a deadly reality show to save his sick daughter. Spoiler alert: It’s less “Survivor” and more “don’t get pulverized by chainsaw-wielding maniacs.”

But wait, there’s more! The new cast isn’t just a two-man show. Joining the chaos are Josh Brolin (aka Thanos without the snap) and Katy O’Brian (probably ready to crush it in whatever role she’s got).

If you’re already curious about how Glen Powell looks while sprinting for dear life, fear not—paparazzi nabbed some set photos in late 2024. Picture this: Glen mid-run, face full of determination, possibly dodging explosions or maybe just a rogue boom mic.

Mark your calendars, because this high-octane, running-shoes-required flick hits theaters on November 7, 2025. Will Colman steal the show as the snarky host? Will Glen survive the gauntlet? Will we finally learn why nobody just walks on The Running Man? Stay tuned for updates—and maybe lace up your sneakers just in case.
