Move over Arnold Schwarzenegger; Glen Powell is here to run circles around you—literally! The Top Gun: Maverick heartthrob has been spotted filming scenes for the upcoming remake of The Running Man in Glasgow, Scotland, where the city streets have been transformed into a futuristic dystopia. Or maybe that’s just Glasgow on a Sunday—who’s to say?
At a spry 36 years old, Glen was seen darting around the set, clearly proving cardio is still cool. This comes hot on the heels (pun fully intended) of his high-octane scenes shot just days earlier in London. It seems Powell’s passport is racking up as many stamps as his pedometer steps—fitness influencers, take notes.
For those who slept through movie history class: The Running Man is based on a Stephen King novel about a guy named Ben Richards, who enters a cutthroat reality show to win cash and save his sick daughter. The stakes are high, the drama’s intense, and the spandex suits? Unforgettable. Arnold Schwarzenegger famously headlined the 1987 original, and while Arnold had his trademark one-liners, we’re betting Glen will bring his signature “maverick charm” to the role.
Joining Glen in this high-speed reboot is Josh Brolin—yes, Thanos himself—and Katy O’Brian, Glen’s Twisters co-star. This trio of talent signed on back in April, and the world has been holding its breath ever since. Will the remake outshine the original? Will Glen Powell’s character skip leg day? And most importantly, will Glasgow forgive him for causing traffic jams with all this movie magic?
Stay tuned, because The Running Man remake is shaping up to be the cardio event of the decade. Sneakers laced, Glen—it’s go time!
