Glen Powell is becoming one of the biggest and busiest actors in Hollywood and his next project has an exciting connection to the sports world.
Powell, who starred in Top Gun: Maverick (2022) as well as Hit Man (2023) and Twisters (2024) more recently, is a sports fan. While his allegiance is to the University of Texas Longhorns, he will soon play a quarterback for the University of Oregon Ducks.

This role is inspired by Chad Powers, an alter ego that Eli Manning has used in the past. Manning has previously made fun of Powell for the improper way he threw a football in Top Gun: Maverick.
Powell will co-direct and star in the TV show, which is coming to Hulu.
Here is your first look at Powell in an Oregon jersey for the show:
