Glen Powell has already been set to have a big year on the big screen, from starring in A24’s How to Make a Killing, to early work on Season 2 of his hit Hulu series Chad Powers, to his surprise role as Star Fox and Super Smash Bros. protagonist Fox McCloud in last weekend’s The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, to the long-awaited film return of J.J. Abrams. And now, we have a new set of details surrounding Powell’s upcoming film with comedy director Judd Apatow.
On Monday, Universal officially announced that Powell and Apatow’s collaboration, which is in production now, will be called The Comeback King. The news was accompanied by a teaser poster of a man holding a belt buckle that brandishes the film’s logo. The Comeback King, which was first reported to be a thing in April of 2025, is directed by Apatow off of a script that he and Powell co-wrote together. The studio has already set a release date, with the film debuting exclusively in theaters worldwide on February 5, 2027.
