Glen Powell might be the new Running Man in Edgar Wright's upcoming movie, but he was reluctant to take a step without getting the thumbs up from Austrian Oak and star of the original 1987 adaptation, Arnold Schwarzenegger.
In an interview with People, Powell revealed he wanted to get the green light from his predecessor, who appeared in the iteration that distanced itself quite a bit from the Stephen King story it was based on. It turned out that after pulling some strings with Arnold's son, Patrick Schwarzenegger (the star of Gen V and the latest season of The White Lotus), Powell and Wright managed to get on a call with the former winner of Running Man, who wished them well for the future.
