As Glen Powell’s star has only risen in Hollywood over the past few years, fans have been waiting for the day when he inevitably joins a superhero movie. Rumors and fancasts have swirled for quite a while, suggesting that the Top Gun: Maverick and Twisters star should be playing everyone from DC’s Batman to Marvel’s Cyclops.
One other suggestion has popped up along the way… and it looks like it even has the cosign of one of Powell’s most recent collaborators, Michael Waldron. Waldron, who co-created Powell’s Hulu series Chad Powers, might be best known for his work in the Marvel Cinematic Universe on projects like Loki and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Most recently, Waldron has been brought on to work on the scripts for the franchise’s two biggest movies yet, Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars… which made his comments in a recent interview with The Playlist’s Bingeworthy Podcast especially interesting.
