The Running Man star Glen Powell isn't looking to be a comic book hero: "I don't feel, as a person, like a superhero"

Glen Powell in The Running Man trailer.

Glen Powell might be a favorite fan pick for some Marvel and DC heroes, but the former Top Gun and soon-to-be new Running Man has made it clear that he's not chasing a hero role any time soon.

Currently starring in Chad Powers, which he co-created with Avengers: Doomsday scribe, Michael Waldron, the football comedy series sees Powell as a down-and-out football player who finds a second life on the field through a new identity and some carefully placed prosthetics. When breaking down the part, Powell compared his new character to a well-known superhero who spends his nights beating up thugs while wearing pointy ears, instead of dodging tackles and ensuring his fake nose doesn't fall off.
