After last year’s summer movie season, it seemed like Glen Powell was a certified movie star. Anyone but You was a rare rom-com hit at the box office, Hit Man did solid numbers on streaming, and Twisters seemed to affirm the Texas-born actor as one of Hollywood’s most exciting leading men. Everyone was wondering what Powell would do next. When it was announced that it would be a streaming show called Chad Powers with a silly premise, there were a lot of naysayers. However, according to one of the co-creators of the show, this is what made the venture so exciting.
In a recent profile for GQ, Powell opened up about his growing status in Hollywood, as well as his upcoming projects like Chad Powers. The premise is strange, as it follows a former college athlete whose career is failing, so he decides to disguise himself so he can walk on to another college football team. The show even compares itself to a Mrs. Doubtfire in the trailers for Chad Powers.
