Glen Powell on 'Running Man' Remake: Relatable Role
Imagine a future where the world is in trouble, and people are struggling to survive.
Some people's only way out is to compete in a dangerous game show.
This new movie, based on a book, is about a man named Ben Richards who gets caught up in this game.
He's just an average guy trying to survive and save his daughter, not a superhero.
The actor playing Ben likes this because the story is more about a regular person dealing with tough challenges.
The movie has a big cast and will be in theaters in late 2025.
