8 Best Glen Powell Movies

By Vlad Zakh · January 2, 2026

Glen Powell spent a decade as a reliable supporting player before a run of leading roles proved he could anchor a blockbuster and a rom-com in the same year. Twisters pulls a traumatised storm chaser back into tornado season, Hit Man falls for one of his sting targets as a fake hitman, Anyone but You forces two enemies to fake a couple, and Set It Up has two assistants matchmaking their bosses. Top Gun: Maverick, Hidden Figures, Everybody Wants Some!! and The Dark Knight Rises round out the list.
