Glen Powell Says He Isn’t Pursuing MCU or DCU Roles Right Now

He favors human, underdog stories over superpowered arcs.

Overview

  • In a new Collider interview, Powell said he is not actively seeking a superhero part and is not chasing any specific character.
  • He described Hulu’s Chad Powers as intentionally built on secret-identity duality in the vein of Batman and Bruce Wayne.
  • Recent reports noted he pushed back on a casting idea floated by a writer on Avengers: Doomsday, underscoring that speculation remains unconfirmed.
  • Powell said he connects more with ordinary person versus the system stories than with narratives where someone becomes superpowered.
  • His near-term slate centers on Chad Powers, now streaming on Hulu, and The Running Man, slated for U.S. release on November 14, 2025.
