Glen Powell BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Glen Powell continues to solidify his position as one of Hollywood's most bankable stars with several significant developments over the past few days. According to Consequence, A24 just unveiled the first official trailer for Powell's upcoming dark comedy thriller "How to Make a Killing," which hits theaters on February 20th. In the film, Powell plays Becket Redfellow, a blue-collar man disowned by his wealthy family who plots to murder his relatives to claim a 28 billion dollar inheritance. Margaret Qualley co-stars, and the movie is directed by John Robert Patton, who previously made the critically acclaimed "Emily the Criminal." The Film Stage reports the project is loosely based on the 1949 British classic "Kind Hearts and Coronets," marking an ambitious dark comedy venture for Powell's career trajectory.

Beyond the new film announcement, Powell's recent premiere activities continue generating industry buzz. According to IMDb, Tom Cruise showed up to support Powell at "The Running Man" premiere in London on November 5th, where Cruise publicly praised his former Top Gun Maverick co-star. Cruise shared on social media that he "laughed and was on the edge of his seat" during the screening, demonstrating the strong professional bonds that persist among the Top Gun cast.

Speaking of those relationships, People magazine recently spoke with Powell about maintaining connections with his Top Gun Maverick castmates. Powell revealed that the group text chain with his co-stars from the 2022 film remains "alive" with congratulations exchanged about various career milestones. He mentioned celebrating Miles Teller's recent film success and Monica Barbaro's Oscar nomination, though Powell joked that the group has no insider information about potential Top Gun sequels, saying "I literally have nothing."

On the financial front, Coming Soon estimates Powell's net worth at approximately 7 million dollars, a dramatic increase from his early career when he earned just 35 thousand dollars for "Hidden Figures." His salary reportedly jumped to 5 million dollars for "Anyone But You," reflecting his massive rise following Top Gun Maverick's success.

Additionally, Paramount is moving forward with "The Fuckboat," an R-rated teen comedy where Powell serves as producer, further expanding his behind-the-scenes influence in Hollywood. These developments showcase Powell's continued momentum as both an actor and emerging producer navigating the entertainment industry's highest echelons.
