The entire world is hunting this man, trying to kill him. Can he survive? Can he save his family? That\u2019s a great, simple story.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Powell has been a popular name that has been fancast in various superhero roles on the internet. However, it seems like Powell has no desire to do that. He also spoke about recently turning down a role in 2025\u2019s Jurassic World Rebirth, noting that he simply couldn\u2019t imagine himself in the movie when he thought about it. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cSometimes you\u2019ve got to close your eyes and put yourself in that movie, and you\u2019re like, \u2018No, I would not be good in this movie,\u2019\u201d said Powell. \u201c\u2018There\u2019s somebody better that\u2019s gonna breathe more life into this, or can do a better job than I can.\u2019 And you just have to be realistic about that. Sometimes you put yourself out of a job, but that\u2019s okay.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>(Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.empireonline.com\/movies\/news\/glen-powell-running-man-ordinary-guy-extraordinary-odds-exclusive\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Empire<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Glen Powell doesn\u2019t seem like he\u2019ll be stepping into the world of superheroes anytime soon.
