In this new A24 film, Powell plays Becket Redfellow, a determined and dangerous man. Abandoned by his incredibly rich family when he was born, Becket, who comes from a working-class background, decides he’s tired of being ignored. The movie’s description promises that Becket Redfellow will do anything – even harm his family – to get the inheritance he believes is rightfully his.

I just saw this movie, and it’s a really fun update to an old British classic! It’s about a guy, played by Glen Powell, who has to deal with a whole lot of tricky situations – basically, he’s trying to get rid of seven relatives who are standing in the way of a massive $28 billion inheritance. Everyone who’s seen it early is already raving about Glen Powell’s performance, and honestly, I agree! Some critics are even saying he needs to play more quirky, unconventional characters, and I totally see where they’re coming from.

Alongside Adam Powell, a talented group of actors brings this story of ambition and excess to life. Margaret Qualley plays Julia Steinway, Powell’s friend from childhood, and she’s joined by Jessica Henwick, Topher Grace, Zach Woods, Bill Camp, and the iconic Ed Harris, all contributing to the intense atmosphere surrounding Powell’s risky plan. At the film’s premiere, Powell and Qualley seemed to enjoy each other’s company, and viewers have noticed a palpable connection between them that shines through in their scenes together.

Lately, people can’t stop talking about how much actor Powell looks like a young Brad Pitt. Many have noticed his natural charisma, strong jawline, and that same captivating “movie star” quality Brad Pitt had in the nineties. Like Pitt, Powell is skilled at combining exciting action scenes with a playful, down-to-earth sense of humor, making him instantly likable.

Powell has a lot going on beyond his current film. He just wrapped up filming the sci-fi mystery The Great Beyond with Jenna Ortega and Samuel L. Jackson, and he’s also starring in an upcoming romantic comedy by Judd Apatow and a firefighter drama directed by Ron Howard. With these projects, he’s sure to be a familiar face in movies for a long time.

He didn’t become famous overnight. It took over ten years of smaller roles before he finally got his big break in Top Gun: Maverick. This long journey has helped him stay humble as he enjoys his new status as a leading actor. He’s often said in interviews that he’s simply grateful to be working with people he’s long admired.

With the release of “How to Make a Killing” on February 20th, excitement is growing. The film gives Powell a chance to show off a more complex and intense side to his acting, while still keeping the humor his fans enjoy. From chasing storms to fighting for a family fortune, he’s proving he’s a truly talented actor, not just someone who resembles another star.
