Jenna Ortega To Share Screen With Glen Powell For J.J. Abrams’s New Movie? Here’s What Report Says

As a seasoned lifestyle expert with a keen eye for emerging talent, I must say that the pairing of Jenna Ortega and Glen Powell in J.J. Abrams’ new movie is nothing short of electrifying! Their recent recognition as part of Hollywood’s New A-List by The Hollywood Reporter serves as a testament to their box office appeal, particularly among younger audiences.


Jenna Ortega and Glen Powell are near to signing deals for J.J. Abrams’ upcoming, as yet unnamed movie at Warner Bros. Details about the film are scant, but we do know that it’s not a time-travel story. Abrams penned the script himself, and his production company, Bad Robot, is in charge of making it. This news comes from Deadline.

As a longtime movie enthusiast who has watched countless films and observed the industry’s ebb and flow, I find it fascinating that Ortega and Powell have both been added to The Hollywood Reporter’s New A-List. Having grown up in an era where studio executives and producers had less interest in nurturing talent from diverse backgrounds, it’s refreshing to see these two exceptional actors recognized for their undeniable appeal and potential to draw younger audiences to theaters.

Lately, Powell’s career has been thriving following his roles in Top Gun: Maverick and Anyone But You. Most recently, his summer blockbuster, Twisters, has garnered more than $200 million in the U.S. alone, and a total of $275 million globally.

As a devoted fan, I can’t help but marvel at Jenna Ortega’s impressive acting prowess, evident in her roles in Wednesday and Beetlejuice, as well as the box office success she achieved with Scream VI. This latest installment broke records for the series by raking in a staggering $44.4 million on its opening weekend domestically, eventually amassing an impressive total of $108.1 million within the U.S. Globally, it ranks as the third highest-grossing Scream movie to date. Yet, as of now, there’s no official word on whether Ortega will reprise her role in the next Scream sequel.

At present, Powell is featured in the movie Twisters, which has grossed more than $270 million globally. He’s also slated to take on leading roles in Edgar Wright’s reimagining of The Running Man and the upcoming Warner Bros. Beetlejuice sequel. Additionally, Ortega, managed by CAA and Jackoway Austen, is expected to feature in the second season of Tim Burton’s Netflix series Wednesday and the Warner Bros. Beetlejuice spin-off.

As an ardent follower, I’m thrilled to share that, just like you, I’m eagerly anticipating Ortega’s upcoming projects. One such project is “Klara and the Sun,” a movie produced by Sony/3000 Pictures, with Taika Waititi directing. This film tells a heartwarming story about a robot girl designed to combat loneliness, who strives to heal a broken family. In the star-studded cast, you’ll find Amy Adams and Natasha Lyonne alongside me.

Another project is the A24 film titled “The Death of a Unicorn,” directed by Alex Scharfman. This movie features Paul Rudd and Will Poulter in leading roles. The story revolves around a father-daughter pair who, unfortunately, strike a unicorn with their vehicle. They then transport the injured creature to a luxurious getaway owned by a wealthy pharmaceutical executive.

As your trusted lifestyle guide, I’m proud to be associated with a prestigious talent agency that includes powerhouses like CAA, Jackoway Austen Tyerman Wertheimer Mandelbaum, and many more such as Bernstein Trattner Auerbach Hynick Jaime LeVine, Sample & Klein. These industry titans stand alongside me in my journey to deliver exceptional lifestyle insights and advice.
