As a gamer with a soft spot for 80s action movies and a heart full of nostalgia, the news about Glen Powell taking over the role of Ben Richards in the upcoming remake of ‘The Running Man’ has me jumping with joy! I vividly remember the original starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, a movie that fueled many an all-nighter for my friends and me back in the day.
As I, Glen Powell, stepped onto a familiar movie set recently, I couldn’t help but feel the weight of a legendary role on my shoulders. Known for my part in ‘Twisters’, I found myself taking up the mantle of Ben Richards – a character immortalized by Arnold Schwarzenegger in the original 1987 film ‘The Running Man’. This high-octane action-adventure was inspired by Stephen King’s gripping novel of the same name. It’s an honor to step into such iconic shoes and bring my own interpretation to this classic character.
In the forthcoming adaptation, helmed by Edgar Wright, anticipation builds as the film offers a fresh perspective with a talented cast including Emilia Jones, Michael Cera, Lee Pace, Katy O’Brian, and Josh Brolin. However, they haven’t been seen on set at this point.
Recently, Mail Online provided a glimpse into London’s Battersea Power Station, and Powell’s attire evokes the fashion trends of the 1980s.
The atmosphere crackles with the essence of that period, encompassing everything from vehicles to the guarded personnel who subtly suggest the film’s oppressive dystopia, in which participants on a popular television show are pushed to gamble with their lives for a chance at staggering riches.
Enhancing the enigma, there are images of a masked individual engaged in action, whose true identity remains a mystery. This suggests that Edgar Wright is incorporating thrilling and clandestine aspects into the movie’s plot.
In a conversation not long ago, Powell expressed his enthusiasm for collaborating with Wright, saying, “I’ve longed to work with Edgar Wright,” a desire that dates back to 2008 when he compiled a list of dream directors.
For the first time, Glenn Powell is spotted working on the set of “The Running Man,” which is currently under production at Battersea Power Station, marking Edgar Wright’s reimagining of the original Arnold Schwarzenegger film.

Powell conveyed his excitement at last working alongside his preferred director on a venture that stirs his heartfelt interest.
In the story, Powell’s character, Ben Richards, is driven by an urgent need to gather funds for his daughter’s medical care, which creates a thrilling competition against destiny.
Slated for a release on November 21, 2025, ‘The Running Man’ is not to be missed by enthusiasts of this genre.
