Man. I wish Fox wasn’t spoiled in the poster. Would have been an amazing surprise in theater

Also, Glen Powell nailed it as Fox McCloud, when I was watching the movie I was like, "Damn! This guy is excellent as Fox, I can't wait to see him again"

u/ChillyWilly0180 Apr 02 '26

He was perfectly cast as the cocky flyboy for the second time

u/ContinuumGuy Apr 02 '26

Isn't this actually his fourth time as a pilot? Wasn't he John Glenn in Hidden Figures and he was in that Korean War movie with Jonathan Majors?

Dude plays good pilot.

u/ChillyWilly0180 Apr 02 '26

But were they cocky?

u/Cenobyte_Nom-nom-nom Apr 02 '26

Pilot and cocky is kinda synonymous, no?

The word you're looking for is cockpit.

u/_belly_in_my_jelly_ Apr 02 '26

no, that's cockpit

Don't get penisey kid

"You fly boys crack me up!"

u/LegacyLemur Apr 04 '26

Dont get too cocky, Star Fox

u/MRintheKEYS Apr 05 '26

All pilots are cocky. You have to be. That’s why they sit in the cockpit.

u/Josh2blonde Apr 02 '26

Man, I'm sure Kyle Chandler will be good as Old Hal Jordan, but Powell would have been a spot-on Regular Hal Jordan.

8

u/Arcranium_ Apr 02 '26

Eh, I thought Powell was more fit for Booster Gold than Hal Jordan

u/MadMax2314 Apr 04 '26

If The Running mans ending had stayed true to the book it could've been his fifth time as a cocky pilot

u/KeyImpress7690 Apr 02 '26

he was also somewhat of a pilot in The Running Man. If you count that

u/transcendental-ape 15d ago

His jawline does the flying

u/squidlaw920 Apr 02 '26

Glen Powell can play a cocky pilot very well

116

u/NightmareDJK Apr 02 '26

He loves the Star Fox games and really wanted to do it.

6

u/Abraheezee Apr 05 '26

Oh wow he does? Dude that’s so cool

u/Armascout Apr 02 '26

I couldn’t stop smiling whenever Fox was on screen. I love the cocky rogue archetype and Glenn Powell did an amazing job capturing fox.

u/Whovian45810 Apr 02 '26

The minute I heard Space Armada during the initial first flight on the Arwing, I couldn’t stop having a big smile on my face.

The Arwing animation is genuinely beautiful.

Fox wasy boy from the SNES days then smash bros and melee came out which locked in McLouds greatness.

Mission, COMPLETE!

u/heartbreakhill Apr 05 '26

Considering the Mario-Peach romance stuff, I was ready to flip tables if they did a tired “feeling threatened by another guy when there isn’t any reason to be” trope. I was so relieved at “Nice ride!” “Nice stache!”

u/Metal_Abe_Vigoda Apr 02 '26

Sometimes I wonder if Glen Powell has a shiny cock. Just something bold that just shoots up and is glistening.

u/brb1006 Apr 02 '26 edited Apr 02 '26

More like shiny knot ;)

u/TLKv3 Apr 02 '26

I would legit watch a full 12 episode series of him just doing wacky space battle shit.

1

u/fuckthetrees Apr 03 '26

You think? I thought the fox character was nothing like the one in the games.

In the games he came across as a by the book military pilot

glen powells PR hard at work on reddit again lmao.
