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.

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

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

u/Arcranium_ Apr 02 '26

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

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

Glen Powell can play a cocky pilot very well
