Do you think Glenn Powell will ever be an A-list star?

Hes like a bargain bin Mathew McConaughey. Like Megan Fox to Angelina but not as drastic a talent difference. Powell is a decent actor and a good co star not so much as greatva lead star.

Imo MM had to be a strong influence on him as he almost copies his style - not as blatantly obvious as Slater rip off of Jack but imo noticeable.

Maybe for his very early roles but he's one of those guys who just broke through into popular culture.

Like if I look at his Instagram account to see who follows him from my friends half of them are women with no interest in wrestling, he's just mainstream now.

And with his special work out and diet plan, you can be as roided, I mean as big and muscular as him...... I don't know who's more fake.....him or Hemsworth

He looks like an unknown straight to video guy.

He's no Bruce Lee
 
The thin man? My dad's crazy about those movies.

I love movies and have no clue who Glen Powell is
 
I have no idea. He seems like out of the radar in terms of his status in the acting world.
 
He was ok in Top Gun 2 and Twister. He was really good in Hitman. I don't mind him being an A-lister, but I am not sure if he can be versatile, just a serviceable leading man.

Im ashamed to admit it but I like him. His delivery is very good and he has a likeable, down to earth quality mixed in with a little douchiness

Can he take the next step like Matthew McConaughey?

What do you guys think about him?

McConaughey has an interesting career. Even when he started his career he has already show range, then became type cast as a stoner dude, then a bunch of box office slumps, then found success in rom-coms. Then after another slump, became an A-lister again and won an Oscar. He went full on method with True Detective S1 - a feat very few actors can reach or top. Not sure if Glen has those chops, maybe he does but we just haven't seen him perform a compelling acting performance yet.

. that's right. Matthew started at the top and then became beach boy, then reached the top again.

Very odd trajectory

I'm not sure but I do know @lsa is a huge fan of him. Huge fan. His performance as Hangman from Maverick really won him over, the character's selfish style and demeanour really drew him in.

Isn't he.playing tbe Arnie role in Running man.
 
Depending on the success of Running Man you could classify him as A list already.

But I predict a lot of pushback on Running Man since it is based more closely on the book, and not the cheesy Arnie movie.
 
Anything is possible but he's good playing a douche
