Edgar Wright's Running Man Remake: A Stellar cast Gets Even Better!

Civil War Star Karl Glusman Joins Edgar Wright's Running Man Remake!

Edgar Wright's upcoming remake of Stephen King's The Running Man is shaping up to be something seriously epic, folks! And the cast keeps getting better. This movie's based on King's dystopian novel (written under his Richard Bachman pseudonym) and centers around a wrongfully imprisoned cop who must fight for survival in a deadly televised game show, if he hopes to survive. This really is a thrilling premise. There’s already some amazing talent on board, that includes Glen Powell (Top Gun: Maverick), starring as Ben Richards, and Daniel Ezra (All American).

But now, Deadline reports that another talented actor just signed on: Karl Glusman (Civil War and Nocturnal Animals)! No word yet on his character but hey, more is better, right? We cannot possibly wait and expect a massive cinematic explosion upon release.

A Trend of Casting Up-and-Coming Stars!

This casting shows a pattern. Wright's consistently choosing those high-potential actors. It started with Powell; he was amazing in Top Gun: Maverick and blew up even further afterward, and another up-and-comer; Katy O’Brian (who also stars in Twisters) joined the crew; showcasing more great additions, actors with a seriously awesome list of accomplishments.

This strategy continued with the amazing addition of Ezra; further solidifying how significant each actor already is. With Glusman's impressive resume–he worked with directors like Nic Winding Refn, Tom Ford, and Alex Garland–it’s completely clear; this remake focuses heavily on getting seriously in-demand, high-potential actors. Glusman's collaboration with Wright; a supremely talented director who makes some totally unique, interesting stories; just solidifies all that even further.
