Director of the much awaited follow-up to the 1996 classic "Twister," Lee Isaac Chung recently revealed a funny behind-the-scenes tale that nearly led to an editing team mutiny. Originally thought of as a cut, the scene in issue shows Glen Powell coming out from the rain sporting a white shirt. But the team's forceful response soon persuaded Chung to set the scene back in motion.
Though Chung first thought of the rain-soaked scene as just a "expressive moment," his team saw its ability to turn Glen Powell's character, Tyler, into a sensation. This fits how Hollywood usually presents male stars in a way that highlights their beauty, and this scene, with its elegant and flawless appearance, best illustrates that trend. Though Chung first planned this, it really embodies the "thirst trap" look that has worked for other well-known actors like Chris Hemsworth and Henry Cavill.
This sequence in "Twisters" is evidence of how often apparently little events might influence an actor's career. Powell's physical presence in the scene helps to explain his growing star power. It confirms even more his capacity to play the Hollywood hunk, a quality noted in Movies like "Top Gun: Maverick" and "Anyone But You." This, together with the movie's box office performance—which has already topped $120 million—position Powell for ongoing industry success.
The success of "Twisters" accentuates Glen Powell's already outstanding career path. With its strong box office performance, the movie is most likely his blockbuster, surpassing his last highest-grossing movie, "Anyone But You," which brought in $220.1 million globally. Given "Twisters' ongoing success, Powell's Hollywood career is clearly headed for even higher levels.
Set years following the events of the 1996 original, the new "Twisters" movie follows Frank Marshal is the producer; Steven Spielberg and Mark L. Smith reportedly fast-tracked the sequel. Though specifics about the movie are still unknown, Helen Hunt is expected to be returning as Jo and the movie might even honor the late Bill Paxton, who starred in the original movie.
