Glen Powell's Action Dream Dashed

Glen Powell is reportedly "absolutely crushed" following the significant box office underperformance of his recent film, "The Running Man." The actor had reportedly seen the high-budget project as a pivotal moment, aiming to establish himself as a leading action hero akin to Tom Cruise.

However, "The Running Man" failed to meet expectations, earning only $28.1 million worldwide against its $110 million budget during its opening weekend. This debut has been labeled a "major global fail" by studio executives, reportedly hitting Powell particularly hard given the narrative surrounding his potential.

Despite the setback, those close to the actor insist that Powell will overcome this disappointment. His career has been marked by a promising trajectory, and this film's failure is seen as a temporary hurdle rather than a defining moment.
