Summary
Glen Powell’s impressiveRotten Tomatoesstreak was broken in 2023, and if it weren’t for his $220 million mixed-reviewed movie,Hit ManandTwisterswould have continued the actor’s run of “Fresh” films. Powell’s career is rapidly trending upward, and he is undoubtedly the closest Hollywood is to having another certified movie star. So, his streak of positively reviewed films (Hit Manhas a 95 percent score, andTwistersreceived a 77 percent score) isn’t surprising. But the fact thatone project (which was a commercial success and beloved by audiences) ruined Powell’s outstanding stretch of critically acclaimed moviesis disappointing.
Glen Powell’s next movies (afterTwisters) are the black comedy thrillerHuntington, John Lee Hancock’sMonsanto,and an adaptation of Stephen King’s 1982 novelThe Running Man.
Powell’s breakthrough came when he starred as Chad Radwell in the Fox satirical slasher seriesScream Queens.However, he began receiving more recognition and film opportunities when he played one of the two main love interests in the 2018 Netflix rom-comSet It Up.Six years later,Powell has appeared in many successful movies, including the critically acclaimed filmsHit ManandTwistersin 2024.Twistersreceived promising reviews, andtheTwistersequel will likely further cement Powell’s status as a movie star(despite his 2023 speed bump).

The Only Movie You Need To Watch Before Glen Powell’s New 82% RT Action Thriller Is Now Trending On Max

Glen Powell’s 2024 Hits Would Look Even Better If Anyone But You Was Properly Received
Hit Man & Twisters Would Have Continued Powell’s Rotten Tomatoes Streak
Glen Powell’s 2024 success would be all the more admirable ifAnyone But Youhad a “Fresh” score on the review-aggregation website. However,the rom-com is much better than its Tomatometer score suggests.Anyone But Youhas an 87 percent Audience Score, after all. Nevertheless, Powell would have been on a formidable heater ifAnyone But Youwas critically acclaimed. After receiving mass recognition forTop Gun: Maverick, Powell would have continued his impressive streak with the 2023 rom-com,Hit Man,andTwisters' positive reviews.
