Glen Powell's 'Hit Man' Wardrobe Should Be Your Summer Look
Effortlessly charming as always, the American actor debuted a new geek-chic look in his latest film, Hit Man.
Hollywood's rising star, Glen Powell, took on a new style with his latest film, Hit Man. The Netflix project, directed by legendary filmmaker Richard Linklater, follows a part-time police department staffer and college professor, Gary Johnson—played by Powell—who is tasked with going undercover as a professional hitman. After Johnson is hired by a woman who asks him to rid her of her abusive husband, he quickly becomes embroiled in a tangled web of deceit, violence, and love.
This project marks a departure from Powell's past roles as a suave, ultra-confident leading male archetype and places him in a challenging new dynamic. Powell also co-wrote the screenplay alongside Linklater, signaling a new era for the actor as a multi-talented entertainment professional.
