In an interview with ScreenRant, Powell said he is “super excited” to star in The Running Man reboot, adding, “I have been doing a lot of sprinting. That’s all I can say. I’ve been working on my sprint.” Wright, known for directing Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, is helming the reboot. Powell commented on Wright, saying, “I’ll say that Edgar Wright has been one of my favorite filmmakers for as long as I can remember. I think since Shaun of the Dead, I was like, ‘I can’t wait to work with this guy.'”

Directed by Wright from a screenplay he co-wrote with Michael Bacall, the film is based on the 1982 novel by Stephen King. Set in 2025, The Running Man features a game show where contestants are chased by murderous Hunters across the globe in a bid to win money.
