AceShowbiz - Glen Powell won't likely play as a superhero because he is no longer interested in it. The "Anyone but You" actor, however, would make an exception when it comes to Batman because he is a fan of the Michael Keaton-led Batman era.
"I was always a Batman guy. I would have a wild take on Batman. It definitely would not be like a Matt Reeves tone - it'd probably be closer to [Michael] Keaton," the 35-year-old told GQ while walking through the Warner Bros. Studio lot tour's Batmobile section, pointing out the iconic car from the 1989 Tim Burton movie. "See? This is the era."
Glen has been at the peak of his career now. He also acknowledges that Hollywood became a lot more favorable to him thanks to the success of actors like Chris Pratt in "Guardians of the Galaxy" and Chris Hemsworth in "Thor".
"I really do feel like a lot of Hollywood is which actors are in vogue," he stated. "What everybody does is end up writing to that thing. All of a sudden, when Robert Pattinson pops off, they're like, 'We want a brooding Robert Pattinson type.' You see it in every script."
Despite his skyrocketing fame, the Texas-born hunk divulged earlier this month that he's moving back to his home state. When speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, he said the real benefit of "getting to this point in Hollywood is that I can now leave Hollywood." He added, "It's like I've earned the ability to go back to my family."
Glen went on to disclose that after selling his Hollywood Hills pad, he bought a "home" just 30 minutes away from his mom, Cyndy Powell, and dad, Glen Powell Sr. The actor also plans on finishing his degree at the University of Texas.
"I think it's really important to my mom and it's more of an emotional thing for me," he said of the reason why he's going back to school. "Plus, I'm so close, I can taste it."
