The Running Man | Official Trailer (2025 Movie) – Edgar Wright, Glen Powell

Edgar Wright’s highly anticipated reimagining of The Running Man is here—and it’s every bit as explosive, stylish, and pulse-pounding as fans could hope for. Glen Powell leads the cast as Ben Richards, a falsely accused man turned unwilling contestant in a government-run deathmatch broadcast for national entertainment.

Based loosely on Stephen King’s 1982 novel (originally published under his pseudonym Richard Bachman) and the 1987 film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, this modern take is infused with Wright’s signature kinetic visuals, whip-smart pacing, and retro-futuristic worldbuilding. The trailer teases an adrenaline-fueled dystopia where media manipulation, totalitarian control, and spectacle collide. Powell, fresh off Anyone But You and Hit Man, leans fully into action-star territory with charisma and grit.

Flashes of neon-soaked arenas, crowd hysteria, and stylized combat hint that Wright hasn’t lost his pop-culture bite. With supporting turns from Joe Keery, Ella Balinska, and Giancarlo Esposito, The Running Man is shaping up to be more than a remake—it’s a total reboot of reality TV horror with something to say.
