Glen Powell doesn't want to film any more remakes

Glen Powell doesn't want to film any more remakes.

The Hollywood actor appeared in a sequel to 1996 movie Twister as well as Top Gun: Maverick - the follow-up to 1986's Top Gun - and his latest project is a new version of Arnold Schwarzenegger's 1987 blockbuster The Running Man but Powell is adamant he just wants to focus on "original movies" in the future.

He told The Hollywood Reporter: "The reality is I’m not looking for [more remakes]. A lot of the movies I have coming up are original movies, and that’s what I’m trying to do.

"I’m trying to put out my own legacy of pictures for people to maybe retread years down the line."

Powell went on to explain why he took on The Running Man - which is based on Stephen King's 1982 novel of the same name - insisting his version is going to be closer to the original text than the Schwarzenegger film.

He said: "The reality is that we really aren’t remaking the Arnold movie. We’re really putting Stephen King’s book on screen for the first time."
