Glen Powell is working on the filming of a new comedy-drama Chad Powers for Hulu, where he plays the role of Russell Holliday, a former college quarterback who lost his chance at a professional career due to bad behavior during a championship.

The series tells his story of trying to revive his career by disguising himself and joining a team in the south, changing his name.

Glen also serves as a co-producer of the show alongside NFL legend Peyton Manning and co-wrote the pilot episode based on the eponymous sketch from ESPN+.

The actor drew attention when he admitted that he is not going to fight for the role of the new James Bond. He emphasized that he is the "wrong guy" for the role, adding:

“I'm a Texan. My family jokes that I can play Jimmy Bond, but I shouldn't play James Bond. Get a real Brit for the job. That's who belongs in that tuxedo.”

Throughout the 63 years of the James Bond franchise, this role has been played by seven actors, all of whom are white men from the UK and Ireland, including Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, and others.
