"If We Had Murder In 'Anyone But You,' I Think It Would Have Really Changed The Whole Vibe": Glen Powell On His Hit Rom-com And His New Netflix Movie

There are plenty of reasons why actor Glen Powell’s films have been shattering box office records. He’s talented, charismatic, has marvelous chest hair, and, of course, he’s an absolute smoke show. With these powers combined, it’s no surprise that the man has starred in two romantic comedies being released less than six months apart, with "Anyone But You" and "Hit Man," the latter of which will be exclusively streamable with a Netflix subscription. Is this due to the circumstances surrounding this stage in Powell’s career, is it simply coincidental, or is it a concerted effort on Powell’s part? According to the actor, it may not be fair to compare the two films at all, as they exist in entirely different universes.

I caught up with Powell to talk about "Hit Man," which he also wrote with iconic filmmaker Richard Linklater. When I compared the two films, he responded.
