“Running Man Reunites Guardians of the Galaxy Cast”
Lee Pace, known for his role in The Running Man, recently shared insights during an interview with ScreenRant’s Ash Crossan. He discussed his collaboration with Josh Brolin, reflecting on their dynamic characters in both The Running Man and Guardians of the Galaxy.
Dynamic Between Characters
Pace plays Evan McCone in The Running Man, while Brolin portrays Dan Killian, the show’s producer. This relationship mirrors their previous roles: Thanos and Ronan the Accuser in the 2014 film Guardians of the Galaxy.
- Evan is the leader of the assassins hunting contestants.
- Dan is characterized as a violent, money-driven producer.
According to Pace, both characters share similar dynamics. He explained, “Twice in a row, I’m running nasty errands for Josh Brolin.” Interestingly, despite sharing scenes, the actors never meet on set. They film separately and only reunite at premieres.
Praise for Glen Powell
Pace commended Glen Powell, who plays the film’s protagonist, Ben Richards. He emphasized Powell’s dedication and physical performance in the role.
- Powell’s character enrolls in a deadly contest to earn money.
- He exhibits courage in life-threatening situations.
Pace remarked, “What I love about Glen Powell in this role is… he brings a sense of, ‘I’m going to put myself in the middle of the mess.’” He highlighted Powell’s ability to captivate audiences despite the film’s hostile environment.
Film Release Date
The Running Man is set to hit theaters on November 14, 2025. As a remake of Stephen King’s 1982 novel, it promises to deliver intense action and thrilling storytelling, capturing the spirit of the original while introducing new elements.
