The Twisters actor is debunking a report that stated his Top Gun: Maverick co-star wanted Powell to replace him in the film series after Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning, which is slated to premiere on May 23, 2025. The story is set in an oppressive future where the government controls the media and follows Ben Richards (Powell) as he volunteers to participate in a deadly game show, which will see him hunted by professional killers over 30 days. Powell’s co-stars in the Edgar Wright film include William H. Macy, Karl Glusman, Katy O’Brian, Daniel Ezra, Jayme Lawson, Michael Cera, and Emilia Jones.
