Glen Powell will star in the new legal drama Monsanto alongside Laura Dern and Anthony Mackie from Blind Side director John Lee Hancock


Glen Powell's star continues to ascend as he gears up to headline a new film. The actor is set to star in Monsanto, a new legal drama featuring Anthony Mackie and Oscar-winner Laura Dern.

'I was drawn to this contemporary David vs. Goliath true story because I found it dramatic, moving, quite funny and of critical importance in today’s world,' said Hancock. 'Erin Brockovich, Silkwood, It’s a Wonderful Life, Spotlight, 12 Angry Men, Moneyball, Norma Rae… I legitimately think I can list 200 wildly successful and beloved films about real people standing up against overwhelming odds with only fairness and truth on their side. Up next, he dives into Netflix's Hit Man, a project he not only stars in but also co-wrote alongside director Richard Linklater, before embarking on Universal's adrenaline-fueled Twisters.
