Tom Cruise Praises Glen Powell’s The Running Man

Tom Cruise turned up in full support at the premiere of Glen Powell’s upcoming film, The Running Man, sharing his experience with fans on Instagram.

The Mission: Impossible star posted a cheerful picture alongside Powell, both holding special popcorn boxes branded with the film’s title. Cruise followed it with a group photo featuring director Edgar Wright and cast members Coleman Domingo, Lee Pace, and Emilia Jones.

“Another great night out with my friends at the movies! You guys crushed it, congratulations! I laughed, was on the edge of my seat, and ate way too much popcorn,” Cruise wrote.

Glen Powell echoed the sentiment, posting similar photos and giving Cruise a playful shoutout: “The Running Man with THE Running Man.”

This is not the first time Cruise has publicly supported Powell. At the London premiere of Twisters, Cruise attended the event, prompting Powell to caption a shared photo: “When your wingman follows you into the storm.”

The two actors previously worked together in 2022’s Top Gun: Maverick, which grossed $1.5 billion worldwide.
