As a longtime fan and follower of Glen Powell‘s career, I find myself constantly amazed by his meteoric rise in Hollywood. But the latest twist in his journey is one that has me grinning from ear to ear – the A-lister being booed during a football game while filming his upcoming TV show, Chad Powers! It’s almost too ironic for words, considering Glen’s growing popularity in Tinseltown.
Glen Powell has been making a big impact in the film industry lately, yet he’s just landed a fresh TV series. Titled “Chad Powers“, this upcoming sports comedy could potentially join Hulu’s top shows. Filming is underway, and as a result, the team has had to capture scenes in some unusual settings. The latest location was a football stadium, during a live game. Powell was present in character, and upon entering the field, he was met with boos – and there’s footage of the whole incident.
During halftime at Sanford Stadium during the Georgia vs Mississippi State game, an actor known for his role in Twister appeared on the field, leading a team dressed in blue and white uniforms as reported by OutKick. Interestingly, despite being booed upon entering the field after exiting the tunnel, it’s plausible that this wasn’t due to any individual animosity towards him. According to Chip Towers, who shared an X post about the incident, the crowd was instructed to boo for various takes. You can get a feel for the spectacle by checking out this TikTok video.

I just can’t get over the irony of Glen Powell being booed in some context when in reality, he’s becoming one of the most popular stars in all of Hollywood. Nevertheless, I’d be lying if I said I didn’t chuckle a little when hearing the massive chorus of boos aimed at the Hit Man star.

Being both a sports enthusiast and a Hulu subscriber, I’m really looking forward to seeing how Chad Powers’ story unfolds. The show is inspired by the character of the same name, which was brought to life by former NFL quarterback Eli Manning in his series, Eli’s Places. Glen Powell portrays a once-promising quarterback whose career took a turn for the worse due to his questionable actions. In an attempt to reclaim his place (both on and off the field), he assumes the identity of Powers and joins a struggling football team undercover.

Eli Manning, who playfully teased the actor of Top Gun: Maverick after its approval, works as an Executive Producer alongside his brother Peyton and the show’s main character. The sports comedy is a collaboration between Michael Waldron, known for his creative work in Marvel’s Loki’s first season. With Waldron’s participation, I eagerly anticipate enjoying this television production.
Filming began (without any humor meant) in August, with Glen Powell starting off the process by posting to his Instagram story. Some might ponder about the potential impact this show could have on Powell’s big-screen career. But rest assured, he has numerous projects at different stages of production. One upcoming movie for Powell is a remake of “The Running Man“, directed by Edgar Wright.
I’m thrilled about Glen Powell’s upcoming film projects, but it’s intriguing to imagine him back on TV as the main character. And let me tell you, that booing crowd scene is going to be quite a spectacle, especially after reading those social media posts. I can hardly wait to see how those moments unfold on screen, and I might just find myself laughing all over again when I do!
Keep an eye out, Chad Powers’ new show could make its debut in 2025, so don’t forget to mark your calendars! And if you haven’t already, consider signing up for Hulu – it’s a fantastic streaming platform where you can catch this upcoming series.
