Ahead of the trailer's release, Glen Powell collaborated with social media influencer Ashton Hall to promote the trailer launch. Powell appeared in one of Ashton's 'morning routine' videos. The video ends with Hall watching the trailer in a private theatre.



The Running Man is set in a near-future society, which is seemingly obsessed with spectacle and survival. The story follows Ben Richards (played by Glen Powell), a desperate father who signs up for a brutal reality TV deathmatch. He participates in the show in order to secure life-saving treatment for his daughter. The contestants of this dangerous game must survive for 30 days on the run across a surveilled nation. Meanwhile, they are hunted by both professional killers and civilians for a $1 billion prize.

About The Running Man

In 2017, director Edgar Wright revealed on X (formerly Twitter) that he wished to remake the 1987 film The Running Man, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. Notably, the 1987 film itself is an adaptation of the novel of the same name by Stephen King. Eventually, it was made, and the film's first trailer was released on Tuesday, July 1, 2025. The trailer features a remix of Underdog by Sly and the Family Stone.

Notably, this is the second adaptation of the book following the 1987 film. The latest film stars Glen Powell, William H. Macy, Lee Pace, Emilia Jones, Michael Cera, Daniel Ezra, Sean Hayes, Jayme Lawson, Colman Domingo, and Josh Brolin in pivotal roles. It is helmed by Edgar Wright, with a screenplay co-written by Wright and Michael Bacall. The trailer teases high-stakes action sequences, raising the expectations for the film.

Paramount Pictures India releases the film on November 7  in India in English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu. Previously, the film was scheduled to be released on November 21, 2025, however, was preponed later.
