Glen Powell Premieres Hit Man In Austin

Glen Powell premiered his new film, Hit Man in Austin, TX last night, May 15. The actor was joined by some of his costars, including Adria Arjona and Retta, for the special occasion.

Powell is garnering raves for his magnetic performance as straight-laced professor Gary Johnson, who moonlights as a fake hit man for the New Orleans Police Department. Preternaturally gifted at inhabiting different guises and personalities to catch hapless people hoping to bump off their enemies, Gary descends into morally dubious territory when he finds himself attracted to one of those potential criminals, a beautiful young woman named Madison (Adria Arjona). As Madison falls for one of Gary’s hit man personas — the mysteriously sexy Ron — their steamy affair sets off a chain reaction of play acting, deception, and escalating stakes. Inspired by an unbelievable true story, Hit Man is a cleverly existential comedy about identity.

Hit Man will be released in select theaters on May 24 and premieres on Netflix in select countries on June 7.
