Glen Powell attended the A Toast to Texas Film this past Thursday, May 16 in Austin, TX. The event was held to honor Powell, who was recently inducted into the Texas Hall of Fame.
Yesterday, May 17, the actor met up with his Hit Man costars to attend a photo call for their new movie. You can see photos from the photo call here.
Powell plays 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.
