“Anyone But You” star Glen Powell says his upcoming film “Twisters” is “definitely not a reboot.”
The upcoming sequel leans more toward an update of the original version with a brand new plot. Powell, who has racked up roles in rom-coms (“Set It Up”) and action films like “Top Gun: Maverick” and “Devotion” will lead the Universal movie alongside Daisy Edgar-Jones. Though production on the disaster epic paused due to the writers’ and actors’ strikes in 2023, the film remains on track for its 2024 release date.
“We just wrapped it a couple nights ago. It’s definitely not a reboot. We’re not trying to recreate the story from the first one. It’s a completely original story,” Powell told Vogue for a profile piece. “There are no characters from the original movie back, so it’s not really a continuation. It’s just its own standalone story in the modern-day.
