Glen Powell Brings Serious Charm and Swagger to ‘Everybody Wants Some!!’ 10-Year Reunion
Glen Powell brought major attention to Austin this week as he reunited with his former cast to celebrate 10 years of the film Everybody Wants Some!!. The event took place on March 22, at AFS Cinema, where the Austin Film Society hosted a special screening, according to organizers.
The night had a strong nostalgic feel, as fans and cast members came together to look back at the film that became a fan favorite over the years. Powell, who played Finn in the movie, walked the red carpet alongside Zoey Deutch and director Richard Linklater.
Powell kept his look simple but stylish. He wore a blazer with a relaxed shirt and jeans, giving off a casual Texas vibe. The outfit matched the setting and his connection to Austin, where his career first started gaining attention.
Since his role in the 2016 film, Powell has built a strong career in Hollywood. He gained wide recognition after starring in Top Gun: Maverick and later appeared in the romantic comedy Anyone But You. In 2026, he is getting praise for his role in How to Make a Killing.
His upcoming projects show he is not slowing down. He is set to appear in The Great Beyond, directed by J.J. Abrams, alongside Jenna Ortega and Emma Mackey. He is also working on a new romantic comedy with Judd Apatow and starring in the Hulu series Chad Powers, which he helped create.
He has also stayed active outside of film. He recently hosted Saturday Night Live and earned a Golden Globe nomination for his TV work. Even with his growing success, he continues to support the Austin film scene and often returns to the city for events like this.
This reunion was not just about looking back. It showed how far Powell has come since his early roles. The film helped introduce him to many fans, and now he is leading major projects across film and television.
This moment shows how important it is for actors to stay connected to where they started. Powell’s return to Austin feels real, not just for show. It also shows how a smaller film can still have a big impact years later. What do you think about Glen Powell’s rise in Hollywood and his return for this reunion? Share your thoughts in the comments.
