Glen Powell transforms into ‘ugly' Chad Powers in new trailer
The post Glen Powell transforms into 'ugly' Chad Powers in new trailer appeared first on ClutchPoints.
A new trailer has dropped for Hulu's Chad Powers series, and star Glen Powell transforms into the 'ugly' college football quarterback.
The new trailer begins with Powell's character Russ Holliday's epic fail that nearly ends his football career. He dropped the ball while celebrating into the end zone, resulting in fans throwing every insult at him, from 'Dumpster fire' to 'Good luck flipping burgers!!!' While this would be a devastating mistake for any player, he says, 'There's no such thing as bad press.'
'Everyone says I'm done with football,' he said. 'If I can't play as Russ, I'll play as someone else!'
Of course, Russ then goes undercover as Chad Powers to walk on at another college. The teaser shows him having makeup and prosthetics applied as he transforms into his new self. 'He's like extremely ugly,' a cheerleader for his team says.
Fans do not have to wait much longer for the premiere of Chad Powers. It will have a two-episode premiere on September 30, 2025.
Powell co-created the series with Michael Waldron, who previously created Loki for Marvel. They co-wrote the script for the first episode together as well. Powell and Waldron will also serve as executive producers of the show alongside Peyton and Eli Manning.
The series is based on the sketch by Eli Manning. He went undercover during a Penn State walk-on tryout, wowing the coaching staff and other hopefuls trying out.
In the fictionalized series, Russ Holiday nearly ends his collegiate football career with his crucial mistake. So, he attempts to walk on to another program that is struggling, playing under the name Chad Powers.
Powell will lead the series. Steve Zahn, Toby Huss, Perry Mattfield, and Cayne Crawford will also star in the series. Additionally, the 'Hawk Tuah' girl, Haliey Welch, is set to appear in it.
Chad Powers will begin the fall of Powell. He is also set to star in Edgar Wright's Running Man adaptation. It is an adaptation of Stephen King's novel of the same name.

BLERD ALERT! Is A 'White' Black Panther On The Horizon?
TIMOTHY A. CLARY When it comes to Black superheroes, many tend to hold King T'Challa, aka the one and only Black Panther, to the highest of standards — he's right up there with Statik Shock, Blade, John Stewart's Green Lantern and his often-depicted wifey, Storm, just to name a few. It's one of the main reasons why Blerds everywhere have been making quite a ruckus lately in reaction to the release of Marvel Knights: The World To Come #1, a polarizing plot that sees our beloved T'Challa dying on the throne and a whole white son named Ketema stepping up to take his place on the throne. …say what ?! Take a look below at a semi-spoilers description of The World To Come #1 by way of the well-informed duo curating @MastersOfComicBooks: RELATED: BLERD ALERT! Our Favorite Black Girl Nerds In Pop Culture As the official description given by Marvel reads, 'With T'Challa gone, the future of the Marvel 616 Universe will be determined by a final tribal challenge for the Wakandan throne and the mysterious victor who will change Wakanda, and the Marvel Universe, forever.' With Earth-616 being the primary universe that most Marvel comics pass through, the events of Marvel Knights: The World To Come could prove to be permanent. With that said, many are wondering if art will imitate life and result in a white actor filling the role of Black Panther in place of the late Chadwick Boseman, who helped bring the character to the big screen back in 2018. In the five years since his untimely death due to colon cancer, which also led to his exclusion from the 2022 sequel, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever , the question has lingered as to whether BP will be recasted (likely), reworked in CGI form (very unlikely) or even retired to the bleachers as a tribute to Boseman (bittersweet). Could the introduction of Ketema be just what Hollywood execs were hoping for in order to get golden boys like Timothée Chalamet, Jacob Elordi or any of the many white counterparts to Michael B. Jordan and Jharrel Jerome a leading role in Wakanda? This brief deep dive by Screen Rant sums things up quite well: 'Having a white man under the Black Panther mask obviously won't sit right with many readers, and it would seem that is exactly Marvel's intention. Even without hints that Ketema's actions cause shockwaves through the future, his heinous actions should be enough to make people uncomfortable. The fact that the character is seemingly a Caucasion son of two Black parents only raises more questions. So the question now becomes, will the arrival of T'Challa's son mean a new king, or a new villain? Time will tell.' via @bardbaker777 2. Can't nobody be happy for a white black panther when yall sat up there and did Halle the way yall did for being a black mermaid … I normally would've said we some hypocrites but then I think about all the times racism was shown when black people were casted for certain roles 😅 via @ChiefMiyKeef via @EmansReviews 4. Alot of these content creators are so LOUD with the white black panther news, but be silent when black led books drop 👀 they didn't say nothing when black lightning dropped, or Earth M, DC Power Company, or when Ultimate Black Panther dropped but they so LOUD now. via @YoANerd via @81aep via @redcoatraccoon via @naMnaSYt via @JeremiahMuyagu via @Orksonlauri via @MugenLord SEE ALSO Black America Web Featured Video CLOSE

New Barbara Walters documentary tells the story of my dear friend
Up close 'View' on Barbara Barbara Walters left us at age 93. Her Tribeca Festival and Imagine Entertainment documentary 'Tell Me Everything' is on Hulu June 23. As teenagers, we'd meet steadily in her father Lou Walters' B'way nightclub the Latin Quarter. Me dating his club's star. She in college. Both of us nobody. In larger life, we lived near one another. We traveled together. I have her Bulgari wristwatch and two mink jackets. Together we sold her diamond jewelry. Her housekeeper now works for me. Once I had her favorite Chinese restaurant charge $1,000 takeout to me. Another birthday, $1,000 in pantyhose. Advertisement I had dinners, lunches with her. My driver Jose drove her. We shared the same doctor. People magazine quotes me: 'She didn't love you if you were nobody. You had to be somebody.' Visiting me was always in hat and dark glasses. Her Havanese dog was named Cha Cha. Summers we'd visit her Hamptons rental. We did Iran, Israel, Argentina, Italy and another dozen countries together. Taking one Italian steamship trip. She to make a speech. Me her Plus One. On our way, a doctor gave me Ambien to sleep. Five milligrams. Airborne, I took a second pill. Forget it. My head fell inside our scrambled egg breakfast. The crew had to tie me to a wheelchair. Up the ramp as the ship's captain saluted Barbara, the crew needed to strap me in and push me. Thrilled Barbara was not. Advertisement Our dining table was in a protected area so nobody'd bother us. Know that a nearby table of 10 shouters were knocking Barbara. We heard. I didn't know what to do. Barbara knew. Finishing dinner she walked over and told them she'd heard every word they said. Three of us friends were buying contiguous homes together in the Plaza Hotel's newly renovated apartment wing — Barbara, Joan Rivers, me. We'd have each other's keys. Always be together, safe, never alone. One by one that idea would not work. Sara Bernstein — behind my own Imagine Entertainment doc and always knows what she's doing — was involved in this one. Advertisement Vocab lessons Forgotten words: I never forgot them because I never knew them. Now they're yours — lotsa luck. Hoddypeak: A fool or simpleton. Cockalorum: Boastful person.

New Rumor Claims Marvel's VISION Series Will Use Human Versions of the MCU's AI Characters — GeekTyrant
Over the last year, we've seen a lot of casting news from Marvel's Vision series, and we've seen a lot of great actors join the series. While we don't have a ton of info on the show's synopsis, a new rumor about the show certainly lines up with the roles that have been cast. Paul Bettany stars in the series as a new version of Vision, White Vision, after he lost the Mind Stone and had his memories restored by the Hex Vision. He will be joined by Emily Hampshire, who will be playing E.D.I.T.H. the sleek, intimidating AI system originally created by Tony Stark; James Spader reprising his iconic role as Ultron; T'Nia Miller as Jocasta (another familiar AI name from Marvel lore); Faran Tahir, who returns as Raza, a character we last saw in Iron Man, as well as Todd Stashwick, and Ruaridh Mollica. Industry scooper Daniel Richtman has proven himself a reliable source for Vision intel, and he's just shared a big update on plans for the WandaVision follow-up (via CBM). He claims that the AI characters will appear in human form for most of Vision to save on VFX costs and to help get the series on Disney+ as soon as early 2026. It's a smart decision on Marvel Studios' part if true, though we do hope to see the likes of Ultron and Jocasta get some memorable moments in their robot forms, too. The solid cast list makes sense for this news, as they are bringing in some great actors to bring these characters to life. I think this series sounds like it's shaping up to be really new and original, and I am really looking forward to seeing how it plays out. I loved WandaVision , and if this is anything like it, I think we are in for an exciting ride. Stay tuned for updates on the project as it moves forward.
