Glen Powell can’t get his phone to stop vibrating because of his group chat with his cast mates and friends from “Top Gun: Maverick.”
The “Chad Powers” actor, 36, starred in the 2022 sequel to the original “Top Gun” film, and has now said he and his co-stars’ bonds have endured well beyond filming as they continue to share updates and celebrate one another’s achievements by text.
He told People, “Sometimes I’ll get a little information every once in a while from the gang. The ‘Top Gun’ chain is alive with congratulations to each other, about sort of movie openings or nominations, or whatever it is.”
The “Twisters” star added, “Miles’ [Teller] movie is doing really well, Monica [Barbaro] getting nominated for an Oscar. Everybody is getting to do all these really wonderful, cool things, so it’s a lot of congratulations.”
In January 2024, Variety confirmed a new sequel to ‘Top Gun’ was in development when Christopher McQuarrie, the writer-producer on ‘Top Gun: Maverick,’ told the Happy Sad Confused podcast in May a third film in the franchise was in the works.
Despite the excitement, Powell said his group chat has not provided any insider knowledge on the upcoming project telling People, “I wish. I wish I had something. I literally have nothing. There’s been no new dialogue on that text chain. There was a lot of speculation about a movie there for a while, but no new intel.”
Glen is currently promoting his new Hulu comedy series Chad Powers, launched in partnership with Raising Cane’s.
The show will begin streaming on September 30.
