Everything We Know About The Running Man (2025): Trailer, Cast, Plot & More.
Get ready to run — Paramount Pictures has officially dropped the first trailer for The Running Man (2025), and it’s everything fans hoped for and more. Directed by Edgar Wright, known for hits like Baby Driver and Hot Fuzz, this adrenaline-fueled reimagining of Stephen King’s 1982 dystopian novel is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about films of the year.
This version stars Glen Powell as Ben Richards, a desperate father who enters a brutal televised game show to save his sick daughter. The deadly catch? He must survive 30 days while being hunted by assassins — all for public entertainment. Each day he survives boosts the jackpot… and the bloodlust.
The film’s powerhouse cast includes Josh Brolin as the manipulative showrunner Dan Killian, Colman Domingo as the slick game show host, and Lee Pace, Michael Cera, William H. Macy, and Emilia Jones in key roles. Powell, fresh off hits like Hit Man and Anyone But You, looks every bit the breakout action hero.
Edgar Wright has promised a version that’s more faithful to King’s novel than the 1987 film — though fans will be thrilled to know that Arnold Schwarzenegger, who starred in the original, makes a cameo that’s already creating buzz online.
Filming took place in London, with explosive action scenes shot inside Wembley Stadium. With a sleek visual style and biting social commentary, the movie doesn’t just entertain — it takes a sharp jab at our obsession with violence, fame, and reality TV.
Mark your calendars — The Running Man hits theaters November 7, 2025. The hunt is on.
