Glen Powell Wears a Disguise in Hulu’s Chad Powers Trailer — Watch

Glen Powell has become one of Hollywood’s most popular men with roles in Twisters, Hit Man and Everyone but you. And now the former Scream Queens star returns to the small screen as the star of Hulu’s upcoming half-hour comedyChad Powers.

A teaser trailer for the series, which Powell co-produced and co-wrote Loki‘s Michael Waldron, dropped over the weekend ahead of its fall 2025 premiere.

The 15-second clip gives a glimpse of Powell’s role as Russ Holliday, a college quarterback who sees his NFL dreams derailed due to his bad behavior. Desperate for a comeback, he dons facial prosthetics and a wig to disguise himself as rookie Chad Powers, joining a struggling Southern football team for a second chance at fame.

It’s a real-life concept that Eli Manning first explored in a 2022 sketch for ESPN+’s Eli’s places. In that segment, produced by NFL Films and Peyton Manning’s Omaha Productions, Eli dressed in a similar disguise to Powers to appear in walk-on tryouts for Penn State’s football team.

“We’re both diehard college football fans. When we saw Eli as Chad Powers, we knew it was the way to a great, fun story about this world,” Powell and Waldron said in a joint statement when Chad Powers was announced back in February. “We’re excited to be a part of this team and can’t wait to get Chad in the game. Think fast, run fast.”

Both Eli and Peyton will serve as executive producers on Chad Powersalong with Powell, Waldron, ESPN and others. The series also stars Steve Zahn as Jake Hudson, Wynn Everett as Tricia, Perry Mattfeld as Ricky, Quentin Plair as Coach Byrd and Frankie A. Rodriguez as Danny.

“I’ve got something coming,” Powell says in the teaser. “Something big.”

Powell has a busy 2025 ahead of him. The Set it up alum will star in Edgar Wright’s The Running Mana remake of the 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger film, both adapted from the Stephen King novel of the same name. Powell is also set to appear in the thriller Huntington opposite Margaret Qualley, Topher Grace and Ed Harris.

But Chad Powers may just be the highlight of Powell who told The Hollywood Reporter back in May that the role was “one of the toughest he’s ever attempted.”

“He’s like the worst guy on the planet, putting on the mask of the most brilliant Southerner you’ve ever seen,” Powell said, noting that he had consulted with Ex. Top Gun: Maverick costar Tom Cruise on prosthetics after the action star’s role in Tropical Thunder.
