Glen is such an underrated actor, and Top Gun Maverick definitely gonna boost his accolades into the next level. Love him since Scream Queens, well done Mr. Powell!!

He is not underrated, he is just unrated. No one knows who he is.

Him and Miles Teller should continue as the leading roles for Top Gun movies.

Yesssss

[@Mirdax]

And should others

[@alynag5332]

there should not be any more topgun movies when a franchise makes more movies than it has to, it gets bad. Topgun is perfect it doesnt need any more movies. They were great in it and this movie is going to be remembered for a long time.

Scott is like his dad’s twin, but it’s true there’s enough nepotism in Hollywood. There’s always somebody who wants it more and Glen seems like that guy.

[@thealislife2536]

Wished they have him longer in the film. His charisma is overloaded

[@veebeememes3108]

Although he wasn’t a lead in hidden figures, I really liked him in that movie. That says a lot about an actor when they can shine in a small role. Now I get excited whenever I see him in a movie.

[@momentsiconic.9984]

Yes very well said

[@nindradushyanth]

He also starred as a lead actor in "Set It Up".

[@user117-ella]

He's so charismatic. He stole every scene he was in as Hangman. Really looking forward to see more of him!!!

[@ThePatman1980]

I remember Glen in The Expendables 3. He was perfect as Hangman. He's basically Iceman and some Maverick where he regrets kicking Mav only to realize he's the new instructor.

[@asadelh.28]

Exactly! Such a cool dynamic. Hes Iceman in terms of the statud within the pilots and with him being the bedt among the young guns, but with Mavericks flying style. But id argue hes alot more mature and refined than the young Maverick, seeing as how he has all the speed skills and aggression but is still very intelligent and cautious as he looked visibly concerned when Rooster and Mav were uproaching the hard deck. Something the younger Mav didnt give two shits about and was therefore alot more reckless and accident prone. Hangman is the perfect fusion of both I reckon if in the franchise his career follows a similar trajectory to Maverick he easily becomes the best pilot in the franchise

[@jackdennis3511]

He would be perfect for F4’s Human Torch. Make it happen Marvel!
