Before it exploded its way into theaters, The Running Man was at New York Comic Con 2025, with a guest list just as exciting as any of its action-packed trailer. Specifically, actors Glen Powell and Lee Pace took the stage along with director Edgar Wright to give fans an exclusive look at the remake of one of the 80s seminal action films, and to share how they put their own spin on the Stephen King-written dystopia.
