Glen Powell continues his hot streak with 'The Comeback King,' a country music comedy from director Judd Apatow set for February 5, 2027. Universal Pictures will release the film theatrically.

Powell stars as a country western music star in what appears to be his first major musical role. The actor has become one of Hollywood's most in-demand stars following breakout performances in 'Top Gun: Maverick' and 'Twisters.'

The film marks a return to directing for Apatow, known for comedies like 'The 40-Year-Old Virgin' and 'Knocked Up.' Apatow has spent recent years primarily producing projects rather than directing.

Powell also has 'The Running Man' remake in development, cementing his status as a leading man. The Texas-born actor has quickly risen from supporting roles to headlining major studio films.

Why this matters

This marks another major role for Powell, who became a breakout star in 'Top Gun: Maverick' and 'Twisters.' It also signals Apatow's return to directing after focusing on producing in recent years.

What to watch

Look for more details about the film's plot and supporting cast as the February 2027 release approaches.
