Summary Glen Powell is quickly becoming a household name, but I think Top Gun 3 might be better off without him reprising the role of Hangman. In Top Gun: Maverick, Glen Powell played Hangman, one of several graduates of the Top Gun academy who were brought in for a new mission. It was one of Powell's breakout roles that landed him some major movie roles in the future, and Powell added quite a bit to Top Gun: Maverick.
Glen Powell Has Become A Major Leading Actor Since Top Gun: Maverick Close Since he appeared in Top Gun: Maverick, Glen Powell has become a huge movie star with several leading roles. He has starred in a few big films just since 2022, like Anyone But You, Hit Man, and Twisters, all of which found massive success. Both Anyone But You and Twisters surpassed major box office milestones just weeks after their release dates, and Hit Man became Powell's best-rated movie on Rotten Tomatoes.
Hangman Would Likely Play A Supporting Role In Top Gun 3 Close Powell's start to his time as a lead actor may have been too good for Top Gun 3. Hangman was a supporting character in Top Gun: Maverick, and he doesn't seem like he'll be much more important to Top Gun 3. Much of Hangman's character development in Top Gun: Maverick was about how he learned to work with his fellow pilots and not hang them out to dry so he could have the glory for himself.
Top Gun 3 Needs To Be Maverick & Rooster's Story Close The only way Powell can be in Top Gun 3 without his career experiencing a setback is if Hangman becomes a main character. I really don't want Hangman to become a main character, though, because Top Gun 3 needs to be about Maverick and Rooster's relationship, especially after seeing how their relationship developed in Top Gun: Maverick.
How Top Gun 3 Can Write Out Glen Powell's Hangman If Top Gun 3 does decide to cut Hangman out of the film, there will need to be a satisfying reason for his absence. Luckily, I think I've found the perfect way to explain Glen Powell's absence. By the end of Top Gun: Maverick, Hangman had gone from a self-centered jerk into a team player who cared about his fellow pilots.
