Glen Powell as LT Jake "Hangman" Seresin smiling in Top Gun: Maverick
The Big Picture Before playing the cocky fighter pilot Hangman in Top Gun: Maverick, Glen Powell almost joined the Star Wars galaxy as the franchise's most legendary smuggler. In an interview with GQ UK, Powell jokingly revealed that he auditioned for the part of Han Solo in Disney and Lucasfilm's second theatrical spin-off film, Solo: A Star Wars Story.
Glen Powell Also Lost Out on Parts in 'Captain America', 'Cowboys & Aliens', 'Friday Night Lights', and More Close In the same interview, Glen Powell also expanded on the feeling of losing out on other big parts in notable feature films. Powell was among many considered for the "Star-Spangled Man with a Plan" in Captain America: The First Avenger, which ultimately went to a previous Marvel star from the Fantastic Four series, Chris Evans.
"It’s haunting when you blow those moments, but that’s one of the parts of that’s not true. That was always somebody else’s ride to go on. You know what I mean? It was never yours to go on. If you put your time in, you’ll get your ride."
