Glen Powell reveals that Emilia Clarke was originally supposed to play the character of Harper in Netflix rom-com SetItUp.
” actor on a path to make “Devotion,” hitting theaters Nov. 23. Powell not only stars as Hudner but is a producer on the film, having spent years bringing the project to fruition. Set during the Korean War, the film also stars Jonathan Majors as Brown, who was the first Black aviator in the U.S. Navy and a recipient of the Distinguished Flying Cross.
That’s one of the things I love about this film – it was constantly surprising me by avoiding or subverting what I expected. Right, and the way she approached that character was so wonderful. It’s such a unique relationship that truly grounded them, and she really does become the heartbeat of the movie. It’s such a crucial character. We looked at so many people for that role, many more established people. But it was just obvious that she has such a special quality and she has such humanity.Obviously, Jonathan Majors is going to be on the Mount Rushmore of great actors of our generation.
I’d read with people before. I read with a bunch of people for “Set It Up,” so I’d been on the other side of that. Originally, I was doing it with Emilia Clarke but she went on to do “Solo” and we had to find a new Harper. But this was the first time I was a credited producer. That I brought something from start to finish.
