He did exactly what Tom suggested him to do. I LOVED Hangman, not really because of the character's writing exactly, but Glen was absolutely charismatic. Hope to see more of him in the future.

Much apart from the story, editing, awesome flying scenes, it was the cast members that made the movie for me - they all played their parts so well, and hopefully being involved in such a blockbuster as TG - Maverick will only enhance their careers going forward.
I hope Tom rubs off on this new generation of actors. Tired of the CG practice and hope that many of these up and coming actors will push practical effects and real-time engagement. I think Glen gets is. Will be so cool to watch his progression in the industry.

I loved this movie! I've watched it twice in full, and 4 more times just watching the flight scenes. It made me want to join the Navy. Again. When I was at sea, they filmed part of Top Gun on my ship.
Glen is awesome. Always has fun characters
THE BEST line in Top Gun Maverick is “Evil be gone. Hangman is coming!” 😂
Just saw it yesterday… camera work was amazing 🤩 and the flying was incredible!
As a FullStack Cloud Engineer I love Hangman's confidence. I want people that want to lead and have the Bravado to do so. Do not hate on Hangman. Appreciate his confidence. He will be taught by Crows like me to be humble. Do not crush his spirit. Let me teach him.
So Glen I myself was a recruit in the Navy 3/26/86 and was on graduation weekend from boot camp in Great Lakes IL when this movie was in theaters and I first saw it there. I'm bonded to the first film and you boys ALL OF YOU (TOM) made sure of that!! I enjoyed Top Gun Maverick for sure even though I was no airman I was a Nuke.
For me to see Tom Cruise again, in TopGun, it was fantastic, because the 1st movie I don't really remember I was 21 years old. It marked my youth. Now it's exciting because it marked my maturity. Thanks

Glen Powell is most definitely a pretty boy. I love the end of the movie for all of them. I've been to see it 3 times already, thinking about seeing it again.
Cool that people went to find out more about him - Rightfully so. Would love to see him in some certain roles. Top Gun is by far and easily the best movie of the year and one of the best in many years especially the pandemic junk.
He’s handsome 😮
His character was almost similar to Iceman. I loved it.
This dude is a star.
The ladies are totally swooning lol
What a great interview. Glen was great, but the three hosts did a fantastic job with their questions and comments as well.
I was in college year 1986 when I go to see the fist Top Gun to the movies in Finland. Now my son is in college and we went together to watch this second Top Gun. My feeling was so unbelievable. Where disappeared 30 years? This Top Gun Maverick was even better than the first one...
In a quiet way Hangman was one of the best parts of TGM
Hangman aka Bag-man was wonderful! He was 'Mave' in the 86 film confident and sure. Just what our Navy men are and need to be. I was one but in the Nuke plant operator corridor. 'Gentlemen I'll be your Savior today...' LOVED HIM!!
Glen was perfectly casted as Hangman as the cocky character...I feel like he bodied the perfect "Iceman" charisma for this generation and this movie!
Most killer smile ever!!!

Ive just watched it, two days ago and it IS one of the BEST movies I have SEEN in many many many YEARSSSSSSSSSSSS...............towards the end I thought, oh no.....Maverick is gonna die in this movie........then????? awwwwwwwwwwwww Rooster saves him, then they're both toast then BOOM....Hangman flies in to save the day. The flying scenes were exelerating. Definitely had those good ole 90s feels as well. 10/10 for me.

Glenn Powell is quite an amazing character in the movie as Hangman, the character simmiar to Ice Man. He's a superb actor. I watched his film "Anyone But You" some time ago, and he played a fantastic role in it. After Tom Cruise, if I was looking forward to anyone in "Top Gun Maverick," it's definitely Glenn Powell. They're casting Miles Teller in "Top Gun 3," but in my opinion, Glenn Powell should have been given the lead role. He deserves more.
He was the most memorable character from Top Gun 2 - Even more so than Maverick lol ......
Just an incredible movie, just amazing. One of the greatest movies ever made. Everyone should watch it in a theathre.
I've yet to see a single negative comment about TG-M. Its as great as everyone says and as Glen says its got all the feels.......get your ticket now! The best movie by a long chalk for many years imho.........
