At the premiere of Glen Powell’s anticipated film, The Running Man, Tom Cruise lent his enthusiastic support, recounting his experience with fans on Instagram.

The star of Mission: Impossible posted an upbeat image alongside Powell, both holding custom popcorn boxes featuring the movie's title. Following that, he shared a group shot with director Edgar Wright and co-stars Coleman Domingo, Lee Pace, and Emilia Jones.

“What an amazing night at the movies with friends! You all did such a fantastic job—congratulations! I laughed, was on the edge of my seat, and indulged in plenty of popcorn,” Cruise expressed.

Powell reciprocated the praise, sharing similar images and jokingly addressing Cruise: “The Running Man meets THE Running Man.”
