Paramount Pictures has released the second official trailer for the much-awaited sci-fi action thriller The Running Man, directed by Edgar Wright. Set in a dark and dystopian future, the film follows Ben Richards (Glen Powell), a desperate father who volunteers for a deadly game show.

The trailer immerses viewers in the high-stakes, adrenaline-fueled world of The Running Man, where every action is broadcast to a hungry audience. The show’s violent spectacle reflects a society obsessed with entertainment and control. Ben’s journey is more than a struggle to survive; it becomes a rebellion against an oppressive system that manipulates the media and shapes public perception.
The film features a strong ensemble cast, including Josh Brolin as the ruthless show producer Dan Killian, along with Michael Cera, William H. Macy, Katy O’Brian, Lee Pace, Colman Domingo, and Emilia Jones.
Based on Stephen King’s 1982 sci-fi novel, the screenplay is co-written by Edgar Wright and Michael Bacall. The story blends intense action, suspenseful survival, and social commentary, all delivered with Wright’s distinctive style and sharp storytelling.
The Running Man is set to release worldwide on November 14, 2025. Audiences can expect a visually striking and emotionally gripping cinematic experience that combines dystopian thrills with the gripping tale of a father fighting to protect his family in a merciless, high-stakes world.
