Glen Powell is becoming one of Hollywood's most versatile actors! From rom-coms to action thrillers, he's showing incredible range. Excited to see him in this firefighter role - hope they portray the profession with authenticity. 🔥

Interesting concept but I hope they don't make it too dramatic. Firefighters deserve realistic representation, not just another masala movie with explosions every 10 minutes. Ron Howard is a great director though, so fingers crossed!

Glen Powell is on fire these days! (Pun intended 😆) So many projects lined up. I loved him in Top Gun: Maverick. Hope this film shows the real challenges firefighters face - they're true heroes who don't get enough recognition.

Would be great if they show some Indian firefighters too in international crews. We have brave firefighters in Mumbai and other cities who deal with high-rise fires regularly. Hollywood could show more diversity in these professions.

The storyline sounds emotional with the childhood friends angle. Hope they balance the action with good character development. Also looking forward to Twisters - seems like Glen is becoming the go-to actor for disaster films!

I'm a bit tired of American hero narratives. Would be refreshing to see international collaborations where they show firefighters from different countries working together. The world needs more unity stories these days.
