Starring Helen Hunt, Bill Paxton, Carey Elwes and Philip Seymour Hoffman, 1996’s Twister made nearly $500 million at the box office and received Oscar nominations in the visual effects and sound categories.

As per reports, the film is described as a “new chapter” of the 1996 movie. However, plot details for Twisters remain under wraps. The original Twister followed a team of storm-chasers as they hunted down the most powerful tornado in decades.
Powell is currently on a hot streak after his breakout role in Top Gun: Maverick. He also has Richard Linklater’s action-comedy Hitman, which he co-wrote and co-produced; Chris Morgan’s sci-fi thriller Deputy X, a potential franchise starter; and buddy comedy Foreign Relations opposite Nick Jonas, in his kitty. He is currently in production on Sony’s untitled Will Gluck rom-com alongside Euphoria star Sydney Sweeney.
