Glen Powell<\/strong><\/a> is opening up about casting Adria Arjona<\/strong><\/a> in their new movie Hit Man<\/em><\/strong>!<\/p>\n The 35-year-old actor not only stars in the movie, but he also co-wrote the script and serves as a producer.<\/p>\n In a recent interview, Glen<\/strong> dished on casting her and the chemistry they had with each other.<\/p>\n Keep reading to find out more\u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe hard part with chemistry is that it either is or it isn\u2019t. There is no way to force it,\u201d he told EW<\/a><\/em>. \u201cRick [Linklater<\/strong><\/a>, director] and I knew that Madison is such a tough character because you have to believe that Gary, who is extremely logical and thoughtful about everything, throws everything out for the fantasy of being with this woman. So we didn\u2019t know who we were going to cast.\u201d <\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019d seen some of Adria<\/strong>\u2018s stuff, but when her name came up and Rick<\/strong> sat down with her, he thought she was perfect. And then I felt the exact same way,\u201d he added. \u201cWhen you spend so much time writing something, you know that there are certain foundational elements of storytelling that need to work. If they don\u2019t work, you don\u2019t have a movie. So thank God we had Adria<\/strong> because now we have a movie.\u201d<\/p>\n For his part, Richard <\/strong>opened up about finding the right female lead and setting up the two actors to meet up. <\/p>\n \u201cWhen it came to casting, it sounds crude, but she had to be the kind of woman that a guy would put everything he\u2019s worked for and his actual life on the line for. She has to be smoking hot, she has to be vivacious and funny, all those things,\u201d Richard <\/strong>said. \u201cI\u2019d seen Adria<\/strong> in a few things, so I figured we should talk to her. When I first met her on Zoom, I just knew immediately.\u201d <\/p>\n As for waiting to hear about Glen<\/strong> and Adria<\/strong>\u2018s meeting\u2026<\/p>\n \u201cThey were meeting around 4 p.m. because, as it turns out, they didn\u2019t live that far from each other,\u201d he shared. \u201cI expected a call around 5 or whenever the meeting was over, but I didn\u2019t hear from him until like 9. I was sitting there wondering, what happened? Then he calls me and says, \u2018Yeah, we just left. We just ordered more drinks and stayed together for four hours.\u2019 Then we were both like, okay, we\u2019re off to the races here!\u201d<\/p>\n If you missed it, Adria<\/strong> revealed how their intimate scenes left them<\/a> in pain\u2026<\/p>\n Hit Man<\/em> is out now on Netflix.
