Glen Powell recently made a significant statement about the demanding conditions faced by the cast and crew during the filming of “Twisters,” the upcoming sequel to the 1996 hit “Twister.” During a presentation at CinemaCon 2024, Powell detailed the extreme measures the crew undertook to capture realistic storm scenes, including filming in 120-degree heat, enduring jet engines blowing debris, and being pelted with ice and hay. These conditions led to what Powell described as a grueling but ultimately rewarding experience【6†source】【7†source】.
