 Lee Pace & Josh Brolin Reunite In Stephen King’s The Running Man — Fans Call It “A Galactic Comeback”

Lee Pace and Josh Brolin reunite after Guardians of the Galaxy for Stephen King’s The Running Man remake. Fans call their on-screen chemistry “power-packed.”

In Hollywood’s latest buzz, two mighty forces from the Guardians of the Galaxy universe are crossing paths again — Lee Pace and Josh Brolin.

Yes, the same duo who once ruled the galaxy as Ronan the Accuser and Thanos are now teaming up for Stephen King’s The Running Man remake — and fans can’t stop talking about it.

Lee Pace, who plays Evan McCone in the upcoming action thriller, opened up during an interview with ScreenRant about his experience working — or rather, re-working — alongside Josh Brolin. And interestingly, just like their Marvel days, they barely share screen time this time too.

Grinning, Pace admitted, “For the second time, I’m doing all the dirty work for Josh Brolin.. The funny part is, we never even meet on set. We just bump into each other at premieres.”

The remark instantly caught fire online — with fans joking that even when they’re not in the same scene, the chemistry between these two powerhouses somehow dominates the frame.

But this isn’t just another reunion story. The Running Man promises a dark, thrilling ride — directed by none other than Edgar Wright, known for his electrifying cinematic style. The movie reimagines King’s 1982 novel, where Glen Powell plays Ben Richards, a desperate man thrown into a deadly survival game show.

Pace steps in as the cold-blooded assassin leader, while Brolin plays the ruthless producer pulling the strings — the same “mad titan” energy fans loved in Guardians of the Galaxy.

Speaking about his co-stars, Pace couldn’t help but praise Powell’s dedication, saying, “He’s the kind of guy you root for. Even when the world’s trying to kill him, you feel he’ll find his way out.”

It’s that emotional core — mixed with Wright’s signature flair — that’s got audiences hyped long before the release.

Meanwhile, early reactions from critics and insiders suggest the film might just redefine the classic King adaptation formula. Edgar Wright’s sharp direction, stylish tone, and relentless pace are already drawing comparisons to his earlier hits.

And here’s the best part — Pace says Wright “knew exactly what he was doing” from day one. The final cut, he adds, is exactly how the director envisioned it — a wild, relentless ride that doesn’t let the audience breathe for a second.

As chatter builds, social media is lighting up with excitement.

Pakistani fans too joined the conversation, with many recalling Pace’s iconic Ronan the Accuser role and calling this “a galactic comeback with a deadly twist.”

For now, all eyes are on The Running Man — a reunion that’s bringing Marvel nostalgia and Stephen King darkness into one thrilling collision.

And if early buzz is any indication, this might just be one of 2025’s biggest cinematic surprises.
