He has also played the character for a music video and a theme park attraction previously. As the rights of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre installment are being reportedly acquired by A24, the actor was asked if he would like to return to the role in the future.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Powell stated to <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/thedirect.com\/article\/monster-the-ed-gein-storys-leatherface-star-addresses-the-shows-controversy\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:The Direct;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">The Direct<\/a>, \u201cAbsolutely, yeah. There was a lot of speculation, and there were a lot of names in the running [like] Oz Perkins. Deadline mentioned that Glen Powell might have a TV show, or there might be a TV version. Any day, anytime, any chance to play this character again\u2026 So if A24 is doing Texas Chainsaw [and they] came calling for anything. I would absolutely pick up that phone call.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Additionally, the Mickey Mouse Funhouse star hinted at reprising Leatherface\u2019s role a fourth time in the future. He added, \u201cIt\u2019s funny how the character keeps coming back in orbit, and especially in my orbit. And so I like to think this is the third time I\u2019ve played Leatherface, but not the last time I\u2019ll play Leatherface, because it just seems to keep coming around.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Brock Powell further shared how he was unaware whether he was using the real chainsaw while filming or not. He said, \u201cOur production designer, who did all the Property Master, I should say. Cameron created two versions of the chainsaw. One was a rubber mold indistinguishable from the real chainsaw without the parts in it. I could not tell you, because they are so indistinguishable. I can\u2019t recall on the day which one I was using.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><em>Originally reported by Ishita Verma on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.comingsoon.net\/tv\/news\/2047338-monster-ed-gein-story-leatherface-star-texas-chainsaw-netflix-return\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:ComingSoon.net;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">ComingSoon.net<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mandatory.com\/news\/1677374-monster-ed-gein-story-leatherface-star-texas-chainsaw-netflix-return\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Monster: The Ed Gein Story\u2019s Leatherface Star Addresses Future With the Role;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Monster: The Ed Gein Story\u2019s Leatherface Star Addresses Future With the Role<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mandatory.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Mandatory;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Mandatory<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brock Powell, who portrays the role of Gunnar Hansen, AKA Leatherface, in Monster: The Ed Gein Story, recently shared whether he would return in a potential Texas Chainsaw project.
