Daisy Edgar-Jones and Glen Powell lead Twisters to box office glory.
Hold onto your seats, storm-chasing enthusiasts—Twisters is back with a vengeance, tearing through box office records faster than a Kansas twister through a trailer park. Following in the footsteps of its blockbuster predecessor, the sequel to the iconic 1996 film Twister has whipped up an impressive $123.2 million worldwide since its release, with $80.5 million coming from domestic audiences alone. Directed by Lee Isaac Chung, Twisters is proving to be this summer’s ultimate thrill ride.
The film stars Daisy Edgar-Jones, of Normal People fame.
She plays Kate Carter, a former storm chaser turned meteorologist haunted by a past tornado encounter. Her return to Oklahoma alongside the charismatic Glen Powell’s Tyler Owens promises adrenaline-pumping action and a clash of personalities as fiery as the storms they chase. Transformers: Rise of the Beasts‘ Anthony Ramos adds star power as Javi, coaxing Kate back into the heart of Tornado Alley to test cutting-edge storm-tracking technology. Read our Movie Review!
