The pair created a new company that will launch thrilling stories for audiences from all over the world to enjoy, Barnstorm.

The Natural Order will be based on an upcoming novel written by Matt Aldrich.

Jenkins was also acclaimed for his work on Moonlight. The engaging drama earned several nominations at the Academy Awards, including a controversial nod in the Best Picture category.

The Return of Glen Powell

The Natural Order will allow Glen Powell to steal the spotlight once again. Thanks to Twisters, the industry realized how charismatic Powell can be once he feels comfortable in a leading role. The critical success of the legacy sequel has allowed the actor to star in stories such as the upcoming Running Man. Powell‘s recent success can also be traced back to the release of Anyone But You. The romantic comedy also featured Sydney Sweeney in a narrative that made audiences fall in love with the talented cast of the tale directed by Will Gluck. Audiences better strap in for the return of Glen Powell in The Natural Order.
