It’s great news for Owen Wilson fans and this time they can watch him do more than just a great comedy on the big screen as he is coming back. The actor who gained fame from the movie Wedding Crashers as well as the One Act called Loki will definitely prove his many sides and also display a totally new character which has not even been expected by his fans yet. The surprise of a new role played by him in a very different and exciting way has already started many discussions among fans.
Just Now In Stick Wilson Has a New Type of Role
June 4 will be the date when Owen Wilson is starring in Stick, a sports comedy series that has not been seen before and it is to be released on Apple TV+. It is not only a comedy, but it is also a heart-touching and emotional story. In this project, Wilson is played by Pryce Cahill, an ex-professional golfer who by a stroke of fate becomes a mentor to a teenage boy with a problematic personality. The tale looks into second chances, mentorship, and the ties that we build when life beats us hard.
The series is characterized as a picture with a soul, humor, and a new look not like the ones we are used to. Apple TV+ is going to release the first three episodes on June 4. The channel will make the episodes public every Wednesday up to July 23. Wilson’s close friends in the cast such as Marc Maron, Judy Greer, Lilli Kay, Mariana Treviño, and Timothy Olyphant are sure that this going to be the happiest film in the life of the actor yet.
Wilson’s followers, who are used to seeing him in light and interesting characters, are now getting familiar with this while his character is nothing like anything he has done. Now, the audiences come away feeling that they have seen a character who is both deep and real. The first critics had described Stick as a show of perfect comedy with sensitive moments, and this will surely appeal to the audience that loves not only comedy but also drama.
The Idea For The Character Came From The Real Girl Golf Prodigy
Notably, this is not merely Owen Wilson’s initial depiction by Stick, but it also has a touch of his authentic life. During the red carpet launched Stick at Los Angeles the start, an actor had talked a part of his soul, the passion for golf. By playing golf, he has built a bond with his kids — Robert (14), Finn (11), and Lyla (6).
“I usually want to have them play Topgolf or we go to the driving range,” Wilson replied. “They’re not yet quite mad about it, but it truly is a pleasure.”
The feelings of loneliness and connecting with his family are reflected in the words of Wilson. He mentions that the idea of the game of golf as his late father’s favorite sport makes him feel as if he is still connected to his dad. It leads Paul to the performance in Stick which even makes him a more authentic character.
Running in the Movie Business and Charlie’s Return after 6 Years
On top of his work with the Apple TV+ team, his new venture is in the hit action movie Runner, which will also bring him back to theatres. The movie is directed by Scott Waugh and Alan Ritchson portrays a courier who carries an organ through a dangerous city to save a patient. Wilson, in the movie, depicts Ben, a man who gets stuck up in the dangerous journey not by choice.
Runner was partly shot in Brisbane and the Gold Coast, and fans can expect a combination of action and close-to-life movie experiences. Fans might have a clue or two, who the main character is not, that he will play a part in driving the plot. This radical change in genre showcases the actor’s spirit of experimenting with his career — something far from the laid-back comedies that we got used to seeing him in.
What’s New with the Fans
Owen Wilson may have been effectively out of the limelight for a while, but his plan to make a return now is very much welcome. Stick humorously tells a story of bravery, honesty and sport, while Runner dives face-first into tension and velocity. To sum it all up, these films give an indication to a future in which Wilson has opened the way for new discoveries of himself, and not just a return acting gig.
Aside from that, in the midst of the time of rehashes, and superhero sequels this type of reorientation of a career stands out.
This is a sizzling point, and he’s doing it quietly. Absolutely no problematic discussions. No viral gadgets just storytelling that was good and a real connection – online and offline.
Irrespective of whether you’ve been a loyal supporter for a long time or just now came across his work, it seems 2025 will be the year when Owen Wilson will make a powerful comeback and will make us remember once again that he is one of the most adored and outstanding actors in Hollywood.
