Daisy Edgar-Jones plays Kate Cooper

Twisters cast: All the stars in the disaster thriller sequel

As a seasoned meteorologist and daring storm chaser, I possess an uncanny ability to foresee tornadoes and a fierce determination to master them. Once, my innovative idea to neutralize a tornado through a chemical invention ended in heartbreaking circumstances, compelling me to abandon my adventurous storm-chasing life for a desk job in the bustling city of New York. However, an intriguing offer from an old companion to test a groundbreaking portable radar system has piqued my curiosity and rekindled the fire within me, tempting me to return to the path I once left behind.

As a dedicated cinephile, I find myself deeply immersed in the emotions she portrays on screen. It’s as if I’m living her experiences alongside her. Her raw, genuine performances have this uncanny ability to make me believe that I’m not just watching a story unfold, but experiencing it firsthand. In our upcoming project, we aim to juxtapose her emotional depth against the backdrop of a tornado and an almost surreal event. This contrast, I believe, will heighten the sense of reality and make the audience feel even more connected to her character.

Has Daisy Edgar-Jones appeared in anything else? Following the massive acclaim she received for her role alongside Paul Mescal in Normal People, she has also acted in movies like Fresh and Where the Crawdads Sing, as well as the television series Under the Banner of Heaven.

Glen Powell plays Tyler Owens

Twisters cast: All the stars in the disaster thriller sequel

What is Tyler Owens known as? Tyler Owens, once a celebrated rodeo performer, now heads a group of daring weather specialists, also known as “extreme meteorologists.” He has gained significant attention and popularity due to his unique career choice, which involves managing tornadoes.

“There’s an odd sense of familiarity about him; he seems like I’ve known many friends from my childhood. Surprisingly, even though we haven’t met before, he felt more like an old acquaintance to me. It’s his unique charm that does it. And for our movie, this quality was essential – someone who would portray a character with a touch of cockiness, yet remain likable.”

“He’s genuinely kind-hearted and compassionate, which makes his role in the film feel incredibly authentic. Since Glen already possesses these qualities, it will make his character’s struggles and impact on Kate’s character seem genuine.”

Has Glen Powell appeared in any other movies apart from Top Gun: Maverick, Anyone But You, Hit Man, Everybody Wants Some!!, Hidden Figures, and Set It Up? Yes, indeed he has.
