Read on for everything you need to know about the cast members and who they play.
Daisy Edgar-Jones plays Kate Cooper
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
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.
Brandon Perea plays Boone
Who is Boone? The videographer of Tyler’s crew.
Has Brandon Perea appeared in any other productions besides The OA and Jordan Peele’s Nope?
Maura Tierney plays Cathy Cooper
Who is Cathy Cooper, you ask? She’s the woman who hasn’t had much contact with her daughter Kate since she moved from Oklahoma following a sad event.
Is there anything more that Maura Tierney has appeared in besides ER and The Affair? She’s also starred in movies like Primal Fear, Liar Liar, Insomnia, Beautiful Boy, The Iron Claw.
Anthony Ramos plays Javi
I’m referring to an old storm-chasing partner of Kate’s, Javi, who rekindles her interest in the field by sharing exciting news about his new venture. He’s established a company and they are pioneering a revolutionary radar system designed specifically for studying tornadoes.
Other than Hamilton, what are some other projects Anthony Ramos has been involved in? Besides originating the dual roles of John Laurens and Philip Hamilton, he has also appeared in A Star is Born, In the Heights, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, and She’s Gotta Have It.
Harry Hadden-Paton plays Ben
As a devoted follower, I’m currently intrigued by a London-based journalist who’s journeyed all the way to Oklahoma, with a mission to craft a compelling portrait about none other than Tyler and his dedicated team.
Have you seen Harry Hadden-Paton in any other productions? He’s best known for his roles as Bertie Pelham in Downton Abbey, Martin Charteris in The Crown, and has also appeared on the big screen in In the Loop, The Deep Blue Sea, About Time, and The Little Stranger.
Sasha Lane plays Lilly
Who is Lilly, you ask? She’s one of Tyler’s teammates, known for her love of excitement. In their group, she’s the one who pilots the drones.
Has Sasha Lane appeared in anything else besides American Honey? Yes, she has been featured in television series such as Utopia, Loki, Conversations with Friends, and The Crowded Room after her breakthrough role in American Honey.
Daryl McCormack plays Jeb
Who is Jeb? Kate’s boyfriend and a member of her original storm chasing team.
I’ve made appearances in various productions beyond Peaky Blinders. Some of my notable roles include a BAFTA-nominated performance in Good Luck to You, Leo Grande and a significant part in Apple TV+’s Bad Sisters. Additionally, you might recognize me from Pixie, The Lesson, and The Woman in the Wall. I’m also set to feature in Rian Johnson’s upcoming film in the Knives Out series.
Kiernan Shipka plays Addy
Who is Addy? Another member of Kate’s original storm chasing team.
As a seasoned movie critic, I’ve been intrigued by Kiernan Shipka’s performances ever since she captivated audiences as Sally Draper in Mad Men. Later, she showcased her talent as the lead in The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. In the realm of cinema, you can find her in films such as The Blackcoat’s Daughter, Totally Killer, and most recently, Longlegs.
David Corenswet plays Scott
Who exactly is Scott? He’s Javi’s business associate, but instead of prioritizing the safety of civilization from imminent tornado threats, he seems to be more focused on keeping their demanding investors content.
Has David Corenswet been in anything else besides his upcoming role as Clark Kent/Superman in James Gunn’s revamped DC Universe? Yes, he has! He’s also starred in the Ryan Murphy series The Politician and Hollywood, as well as Ti West’s movie Pearl.
Twisters is now showing in UK cinemas on Wednesday 17th July 2024.
