Owen Wilson’s 2025 Comeback: From TVA to the Golf Course
Owen Wilson’s career has enjoyed a powerful resurgence thanks to his starring role as Mobius M. Mobius in the Marvel Cinematic Universe series *Loki* on Disney+. Following the success of his MCU tenure, Wilson is set to headline a major new project that is generating significant buzz in early 2025: the golf comedy series *Stick*.
The Apple TV+ original series, which is scheduled to premiere on June 4, 2025, sees Wilson take on the lead role in a high-profile comedy. This move solidifies his position as a major draw for premium streaming content, following the career path of many A-list actors transitioning to long-form television. The show is highly anticipated, marking Wilson’s return to a pure comedy format after his recent dramatic and superhero work.
Beyond his acting, Owen Wilson remains the most commercially successful brother, largely due to his consistent box office hits like *Wedding Crashers* and *Marley & Me*, and his ongoing writing partnership with director Wes Anderson. This success is clearly reflected in the family’s financial landscape.
Luke Wilson’s Streaming Wins and Surprising Netflix Hits
While Owen focuses on his Apple TV+ venture, the youngest Wilson brother, Luke, has been quietly dominating the streaming charts in early 2025. Luke Wilson's sports drama, *You Gotta Believe*, which premiered on Netflix in January 2025, quickly climbed to the number two spot on the platform’s Top 10 movies list, demonstrating his continued appeal to a broad audience.
Furthermore, Luke Wilson is reuniting with frequent collaborator Will Ferrell for an untitled scripted golf comedy series for Netflix. This project, which also features Molly Shannon and Chris Parnell, is a nostalgic nod to their *Anchorman* era and confirms Luke’s strong relationship with the streaming giant.
Luke’s 2024 filmography also included a role in Kevin Costner’s epic Western film, *Horizon: An American Saga*, showcasing his range across different genres, from lighthearted comedy to major dramatic releases. His ability to jump between major studio films like *Horizon* and successful streaming content like *Merry Little Batman* and *You Gotta Believe* highlights his versatility and enduring star power.
The Shocking Net Worth Comparison and Andrew’s Pivotal Role
The difference in the commercial success of the three Wilson brothers is most dramatically illustrated by their estimated net worths. While all three have had successful careers, the disparity between the two most famous brothers and their eldest sibling is significant, yet it doesn't diminish Andrew's foundational importance to their careers.
- Owen Wilson Net Worth: Estimated at $70 million.
- Luke Wilson Net Worth: Estimated at $50 million.
- Andrew Wilson Net Worth: Estimated at $2 million.
The difference stems from Owen’s massive box office draws and his screenwriting credits, which often provide long-term residual income, and Luke’s consistent lead roles in successful franchises like *Legally Blonde* and *Old School*.
Despite the lower net worth, Andrew Wilson’s contribution to the Wilson legacy is arguably the most crucial. Andrew, the oldest brother, was instrumental in the creation of their first, career-launching film, *Bottle Rocket*. The short film that became the feature-length movie was a collaborative effort between Owen, Luke, and their college friend, the now-acclaimed director Wes Anderson. Andrew’s early direction and acting in this project set the entire family on their path to Hollywood stardom.
Andrew often takes on smaller, memorable roles in his brothers’ films and Wes Anderson's projects, such as *Rushmore* and *Zoolander*, and has focused more on directing and producing. His presence ensures that the spirit of collaboration, which defined their beginnings in Dallas, Texas, remains a constant thread throughout their professional lives. The three brothers share a profound familial bond that continues to strengthen, with Owen specifically citing his connection to Luke and Andrew as a source of strength in his own life.
