Reacher star Alan Ritchson has revealed in an interview that fellow Christians call him out for the behaviour of its characters.Since 2022, Ritchson has played the title role in Reacher, a television adaptation of the Jack Reacher novels by Lee Child. The character is a drifted and former U.S. Army military policeman who travels the country solving injustice.

Jack Reacher author Lee Child has said casting Tom Cruise in the film adaptation was a “mistake” due to his lack of “physicality”.Cruise played the vigilante former US Army military policeman in the 2012 film version of Child’s novels, and its 2016 sequel Jack Reacher: Never Go Back.The casting proved controversial at the time, due to the original character being described as being “extremely broad”, “blond” and “standing at 6’5””. Cruise is 5’7” and was considered by many fans of the books not to be an appropriate choice for the role.In a new interview with Metro, Child spoke about Cruise’s involvement in the films while promoting the third season of the Amazon Prime Video series Reacher. “In one of the Tom Cruise movies, there’s a line where the detective goes to the motel and says, ‘I’m looking for a guy who could kill someone with one punch,’ and they point to Tom Cruise, which is not really all that plausible,” he said.Comparing him to Alan Ritchson, who plays the character in Reacher, he continued: “Finally, we’ve incorporated the physicality in a way that really matches the character.

Reacher is based on the books by Lee Childs, and has become one of the streaming service’s most popular titles. Ritchson plays the title role, a former US military operative who became a drifter, travelling town to town righting wrongs and trying to escape his past.Season three is based on Persuader, the seventh Jack Reacher novel, and sees the character entering the dark underbelly of a criminal organisation when he attempts to rescue a DEA informant.

The industry is not regulated, and it’s a widely known secret that if you’re hired on a job, you’re basically being passed off to a photographer to be trafficked,” he said. “The number of times and situations where I was put in horrific environments where sexual abuse was the goal and the paycheque that you were desperate for in order to survive was the carrot, I can’t count on two hands.

Amazon Prime Video‘s Jack Reacher series have been revealed.The TV adaptation of Lee Child’s novel, which stars Alan Ritchson as the former military police officer, debuted on the streamer in 2022 and is now close to finishing its second season.The first season of Reacher was based on Child’s debut novel, Killing Poor, first published in 1997, while the second depicted the events of his 11th book in the series, Bad Luck and Trouble.Now, Ritchson has announced that the upcoming third season will adapt Child’s novel Persuader, the seventh book in the Jack Reacher franchise that was first published in 2003.Sharing the news in an Instagram video, Ritchson said: “Here comes the big reveal. This year’s book for Jack Reacher takes place in Maine.

As the year winds down and certain shows have been pushed due to the previous WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, the December lineup for television is relatively quiet this year, at least compared to the film slate. The lack of clutter, however, allows for some smaller or more niche titles to be given their due, even if we have to wait for some of the bigger returns and premieres to arrive in the new year.

Season two of Prime Video’s adrenaline-fueled action series “Reacher” hasn’t even aired yet—not til December 15—but no matter, Amazon Studios is already moving forward with a third season. Today, from the set of season three, Prime Video announced the early “Reacher” renewal at Amazon’s CCXP panel in São Paulo, Brazil.

“Reacher” is a throwback series. No, it doesn’t take place in the past—it is very much a modern setting.
