Before Alan Ritchson assumed the role of the hulking action hero in Amazon’s hit Prime Video series, Cruise played the role in two films: Jack Reacher in 2012 and Jack Reacher: Never Go Back in 2016.
Lee Child has said that Jack Reacher readers were “right” not to approve of Tom Cruise’s casting in the film franchise.
The author thinks they have struck gold with Ritchson, who is returning to play the role in a third season based on Child’s seventh Reacher book Persuader.
In Child’s books, Reacher is described as being “extremely tall” (he’s 6ft, 5in), and “extremely broad, long-armed and long-legged”.
He’s huge, he’s implacable, he’s scary, and for all Tom’s ability in getting the internals of Reacher out, he is not huge and he’s not scary.
