Unlike the big screen adaptation of Lee Child’s acclaimed novel, which saw Tom Cruise playing the titular character, the Amazon adaptation found a book-accurate actor for the series. Considering Jack Reacher’s 6.5 ft height is one of his most recognizable features from the books, Alan Ritchson, who stands at 6.3 ft, successfully embodied the intimidating nature of the character.
But despite being huge in size, in the upcoming season, it seems Jack Reacher is finally set to be humbled by Olivier Richters, who perfectly embodies Lee Child’s idea of Paulie in the books.

Reacher is gearing up to welcome a memorable character plucked from the pages of Lee Child’s book Persuader as Olivier Richters has been cast in the role of Paulie, according to CinemaBlend. The actor nicknamed “The Dutch Giant,” who has featured in films like Black Widow and Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, will take on the role of a deranged bodybuilder who serves as a bodyguard for Zachary Beck, a new character played by Anthony Michael Hall. In Season 3, the story will follow the events of Lee Child’s aforementioned novel Persuader, in which Reacher (Alan Ritchson) visits the coastal region of Maine, going undercover in the castle lair of Beck, whose son is almost kidnapped. Fearful of his employers, Beck relies on bodyguards to keep his family safe, among which is Paulie. And based on Richters’ appearance, he certainly fits the character description as Paulie was...

Reacher's back -- unfortunately, he's not alone. Author Lee Child's airport-paperback novel series famously stars a hero that can only be described as a walking, talking tank. Prime Video's "Reacher" series has neatly translated the franchise's popularity on the page to the streaming era, thanks in large part to Alan Ritchson (recently the scene-stealing star of Guy Ritchie's "The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare") as Jack Reacher. A far cry from Tom Cruise's capable (if not even remotely book-accurate) casting in the two movies, Ritchson embodies all the physicality described in the original books. After two successful seasons throughout the last few years, however, Reacher is due for his biggest challenge yet ... speaking extremely literally, of course.
Reacher's greatest enemy now has an equally as formidable actor attached to the role. According to CinemaBlend, the hulking villain known as Paulie will be played by Olivier Richters in all his seven feet,...

Henry Cavill’s professional relationship with director Guy Ritchie has been a subject of interest in recent times. Previously collaborating twice, in the 2015’s The Man from U.N.C.L.E. and 2024’s The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, Cavill and Ritchie met with rather underwhelming performances of their films at the box office, both times.

DC Studios is developing Booster Gold as a TV series for Max. While rumours of production beginning imminently appear to be incorrect, it seems casting may be heating up as the Dcu readies itself for a superhero unlike any other.
In the comics, Mike Carter was a college football star in the 25th Century who ruined his career by wagering money on his own games. Forced to take a job as a security guard in the Metropolis Space Museum, he stole future tech to travel back in time and become a "superhero" (all while hoping to monetise being a good guy).
He'd later become a genuine time-travelling superhero and is a character who might be a game-changer for the Dcu. While casting such a complex character won't be easy, we have some suggestions which could do Booster justice both on streaming and in theaters.

We’re so used to TV shows releasing new seasons on a yearly basis that when it doesn’t happen, we feel almost insulted, don’t we? Most fans barely tolerate a couple of months in delay, but for Reacher’s audience, Alan Ritchson’s latest update on Season 3 will come as an even tougher blow.
Reacher Star Gives an Upsetting S3 Update
Recently, Alan Ritchson took to his Instagram to post a Stories post with a Reacher Season 3 announcement.

Hollywood actors had barely inked a new labor deal with major studios and streamers last November when the lights in Ontario film studios flickered on and local talent and technical crews eyed a quick return to work on American shoots.
But the homecoming for Hollywood after the grueling SAG-AFTRA strike has hardly gone as envisioned in the Canadian province, which is known for doubling for U.S. locales such as New York, Boston, and Georgia. According to Ontario production insiders, the province that once defied gravity as a booming production hub for Hollywood has come back down to earth, with production slower than expected and lower budgets on projects that are filming there.
“It’s been a slower ramp-up in business than most anticipated. But we’re starting to see a pretty good increase in business, especially in the past few weeks,” says Garin Josey, chief operating officer of Sunbelt Rentals Film & TV,...

At the Amazon upfront, Reese Witherspoon appearing in character as Legally Blonde’s Elle Woods wasn’t even the actress’ best effort of the morning. That came about 45 minutes before her presentation wrapper, when she scolded her You’re Cordially Invited co-star Will Ferrell for bragging about his romantic comedy prowess.
“I’m the fucking queen of looking cute while sleeping,” said Witherspoon, referring to that moment in every rom-com when one actor lovingly looks at the other while their eyes are closed. This delighted the crowd at the tech giant’s first-ever upfront presentation, as did much of star-packed show — once they got in, of course. Slow lines stretched down South Street, prompting a half-hour delay for the Pier 36 event.
“Thank you for whatever you went through to get in this room,” said Jennifer Salke, head of Amazon MGM Studios, when she finally took the stage. “I know it was a lot.

Get ready, folks, because the man with the fists the size of Thanksgiving turkeys is going to return ... slightly later than we hoped. According to star Alan Ritchson, "Reacher" season 3 won't premiere on Prime Video until 2025
The news comes from Ritchson's Instagram stories, where he shared an image with just the words "The biggest name in action hits again in 2025" followed by the title of the show.
"Reacher," of course, is based on the Jack Reacher book series by Lee Child, and follows a former Army military policeman who is also the biggest and strongest man on the planet; a large man who also happens to be smart as hell; a wanderer who travels from town to town solving crimes and beating the crap out of people.

Amazon Prime Video made its first upfront presentation to advertisers on Tuesday in New York, with the streamer bringing out some of its biggest stars to break some news while touting its original series, film and sports offerings.
Amazon took over Pier 36 in Manhattan, which included a large installation dedicated to Amazon shows like “Fallout” and “The Summer I Turned Pretty” as well as movies like “Road House” and their various sports offerings like “Thursday Night Football.”
Amazon’s first major upfront started half an hour late — the long line to get in was referenced several times by Amazon MGM Studios head Jen Salke and even “You’re Cordially Invited” stars Reese Witherspoon and Will Ferrell. But once inside, advertisers were presented a star-studded litany of projects and news designed to make a huge splash in the marketplace.

The streamer is already making news with a series order for a Nic Cage-from Spider-Man noir live-action drama, a Jeopardy! spinoff and a slew of sports docs including a third season of Coach Prime.

Guy Ritchie, Hollywood’s busiest man, is already setting up his next film. World Of Reel reports that Ritchie’s next film will be called Wife & Dog. The film is heading to the Cannes market in the hopes it’ll find more backing there.
That’s all we really know at this point. World Of Reel mentions that the film is said to tackle the subject of class like his recent Netflix TV show The Gentlemen loosely based on a true story – the top secret Operation Postmaster.
The Snatch director is quickly gaining a reputation as the hardest working filmmaker in Hollywood. In the last five years, Ritchie has released six films and a TV show. He’s also currently filming Fountain Of Youth with Natalie Portman and John Krasinski.

Marvel hasn't been having the best time of late and the shaky attempt to recapture lightning in a bottle that was "Thor: Love and Thunder" is a good example. Whereas its predecessor, "Thor: Ragnarok," saw star Chris Hemsworth leaning into his comedic sensibilities to great effect, even Hemsworth himself agreed that "Love and Thunder" was just too silly. But when the God of Thunder made his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut all the way back in 2011, the opposite was true.
Whereas "Iron Man," the film that changed Hollywood forever by kicking off the massively popular interconnected universe, was led by Robert Downey Jr. and his magnetic charisma, 2011's "Thor" was a darker affair that embraced the character's origins and delivered what was essentially a fantasy adventure with relative unknowns in the lead roles of Thor and Loki. In the late-aughts, Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston did not enjoy the superstar status they do today,...

“The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare” is a high-octane movie directed by the incomparable Guy Ritchie and starring Henry Cavill alongside Eiza González. It promises a thrilling ride through a World War II narrative equipped with all the hallmarks of a classic Ritchie production: meticulously crafted style, unapologetic irony, and cinematic excellence.
Much like Quentin Tarantino’s “Inglourious Basterds” (2009), “The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare” delivers a delectable mix of entertainment and popcorn fun without leaving a lasting mark. Yet, it doesn’t intend to break new ground or redefine Ritchie’s well-established directorial approach. Instead, it confirms his unparalleled ability to balance pace and polish the rough edges of his ‘rogue’ characters with an undeniable elegance.
Though “The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare” may fade from memory once the credits roll, it leaves an undeniably sweet aftertaste, making it a solid recommendation for a crowd-pleasing watch.

Ever wonder what it'd look like if a World War II drama was filtered through director Guy Ritchie's sensibilities? There isn't a single piece of generative AI tech out there that could possibly have come up with the result of "Casablanca" by way of "Inglourious Basterds," with a scene-stealing performance from Alan Ritchson, to boot. "The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare" perhaps wasn't the most Guy Ritchie film we've ever received, but it certainly was an entertaining enough way to spend an afternoon at the movies as the ensemble cast of stars pummeled Nazis for a solid two hours. Based on true historical events as depicted in the book "The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare: How Churchill's Secret Warriors Set Europe Ablaze and Gave Birth to Modern Black Ops," the action-comedy took a much more irreverent tone to the overall story of the first black ops mission in modern warfare.

Jeff Daniels has established himself as a prominent figure in the acting industry through his work on both stage and screen. His versatility is evident in the wide array of genres he has explored, particularly gaining fame for his roles in both comedy and drama.

Having begun his career in the 1970s, his career eventually took off in the 1980s. Back in 1994, he starred alongside Jim Carrey in the cult classic, Dumb and Dumber, which failed to captivate the critics, resulting in low ratings.

For years, the Christopher Nolan-directed trilogy has been beloved by my fans with the second film considered to be one of the best comic book movies of all time and changed the genre forever.
While the people involved in the trilogy have seemingly moved on from the franchise, some fans are still wondering whether they will revisit that Batman universe once again in the future.

When James Gunn and Peter Safran revitalized the Dceu, rebranding it as the Dcu, it signaled a major overhaul in casting. Ben Affleck’s departure from the role of Batman was no secret, and Robert Pattinson’s portrayal, while acclaimed, existed within the realm of Elseworlds, separate from the primary cinematic universe.
With nearly the entire “Superman” cast being replaced, speculation now turns to the next Batman actor. Three prominent contenders have emerged, each eager for the coveted role.
1. Alan Ritchson
Ritchson didn’t hide his desire to portray Batman; he’s been vocal about it, even expressing a willingness to shout it from rooftops. With the physique and voice suited for the role, he’s garnered a sizable fanbase eager to support his candidacy. For Ritchson, taking on the mantle of The Dark Knight would be a prestigious honor, given Batman’s intellect, array of gadgets, and supercars. As...

When James Gunn & Peter Safran rebooted Dceu and renamed it into Dcu we knew that pretty much most of the cast would be replaced. Ben Affleck also made it quite clear that he is not interested in playing Batman further and Robert Pattison’s Batman was part of the Elseworlds, meaning that he was never canon to the primary cinematic universe.
Now with pretty much 99 % of ‘Superman’ cast, the rumors have it that Batman is the next in line to be cast, and we have three contenders who are practically begging to be cast.
1. Alan Ritchson
Ritchson wasn’t exactly coy about wanting to play Batman, he recently quite literally told us that he is willing to shout it from the rooftops. Ritchson has the physique (and the voice) to play him, and he has quite a large fanbase willing to petition for him. Ritchson said it would be quite...

Amazon Prime Video’s upcoming series based on James Patterson’s Alex Cross novels is being renewed for Season 2, Variety has learned from sources.
The show, which stars Aldis Hodge as Cross, has yet to debut its first season or even set a premiere date. But according to sources, Amazon was impressed enough with what they have seen from the first season to greenlight the second and begin casting. Jeanine Mason has reportedly already been cast in Season 2.
Reps for Amazon declined to comment.
If “Cross” proves to be popular, it would be the latest successful Amazon series based on a long-running novel character. The company found themselves with a massive hit on their hands courtesy of “Reacher” starring Alan Ritchson, based on the Jack Reacher novels written by Lee Child. Likewise, Amazon’s longest-running series to date was the cop drama “Bosch,” based on the Harry Bosch novels written by Michael Connelly.

As soon as James Gunn and Peter Safran took over Dceu and rebooted it into Dcu we knew we were going to get a new Batman movie, ‘The Brave and the Bold.’ The biggest question on everyone’s mind is however, who is going to take over the role of Bruce Wayne, as it’s one of the most iconic roles aspiring actors can play in the genre.
Several names come to mind as favorite fan castings, most notably Alan Ritchson, who voiced his desire to play the character several times, quite loudly, and Jensen Ackles.

When Black Adam finally brought Henry Cavill back, fans were ecstatic to see Dceu’s Superman return, but unfortunately, the movie itself failed to make it big at the box office. Shortly after, Wbd hired James Gunn and Peter Safran to salvage the DC brand, which led to the duo scrapping the struggling Dceu in favor of a fresh start.
While many would agree DC desperately needed this reboot, some fans were disheartened following Henry Cavill’s exit, as Gunn opted for a younger actor to play Dcu’s version of Clark Kent. As a result, some started accusing the new DC head of screwing over Cavill, and Gunn finally broke his silence on the matter.

Reacher is, without a doubt, one of Amazon’s biggest assets. This action thriller series has been popular for a while now, and we already know that a third season, which will end up adapting Persuader, Lee Child’s seventh book in the thrilling Jack Reacher series, is currently being filmed in Toronto. And while we’re getting hyped up for the premiere, we have received some great set photos that show Alan Ritchson, the main actor in the series, back in action as one of our favorite TV heroes.
A release date for Season 3 has not been given yet, but seeing that the series is still being filmed, we probably won’t see it before late 2024, but a 2025 release date is much more likely, based on the timeline. Now that we have said this, let us see this great set of photos.

The phrase “faith-based drama” is one to strike fear into the hearts of all but the most devout, since it usually signals endless platitudes and piety with very little drama. There are touches of that in this real-life story, but thankfully director Jon Gunn and writers Meg Tilly and Kelly Fremon Craig have kept it to a minimum, letting the kindness and charity of the characters shine without too much sermonising. It also benefits from solid performances and a genuinely heartbreaking set-up.

Guy Ritchie is one of the most recognizable British auteurs, thanks to his bold narratives that are a kind of Quentin Tarantino-esque stories framed by British humor and set in a British working-class and criminal milieu.
However, despite his colossal contribution to pop culture, which rivals that of the aforementioned Tarantino, Guy Ritchie's films are far from box office success. While many of his films have indeed made huge sums of money at the worldwide box office, there are also plenty of absolute commercial failures despite warm reviews from audiences, such as RocknRolla, The Man from U.N.C.L.E. and the recent The Covenant.
The same seems to be the case with Ritchie's new big screen project, the feature length film The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. Although it was released less than a week ago, the box office numbers are far from reassuring, but the movie...

But despite a plethora of references, there was no sign of Dafne Keen’s X-23 from Logan in the trailer. However, per Insider, not only will she be incorporated into the story, but she’ll reportedly be the one to break the news of her Wolverine’s sacrifice to this variant.

Guy Ritchie has directed everything from low-budget hits like the crime caper "Snatch" to the $1 billion monster hit that was 2019's live-action "Aladdin" remake. But the director has also been behind some pretty big misfires, most notably 2017's "King Arthur: Legend of the Sword." Ritchie has been on a tear lately though, releasing three movies in theaters over the last 13 months. Unfortunately for the filmmaker and all involved, every single one of those movies has disappointed -- if not outright flopped -- at the box office.
This past weekend saw the release of "The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare" in theaters in the U.S. Released by Lionsgate, the World War II film took in just $8.9 million, placing fourth on the charts behind "Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire" ($9.5 million), which was in its fourth weekend. That's a relatively lousy start for a movie with a $60 million production budget. Granted, Lionsgate...

Alan Ritchson is currently raging as one of those actors in Hollywood whom fans just can’t get enough of. And the credit for such acclaim goes to his truly outstanding acting chops, coupled with his absolutely breathtaking physique. But despite this, the 41-year-old actor is yet to get approved by James Gunn to star as Batman in his upcoming version of the DC Universe.

Before he was Jack Reacher, Alan Ritchson was the tough-talking linebacker Kevin “Thad” Castle on the football comedy Blue Mountain State, a raunchy and hilarious mash-up of Friday Night Lights and American Pie. If you missed out on that cult favorite sports series during its original run, well, you’re in luck: Not only is it already available to stream for free with ads on services like Freevee, Tubi, and Plex, but it’s going to be available to stream uninterrupted (again) on Netflix starting Wednesday, May 1, five years after it was suddenly removed from the streamer’s library. Blue Mountain State ran for three seasons on Spike TV (now Paramount) and centered on a rather ridiculous fictional Midwest football team whose football team, the “Mountain Goats,” was full of ne’erdowellers who were obsessed with hard partying. The show ran for three seasons, from 2010-2011 but was canceled by...

While the worldwide famous franchise about a British charismatic spy is looking for yet another right candidate to bring the famous character back to the screens, the US has already got James Bond’s American version — not officially.
Though Alan Ritchson’s Reacher definitely gives a vibe very different from the one we usually expect from the Bondiana, the actor thinks that his character is some kind of James Bond — and, what’s more, his perfected version.
While talking to Entertainment Weekly recently, the actor revealed that he wouldn’t be very enthusiastic about landing James Bond’s role — and Ritchson has solid reasons for it.
Despite the fact that many British actors dream about getting to portray the famous spy considering it a top moment of their career, Ritchson personally finds the character a bit outdated and thus full of significant flaws feeling like “it's all a little misogynistic...
