Tom Cruise’s Exit: Who can be the next Jack Reacher? This might mean bad news for fans of the franchise, but unfortunately so, that’s the way the cookie crumbles in Hollywood. The plot details cannot be told for certain as of now, since there is no official word on how the makers wish to take this and approach the television series, but the long and short of it is that a third film in the continued franchise won’t be happening after ‘ Never Go Back’. Expect an intermixing of sorts, since the novels are not a tall order to be adapted across an entire season, unlike ‘ Game of Thrones’, say. More so, the stability of Netflix and other streaming and television mediums have often proven antidotes to dwindling returns on the films, so this is not going to be a first.Īs for the plot, one cannot be too certain since while only two of the novels have yet been adapted for the screen, we still have 21 more to go.
What order are the jack reacher films in series#
The TV series starring John Krasinski ended up being a hit last year with both fans and critics, and it is not difficult to see why the makers too would tip in the favour of telling Reacher’s standalone stories as an anthology series or in an episodic nature. While not much about it isn’t known either, it is pretty clear that the makers wish to take the ‘ Jack Ryan’ route when none of their films worked either. Read on.Īccording to latest reports, Lee Child has signed a deal with the television divisions of both Paramount and Skydance, the distributors and producers of both of Cruise’s popular franchises ‘Jack Reacher’ and ‘ Mission Impossible’, to produce a television series based on the character. In these circumstances, while a sequel would seem highly unlikely given the unfavourable reception, we decode all the news we have regarding what could come of the third film and whether it would be happening or not. Both films had a decent worldwide gross but ended up under-performing in the home circuit, while struggling critically as well and the internet would state that they weren’t adored by fans of Reacher or Cruise much either. The first one finds its allegiance in the 2005 Child novel ‘One Shot’ while the second’s in its title, ‘Never Go Back’. ‘ Jack Reacher’, the fictional brainchild of British author Lee Child and a bonafide badass, joining the long list of ex-marine vigilante arse kickers from the pens of a number of authors, has had two film adaptations to date, remarkably less than any one of the other action heroes mentioned above despite there being a wealth of literature devoted to him (23 books), both starring Tom Cruise in the titular role and serving as standalone stories dictating the character’s exploits following his origins.
