Tom Cruise's JACK REACHER Sequel Finds Its Villain
After an extensive search, Paramount & Skydance's upcoming Jack Reacher sequel has finally found a formidable villain to take on Tom Cruise's titular hero. Come check it out! The Ed Zwick-directed action film will also star Cobie Smulders and hits theaters October 2016.
Paramount Pictures and Skydance Productions' upcoming Jack Reacher sequel, which has Ed Zwick (The Last Samurai) on board to direct, has found its lead villain in Patrick Heusinger. Details about his role are being kept under wraps, but his character has been described as "the hunter," so take from that what you will.
Heusinger joins a cast that is headlined by 3x Academy Award-nominee Tom Cruise (Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation) and is also set to feature Cobie Smulders (Avengers: Age Of Ultron), Aldis Hodge (Straight Outta Compton), and Danika Yarosh (Heroes Reborn).
Outside of his breakout role on Bravo's Girlfriend's Guide To Divorce, the 34-year-old actor has also had roles in Darren Aronofsky's Black Swan and on several television series including The CW's Gossip Girl, NBC's 30 Rock, Fox's Bones, and ABC's Castle.
Production on Jack Reacher 2, which is expected to adapt Lee Child's Never Go Back, is set to kick off this November with a script from Zwick and Marshall Herskovitz. In addition to starring, Cruise will also produce alongside Don Granger.
