The feature is helmed by Patrick Hughes, whose previous slambang action flicks include 'The Expendables 3', 'The Hitman's Bodyguard', and 'The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard' starring Ryan Reynolds in the lead. For 'Reacher' fans, this will be good news as they now have something to look forward to as they wait for the fourth instalment of the hit prime series.
In related news, Ritchson's co-star Quaid was excited about working on the film. "I had a blast down there in Australia for a couple of weeks," he told MovieWeb. "It was great, because I got to play the general, and I never got my uniform dirty at all. Wonderful. Alan was up to his chest in mud. He's really good in [the film] - it's going to be wild to watch."
Ritchson hyped the film as well. "Got like nine coming out, dude, it's crazy," he told Wired (via MovieWeb). "War Machine for Netflix. I think, and you heard it here first, probably gonna be the, no, not probably, gonna be the biggest movie that Netflix has ever had. This movie is gonna be a monster. This is the coolest thing they've ever made, guaranteed."
The 'Titans' star will next be seen in 'Motor City', set to release on small screens in 2026 after a world premiere in the Venice Spotlight section last year. The official synopsis reads, "Part operatic fever dream, part adrenaline-soaked action epic, Motor City is a visceral revenge tale set against the industrial backdrop of 1970s Detroit."
"John Miller (Alan Ritchson from TV’s Reacher), a blue-collar auto worker, has his world ripped apart when he’s framed by a ruthless local gangster (a supremely unsettling Ben Foster) and sent to prison. Emerging hardened and haunted years later, Miller sets out to reclaim the life — and love (Shailene Woodley) — that was stolen from him, unleashing a violent reckoning in the process." Ritchson will next be seen on 'Playdate' on Prime Video.
