'Jack Reacher': Tom Cruise dropped from reboot because he is 'too short'

Lee Child describes Reacher as a massive specimen of a human being and Tom Cruise's casting for the 2012 film was met with a lot of criticism
PUBLISHED NOV 15, 2018

The 2012 film 'Jack Reacher' had invited controversy after casting Tom Cruise as the protagonist. Not because Cruise is any less of an actor but just because he is comparatively smaller in size as opposed to the protagonist in Lee Child’s popular book series.

Lee typically describes Reacher as a massive specimen of a human being and, because Cruise is only 5’7″, fans went on to question the choice. However, now that the film is being rebooted as a streaming TV series, it has been revealed that his "size" really is an issue.
