Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
Months after Jason Momoa backed off starring in the upcoming Helldivers movie, a new headliner has reportedly emerged in Alan Ritchson. Per the Hollywood Reporter, the Reacher star is currently in talks, though Sony’s currently keeping mum on the possibility. If it happened, it’d be an interesting trajectory for the actor: along with the Prime Video show, he recently starred in Netflix’s War Machine, where he played a prospective Army Ranger fighting an alien robot. <iframe title="WAR MACHINE | Official Trailer | Netflix" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/AFuE1LRxm80?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin"…
