Followers of Reacher know Alan Ritchson can take a punch. The actor is dedicated to his craft, he is fairly the motion star, and we noticed him show all that and extra lately as Season 3 of Reacher aired on the 2025 TV schedule. Nevertheless, he is an motion hero exterior of the Prime Video collection too, as he confirmed off lately with a beat-up BTS video from the set of a film he’s engaged on proper now.
I’ll be the primary to confess that once I noticed the primary body of this video, my first guess was Ritchson was engaged on Reacher, seeing as Season 4 was confirmed earlier than Season 3 even premiered. Nevertheless, I used to be rapidly confirmed mistaken. He famous that he’s on the set of the film Runner within the first few seconds, after which went on to lament about how laborious it’s to kind on a pc whereas trying all beat up:
You realize, there are numerous questions and challenges that include filming motion. Nevertheless, “How do I kind with out getting blood all around the laptop?” was not one I had thought-about. It’s a good one, although. I’d think about the very last thing Ritchson needs is to stain his laptop computer purple, and I’d suppose his make-up artists don’t need him to smudge or mess up his pretend blood in any means.
Joking apart, I wager this film will likely be epic simply based mostly on how beat up the Quick X star seems to be on this clip. Runner is in manufacturing proper now, because the actor mentioned, and so they have been on day three of filming when he made this video. So, it doubtless gained’t come out tremendous quickly. Nevertheless, I’m nonetheless excited.
The motion flick is being directed by Scott Waugh, who made The Expendables 4 and Want for Pace. It additionally stars Ritchson and Owen Wilson. The 2 play a high-end courier (Ritchson) and a medical courier (Wilson), and so they’re tasked with delivering an organ to a 7-year-old that might save her life, per Selection.
So, it feels like a wild action-packed trip that will even most likely be humorous because the Reacher star reluctantly works to guard Wilson’s character and their treasured cargo.
I’d think about it’ll have Reacher-degree motion, too. Alan Ritchson isn’t any stranger to giving his absolute all to the motion, and he’s completed it again and again on one in all Prime Video’s finest exhibits.
Throughout Season 3 of the collection, for instance, Ritchson and Dutch bodybuilder Olivier Richters performed out the extremely anticipated Reacher vs. Paulie battle. The Paulie actor advised me that he and his co-star agreed that filming it was “probably the most bodily demanding factor” they’ve ever completed. The truth is, they went so laborious in the course of the battle that the Jack Reacher actor was knocked unconscious at one level, per EW.
Alan Ritchson additionally bought thrown right into a wall over eight occasions whereas filming Reacher, and felt like he’d damaged a rib after.
So, after listening to what goes into filming this collection that’s obtainable with an Amazon Prime subscription, you’ll be able to see why I used to be shocked once I realized Ritchson was trying all beat up for Runner, not Reacher. Nevertheless, after I bought over that, I began getting actually excited, as a result of I can’t wait to see this action-star kill it in each these initiatives that ought to be popping out over the following few years.
