Tom Clancy’s CIA analyst Jack Ryan has been successfully resurrected at Amazon, and now a second creation by the late best-selling author gets its own series: former Navy SEAL John Clark. Black Panther villain and Creed star Michael B. Jordan played the fictional hero in the underrated 2021 action film Tom Clancy’s Unforgiven. For the Film adaptation of the novel Rainbow Six, which served as the basis for a successful video game series, he is set to return in this role. The director sounds promising.
Michael B. Jordan’s Rainbow Six is directed by the John Wick director
Chad Stahelski will be the director and producer of Rainbow Six, and if you like action movies, you can’t ignore Stahelski. The former stuntman has at all four John Wick films starring Keanu Reeves directed. According to a report by the Hollywood Reporter, Stahelski replaces Italian colleague Stefano Sollima (Sicario 2) in the director’s chair, who had given part 1 a hard-nosed toughness. If you like down-to-earth action in a confined space, clearly staged firefights and routinely told revenge stories, you should give Merciless a chance.
So now Chad Stahelski is taking charge of the Rainbow Six film adaptation, which has been simmering in production hell for years. At one point, even Ryan Reynolds was in talks to play the lead.
The second part of the action series will probably not come to Amazon
In addition to a theatrical release, merciless also had a rapid release on Amazon Prime Video in 2021. In theory, Ranbow Six sounds like the ideal stuff for the streaming service, which has had success with similar stuff like Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, The Terminal List or Reacher.
However, the Clancy film originally came from Paramount. According to THR, the studio wants to bring Rainbow Six to the cinema and the service that has now started should be a natural streaming home Paramount+ obvious.
What is Rainbow Six starring Marvel star Michael B. Jordan about?
In Merciless, Michael B. Jordan’s Navy SEAL John Kelly had embarked on a vendetta after the murder of his wife and the CIA’s subsequent inaction. He ended it with a new identity and a task: As “John Clark” he should lead the international anti-terrorist organization Rainbow.
While details of the sequel have yet to be revealed, in the 1998 novel Rainbow Six, John Clark is confronted with seemingly unrelated terrorist attacks that are actually a global conspiracy.
There is no start date for Rainbow Six yet.
