29 Years Later, Reacher's Spinoff Neagley Will Start A New Era For The Franchise

Neagley is not only the first spinoff of Prime Video's Reacher, it marks a major first in the franchise after almost 30 years. Lee Child's Jack Reacher books always felt custom-made for the big screen, but finding a 6-foot-5, 250 lbs actor proved too hard a task in 2012; hence, Tom Cruise was cast instead. While Cruise certainly embodied Reacher's intellect and ruthlessness, he was nobody's ideal vision of the character from the books.
