"Jack Reacher" will be adapted into an American TV series, Tom Cruise will not return due to height issues

According to foreign media reports, "Jack Reacher" will be adapted into an American TV series by Amazon Prime. The TV series is based on the "Jack Reacher" series of novels by British writer Lee Child, which was previously adapted into a movie of the same name, starring Tom Cruise.

The global sales of the "Jack Reacher" series of novels have exceeded 100 million copies, but the box office of the two films starring Tom Cruise were disappointing, especially the second one, which only had a global box office of 162 million and the reviews were mediocre. It made no sense for the film producers to continue shooting.

The casting for the TV version of "Jack Reacher" has not yet begun, but it is certain that Tom Cruise will not be the lead actor. Previously, Lee Child, the original author of the novel, publicly stated: "Although I had a pleasant collaboration with Tom Cruise, I later discovered that height is still very important."

In the novel, Jack Richards is a handsome guy with a height of 196cm and long arms and legs. Although Tom Cruise is a handsome guy and agile, he is not tall enough (Tom Cruise's official height is 170cm)...
