Amazon MGM Studios is staying in Jack Ryan’s universe a bit longer with a new Jack Ryan feature film in the works. The film is set to expand the storyline from its hit Prime Video series. John Krasinski will return as the titular CIA analyst, joined once again by Wendell Pierce as James Greer, Ryan’s mentor and ally within the agency. Michael Kelly, known for his portrayal of Mike November, is also in negotiations to reprise his role, rounding out a cast that brings back familiar faces from the series.

Andrew Bernstein, who directed key episodes of Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan Season 2, is confirmed to helm the new project. Bernstein’s experience in action-packed, high-stakes narratives, including recent work on HBO’s Welcome to Derry and Netflix’s The Diplomat, makes him a strong fit to bring the intensity of the Jack Ryan universe to the big screen. The script will be written by Aaron Rabin, a co-executive producer and writer for Season 4, adding a seamless transition from the series to this new project.

Production of the film will be handled by Krasinski and his partner Allyson Seeger through their Sunday Night banner, along with longtime collaborator Andrew Form. The project is also backed by Skydance and Paramount Pictures, with executive producers David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, Carlton Cuse, and John Kelly. This high-profile collaboration brings together industry heavyweights who have previously worked on Jack Ryan, positioning the film as a continuation of the character’s legacy with a consistent creative vision.

The new film will capitalize on the Jack Ryan series’ massive popularity. Since its debut in 2018, Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan has been a standout on Prime Video, consistently ranking among the top three most-watched series globally on the platform. Following the show’s fourth and final season, which concluded in 2023, Amazon MGM reported over 1.15 billion viewing minutes for the final episodes alone, underscoring the lasting appeal of Krasinski’s Ryan among audiences.

Krasinski’s portrayal of Jack Ryan is the latest in a storied history for the character, previously brought to life by Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford, Ben Affleck, and Chris Pine across different films. Based on Tom Clancy’s novels, the Jack Ryan character has long been a symbol of integrity and vigilance, tackling global threats with intelligence and unyielding commitment. The new film is expected to honor that legacy while offering a fresh take on Ryan’s world through an updated storyline.

While Amazon MGM has not yet disclosed specific plot details, the feature film is expected to build on the foundation established by the series, delivering the blend of espionage, action, and political intrigue that audiences have come to expect from the Jack Ryan franchise.
