Krasinski sets a Jack Ryan record
Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan becoming a feature film means John Krasinski becomes the first Jack Ryan actor to star in both a TV series and a filmand. Krasinski is the fifth Jack Ryan actor, after Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford, Ben Affleck and Chris Pine, but he was the first to lead a TV series instead of playing Tom Clancy’s CIA analyst in a feature film. But now, Krasinski’s Jack manages to check both boxes to headline a TV series and a movie, putting John on par with his Ryan predecessors.
It’s unclear whether Amazon MGM intends the new Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan film to stream on Prime Video or if it is planned for theatrical release.

Jordan, No remorse rebooted popular Tom Clancy character John Clark and assembled a film version of Clancy’s Rainbow Six team of special agents. ONE Rainbow Six theatrical film fronted by Jordan and directed by John WickChad Stahelski announced in 2023.

Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan Season 4 introduced Michael Peña as Domingo “Ding” Chavez, who is the mentor of John Clark’s Rainbow Six in the Tom Clancy novels. Ding Chavez could potentially become a bridge to John Krasinski’s Jack Ryan and Michael B. Jordan’s John Clark meeting for the first time in Amazon MGM’s Ryanverse.
