7 best Jack Ryan episodes to watch before 'Ghost War'
Krasinski wrote the film and reunites several series regulars as Jack Ryan faces an unsanctioned black ops conspiracy.
- John Krasinski returns as CIA officer Jack Ryan in "Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan: Ghost War," premiering Wednesday on Prime Video. The film marks the sixth installment and third reboot in the franchise, arriving four years after the original series ended.
- In "Ghost War," Jack and his allies are pulled into a deadly conspiracy involving an unsanctioned black ops unit. Series regulars Wendell Pierce, Michael Kelly, and Betty Gabriel reprise their roles alongside the returning star.
- Krasinski wrote the film and cast his friend Sienna Miller, stating he wanted someone to "go toe to toe" with Ryan. "She not only keeps us on our toes, I think she's running the whole show," Krasinski said.
- Director Andrew Bernstein managed production featuring challenging stunt work. Bernstein quipped, "That's why it's better being the director cause you can go, 'Michael go out there and cross that crane, and I'll be over here.'"
- Reflecting on the franchise's physical demands, Krasinski recalled a complete improvisation in Season Four where he was thrown from a Black Hawk helicopter into the ocean. His commitment to the role underscores the returning film's intensity.
