Jack Reacher star Alan Ritchson compared his action hero to James Bond, but it’s not necessarily a positive comparison. He recently told Entertainment Weekly that he has no interest in being considered for the role of 007, even after breaking out as another action legend.
“It’s funny, I feel like Reacher is like America’s James Bond,” he said. “And I’ve never had so much fun playing a character. I love these larger-than-life, flashy action thrillers and spy movies and heists that are smart and ahead of the audience. It’s really great. But I personally feel like Bond – people are going to hate me for saying this – I love Bond, but everything is a bit misogynistic at the moment. It feels predictable.”
