-
John Krasinski is returning as Jack Ryan in a feature film that continues the franchise after the Prime Video series ended in 2023. Filming has taken place in Dubai, with production moving forward under a collaboration among Amazon MGM, Paramount, and Skydance. This film is positioned as a continuation and expansion of the Jack Ryan universe rather than a direct adaptation of a single previous installment [IMDb news and related coverage referencing production in early 2025–2026].[1]

Reported plans include Andrew Bernstein directing, with Aaron Rabin (writer) and Wendell Pierce and Michael Kelly expected to reprise their roles as James Greer and Mike November, respectively. Several outlets described the project as the next evolution of Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan franchise, hinting at further expansion opportunities for the property [UPROXX overview and IMDb updates].[2][3]

There has been ongoing speculation about whether this feature will be released theatrically or primarily for streaming. Industry coverage from late 2025 through 2026 suggests a potential late-2025 to 2026 release window, depending on distribution decisions by Amazon MGM, with some articles noting a streaming-first strategy but leaving room for a limited theatrical rollout [UPROXX, IMDb coverage].[4][2]

In addition to Krasinski’s return, there’s talk of potential spin-offs or crossovers within the broader Tom Clancy media universe, including references to Rainbow Six and other Tom Clancy IP, though specifics remain officially unconfirmed as of mid-2026. Industry trade commentary has emphasized the franchise’s expansion rather than a single, standalone film [UPROXX; general trade coverage].[2][4]

For context, the original Jack Ryan film franchise includes prior entries like Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit (2014) and earlier film adaptations, but the current project is framed as a continuation of the TV-to-film trajectory rather than a strict reboot of the film series [general franchise histories and coverage on Jack Ryan franchise pages].[9][10]
