Jack Reacher star Alan Ritchson has compared his action hero to James Bond, but it’s not necessarily a positive comparison. Speaking to Entertainment Weekly recently, he said he had no interest in being considered to play 007, even after his breakthrough as another action legend.
"It's funny, I kind of feel like Reacher is the American James Bond," he said. "And I've never had more fun playing a character. I love those larger-than-life, over-the-top action thrillers and spy movies and the heists that are smart and ahead of the audience. That's really great, but I feel like Bond, to me personally – people are going to hate me for saying this – I love Bond, but I feel like it's all a little misogynistic and predictable at this point."
