Per Deadline, Kaitlyn Dever is in talks to join the next Godzilla x Kong entry in Legendary's MonsterVerse.

Reacher season 3 trailer shows Jack going undercover and meeting his match

Jack Reacher stands next to a woman and stares in Reacher season 3.

Jack Reacher (Alan Ritchson) is one of the good guys, but he now must pretend to break bad in the Reacher season 3 trailer.

The DEA recruits Reacher to investigate a rug import business moonlighting as a criminal enterprise, run by a nefarious figure named Zachary Beck (Anthony Michael Hall). The DEA needs Reacher to go undercover behind enemy lines and infiltrate the business to rescue an informant. It wouldn't be Reacher without some violent action, and the titular hero faces his biggest challenge yet: Paulie (Oliver Richters), a massive henchman working for Beck.
