UPDATE: Tom Cruise’s blockbuster franchise, Jack Reacher, is making waves on streaming platforms, now ranking among the top 10 most-watched titles globally on both Paramount+ and Netflix, according to FlixPatrol. This surge in popularity comes as fans flock to rewatch the action-packed films featuring Cruise as the iconic character.
The original Jack Reacher film, released in 2012, grossed an impressive $218.3 million worldwide, showcasing Cruise’s dedication to high-octane stunts. Following it, Jack Reacher: Never Go Back saw less box office success, with earnings of $162 million and a mere 37% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, but it is now gaining traction on streaming.
Both movies serve as thrilling introductions to Lee Child’s renowned character, with the first directed by Christopher McQuarrie and the sequel helmed by Edward Zwick. As audiences binge-watch these titles, the franchise continues to solidify its status in pop culture.
In a notable shift, Cruise is set to explore new territories in an upcoming action film directed by Alejandro G. Iñárritu. Sharing the screen with John Goodman and Riz Ahmed, this untitled project has already generated buzz, especially after Cruise shared a behind-the-scenes look on social media.
“Today, I share the first photo taken last year during a rehearsal on the set of my new film with Alejandro G. Iñárritu,” Cruise posted, expressing his excitement about the collaboration and the Honorary Oscar presented to him by Iñárritu.
The new movie aims to follow a powerful figure who inadvertently creates a disaster, leading him on a journey to become humanity’s savior. As anticipation builds, fans can expect the film’s release on October 2, 2026.
As the Jack Reacher franchise thrives on streaming services, the excitement surrounding Cruise’s future projects continues to grow. With both films currently available on Netflix and Paramount+, audiences have the chance to dive into the action while awaiting his next cinematic venture.
