Michael B. Jordan is getting another crack at playing Tom Clancy‘s John Clark.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Chad Stahelski, the director of the John Wick movies, has been tapped to direct Jordan in Rainbow Six, an adaptation of Clancy’s 1998 novel. The film will serve as the follow-up to 2021’s Without Remorse.
Unlike Without Remorse, which Paramount sold to Amazon’s Prime Video streaming service, the studio intends to release Rainbow Six theatrically. While no plot details have been revealed, the 1998 novel focuses on the secret international counterterrorist organization Rainbow, which is headed by Navy SEAL-turned-CIA operative John Clark (whose codename is “Rainbow Six”), and the complex apocalyptic conspiracy they unravel after handling multiple seemingly random terrorist attacks.
Jordan will also produce Rainbow Six with Elizabeth Raposo via the duo’s Outlier Society banner. Also producing are Akiva Goldsman and Greg Lessans via Weed Road Pictures as well as Josh Appelbaum and Andre Nemec through The Saw Mill.
No production start date has been announced at this time.
Are you down to see Michael B. Jordan play John Clark again? Do you think Rainbow Six will be better than Without Remorse?
