Michael B. Jordan is getting his own franchise of big-budget Tom Clancy movies
In what we can only assume is simply the next step in a longer scheme to make poor John Krasinski feel existentially inadequate, Michael B. Jordan is getting into the Tom Clancy action hero game. Variety reports that Jordan has just signed on to star in a series of film adaptations of the military techno-fetishist’s beloved doorstoopers, and while he won’t be playing iconic Clancy hero Jack Ryan—instead stepping into the shoes of fellow “two first names jammed together” badass John Clark—that’s still the kind of retainer-shattering comparison nobody really wants to invite.
