Throughout the years, viewers have been treated to a vast array of Bruce Wayne's, from Christian Bale to Robert Pattinson.

Hamilton police warn of movie shoot with fake guns, explosions
Hamilton police are giving the community a heads-up about an upcoming film shoot that may cause some concern — but shouldn't warrant any 911 calls. On social media, police noted that film crews will be working on a production in the city's North End, as well as the area of Green Mountain Road and Upper Centennial Parkway from July 20 to 25. Residents can expect to see low-flying helicopters, mock explosions and actors with fake guns, said police. 'This is a controlled, permitted shoot,' read the post. 'Not an emergency.' It's unclear what production the shoot is connected to, but the show 'Reacher' has been filming scenes for its fourth season in Hamilton in recent weeks. The Amazon Prime show, which stars Alan Ritchson as troubleshooter Jack Reacher, was the most-watched show on the streaming service when its third season dropped last year. Error!

Jay Baruchel drops out of 'Reacher' season 4, role recast with 'Barry' alum Christopher Rodriguez-Marquette
There's been a major behind-the-scenes shakeup on Reacher. Entertainment Weekly can confirm that Jay Baruchel dropped out of the upcoming season 4, and Barry alum Christopher Rodriguez-Marquette has been recast in the role. The news comes only two weeks after the This Is the End star's casting was announced along with the rest of the new season 4 roles (the only confirmed returning actor is series lead Alan Ritchson). According to Deadline, Baruchel was "forced to exit the series to attend to a personal matter." Rodriguez-Marquette will now play the major role of Jacob Merrick, a small-town policeman ripped directly from the pages of Lee Child's 13th book in his Jack Reacher series, Gone Tomorrow, upon which the new season is based. Jacob becomes Jack Reacher's (Ritchson) No. 1 ally in his new mission. Gone Tomorrow kicks off when Reacher witnesses a suicide on the subway in New York. He soon discovers the woman who killed herself was Pentagon staffer Susan Mark, who was caught up in a larger conspiracy involving a corrupt politician, Al Qaeda terrorists, and countless murders. Reacher must work against the clock with Susan's brother Jacob to solve the mystery of why Susan killed herself, find her missing son Peter, and ultimately save his own life when he gets caught up with dark forces with almost unlimited power. Rodriguez-Marquette joins the previously announced season 4 cast additions including GLOW alum Sydelle Noel, My Life With the Walter Boys star Marc Blucas, Alias alum Kevin Weisman, Indonesian singers Agnez Mo and Anggun, The Expanse alum Kathleen Robertson, and Poker Face's Kevin known for his recurring role on HBO's Barry, Rodriguez-Marquette's other TV appearances include Mozart in the Jungle, Joan of Arcadia, Even Stevens, Weeds, Lucifer, and Beverly Hills, 90210, among others. He has also been in films including I Hate the Man in My Basement, Chokeslam, Broken Horses, and Fear, Inc. A premiere date for Reacher season 4 has not yet been announced.

Reacher Season 4: Release date rumors, cast updates and what to expect next
By Aman Shukla Published on June 28, 2025, 18:00 IST Last updated June 28, 2025, 11:16 IST Reacher fans, buckle up! The action-packed Prime Video series, led by Alan Ritchson's unstoppable Jack Reacher, has everyone hyped for Season 4 after that jaw-dropping Season 3 finale. With no official word on a premiere date yet, whispers about the cast, and a juicy new story on the horizon, there's plenty to unpack. Here's the latest scoop on Reacher Season 4—release date rumors, who's in the lineup, and what kind of chaos Reacher's diving into this time. When's Reacher Season 4 Hitting Screens? No confirmed release date has dropped, which is honestly a bit maddening for fans dying to see Reacher back in action. But here's what's known: Prime Video renewed the show in October 2024, before Season 3 even premiered on February 20, 2025. Filming kicked off in Philadelphia in June 2025, and production's rolling along as of now. Past seasons give a rough idea of the timeline. Reacher usually takes 12 to 15 months from the start of filming to premiere. The gap between Season 1 and Season 2 stretched to 22 months because of industry strikes, but Season 3 closed the gap to about 14 months. So, expect Season 4 to land sometime between April and October 2026. Some online chatter points to a late 2026 or early 2027 debut, especially if the Neagley spin-off (more on that later) shakes up the schedule. For now, mid-2026 feels like a solid guess. Stay patient, folks—it'll be worth it! Reacher Season 4 Expected Cast Reacher loves switching things up, with Jack wandering into new towns and meeting fresh faces each season. That means a mostly new cast every time, though a couple of favorites tend to stick around. Here's the rundown on who's returning and who's joining the fray. Returning Stars Alan Ritchson as Jack Reacher : The man himself, Ritchson's back as the towering, sharp-minded drifter who solves problems with brains and brawn. He's teased Season 4 as possibly the 'best yet,' and that's got fans buzzing. Maria Sten as Frances Neagley (probably): Neagley, Reacher's tough-as-hell Army pal, has shown up in every season so far. Nothing's set in stone for Season 4, but with her own spin-off in the works, a cameo or bigger role seems likely. Fresh Faces for Season 4 The new season's packing a stacked cast, per reports from Variety and Deadline in June 2025. Check out who's joining: Jay Baruchel as Jacob Merrick : A cop crossing paths with Reacher in whatever mess unfolds. Sydelle Noel as Tamara Green : A detective who'll likely be deep in the season's mystery. Agnez Mo as Lila Hoth : A young Indonesian woman hunting for her American father in Philly—sounds like a big plot driver. Anggun : Details on her role are hush-hush, but expect something intriguing. Kevin Corrigan as Detective Docherty : Tamara's partner, probably digging into the same case. Kevin Weisman as Russell Plum : A journalist poking around for a story, bound to stir up trouble. Marc Blucas as John Samson : A Congressman tangled in some shady dealings. Kathleen Robertson as Elsbeth Samson: John's wife, likely tied to the political intrigue. This lineup hints at a wild, twisty story mixing cops, politicians, and personal quests. Since Reacher tends to wrap up supporting characters' arcs each season, don't expect Season 3 folks like Anthony Michael Hall's Zachary Beck or Brian Tee's Quinn to return—their stories ended with a bang. That said, Sonya Cassidy's Susan Duffy from Season 3 might sneak in for a cameo, given her spark with Reacher. What to Expect in Reacher Season 4 Here's where things get spicy. Season 4's adapting Gone Tomorrow , the 13th book in Lee Child's Reacher series. A teaser on the show's Instagram showed a Season 4 script on a New York City subway seat, tying directly to the book's opening. The official logline sets it up like this: 'New York City. Two in the morning. A subway car heading uptown. Jack Reacher, plus five other passengers. Four are okay. The fifth isn't. And if you think Reacher isn't going to get involved . . . then you don't know Jack.' Talk about a hook! In Gone Tomorrow , Reacher's on a late-night subway ride when he spots a woman, Susan Mark, acting like a potential suicide bomber. When he approaches, she takes her own life, kicking off a crazy chain of events. Soon, he's neck-deep in a conspiracy stretching from New York to D.C., California, and even Afghanistan, facing off against some seriously dangerous players. The logline mentions 'ruthless foes from the highest echelons of power,' so expect a high-stakes game of cat and mouse. Ahmedabad Plane Crash Aman Shukla is a post-graduate in mass communication .
