Alan Ritchson Films ‘Reacher' Spin-off in Stands During Chicago Cubs Game
Imagine sitting in the stands at Wrigley Field for a Chicago Cubs baseball game, and in front of you are two stars of your favorite television show doing recon on something that sounds terrifyingly important.
That was the case over the weekend, as Reacher star Alan Ritchson and his former co-star Maria Sten, who played Neagly, were filming in the stands of a Cubs game, as Marquee Sports Network showed. However, while Sten has appeared in 20 episodes, second only to Ritchson himself, they were reportedly filming a different show.
Upcoming Reacher spin-off, Neagly, was apparently the focus here, but it appears that Ritchson will make at least one crossover appearance in the future show.
Some of the film crew can be seen in this photo of the duo at the game:
Not surprisingly, the reactions poured in from fans of the Cubs and the popular television show. Even before it was pointed out that they were filming, fans stated how apparent it seemed that the two weren't just in attendance to check out the game, and that it looked as though they were doing a scene.
"Are they filming cause he's straight in character as Reacher. I think they're filming," said one fan.
"They look like they are in character," said another with a crying laughing emoji.
"they were definitely filming a scene + used all of the fans for free extras," joked another fan.
"That's not the cast; that's Reacher and Neagley on a surveillance job," read a comment.
Other fans chimed in while joking about how huge Ritchson is in real life, along with how terrified they'd be sitting there if they didn't know filming was happening.
"That guy is huge, lol," said another comment.
"I don't know but if I was sitting next to them I'd be terrified that shit was about to go down! (Love the show!)," replied a fan with a laughing emoji.
It was a cool moment to see, and it had to be quite an experience for the fans attending the game. However, those fans around Ritchson and Sten were almost certainly informed of what was going on before filming.
