Reacher star Alan Ritchson is in talks to replace Jason Momoa on the Helldivers movie
There's a new John Helldiver in town (maybe).
Hollywood insiders are reporting that actor Alan Ritchson, known for his role in the popular Reacher series, is in talks to take over the lead role in Sony's upcoming Helldivers movie from Jason Momoa. Momoa exited the project in June, leaving the door open for Ritchson, whose star power has been on the rise since his lead role in Reacher in 2022.
Originally announced in February, the film also featured Justin Lin, renowned for his work on the Fast and Furious franchise, as the director. Momoa's sudden departure, though unexplained, created a significant opening for Ritchson, who has previously starred in multiple films but never led a major feature film. While some question whether Ritchson's heroic and muscular appearance aligns with the film's portrayal of unremarkable, anonymous soldiers in the Helldivers story, many expect Ritchson to handle the role well given his physical prowess and on-screen charisma.
