Rainbow Six Movie In Development - Word That Ryan Reynolds May Star In It

Deadline is reporting that prolific producer and screenwriter Akiva Goldsman has added three new projects to his plate as part of a first-look deal with Paramount: Avengelyne, Ologies, and a live-action rendition of Tom Clancy’s long-running Rainbow Six series. It’s early, early days, but word is that Goldsman is courting Ryan Reynolds to headline what could be the beginning of a new action franchise, with Josh Appelbaum and Andre Nemec on board to hash out a script.

So far, so familiar. It’s no secret that Tom Clancy’s rich archive has been tapped for material before, and over the years, Willem Dafoe and Liev Schreiber have both played the part of John Clark in separate book-to-screen adaptations. More recently, Wonder Woman actor Chris Pine headlined Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit as Clancy’s other famous operative, but a lukewarm reception across critical and commercial circles has resulted in those franchise plans being repackaged as a spinoff TV series, one that won’t feature Pine in the titular role.
