First trailer for ‘Jack Reacher: Never Go Back’ brings Tom Cruise back for more action

By Rick Marshall June 15, 2016

Cobie Smulders Dishes on Joining Tom Cruise for 'Jack Reacher: Never Go Back'

The subtitle for the upcoming Jack Reacher sequel is “Never Go Back,” but Tom Cruise certainly doesn’t seem to mind returning to the character he first brought to the screen in that 2012 film.

Paramount Pictures and Skydance Media debuted the first trailer for Jack Reacher: Never Go Back during the June 14 episode of Entertainment Tonight. The trailer was introduced by Cruise’s co-star in the film, How I Met Your Mother and The Avengers actress Cobie Smulders.

Directed by Edward Zwick (The Last Samurai, Blood Diamond), Jack Reacher: Never Go Back brings back Cruise as the titular former investigator for the Military Police and hero of the popular series of novels by author Lee Child. His latest adventure gets him tangled up with the Military Police once again when the officer who replaced him in the division (Smulders) is arrested for espionage.

The film is based on Child’s 2013 novel Never Go Back, and features a script by Zwick, The Expendables 2 and The Equalizer screenwriter Richard Wenk, and Love & Other Drugs and The Last Samurai screenwriter Marshall Herskovitz.

Along with Cruise and Smulders, the film’s cast includes Danika Yarosh (Shameless), Austin Hebert (Bonnie and Clyde), Patrick Heusinger (Quantum Break), Aldis Hodge (Straight Outta Compton), Robert Knepper (The Hunger Games: Mockingjay), and Holt McCallany (Blue Bloods).

Jack Reacher: Never Go Back is scheduled to hit theaters October 21.

3 underrated (HBO) Max movies you should watch this weekend (June 28-30)

A girl looks at a boy in House at the End of the Street.

June is surprisingly over, and with it, a great month for movies comes to a satisfactory close. You've probably watched Inside Out 2 or Bad Boys: Ride or Die or maybe even The Bikeriders. From blockbusters to indie fare, the theatrical movie business has been robust and healthy.

The same goes for streaming. Netflix had a big hit with Richard Linklater's Hit Man, while Amazon Prime Video recently premiered the latest bonkers season of The Boys. HBO and Max have been quieter, but their robust library speaks volumes to the streamer's high quality. The following three films are older, but are just as worth your time as new hits like House of the Dragon season 2.

Two men spy from a car in The Limey.

As we head toward the end of June, it's worth reflecting on how we want to spend the rest of summer. For some, that's going to mean enjoying nice weather or getting some time in at the beach. For others, it might mean escaping from the heat, at least for a while, to check out a great movie.

If you fall into that second category, then we've pulled together a list of three great, underrated, titles available on Amazon Prime Video that are all worth checking out. Prime Video is home to some of the best movies available online, but it can be hard to find the ones you want. These three will at least give you a great place to start.

The best Netflix original series right now

Eric and Benedict Cumberbatch in Eric.

The era of Peak TV was also Peak Netflix, because the streamer seemingly had an endless supply of new original series. So far in 2024, that hasn't been the case. Whether we'll ever get the same level of content again seems unlikely for now. But even in a reduced capacity, Netflix still has a few new additions to its lineup of originals.

For the month of June, we're adding the '80s-set thriller, Eric, which stars Benedict Cumbebatch. Our other pick for the month is Supacell, which is Netflix's new British series that remixes some old superhero archetypes. That's not a very big selection for fans who always want something new, but this roundup of the best Netflix original series really does have all of the top options in one place for you. All you have to do is scroll down and make time to binge watch some shows.
