On the heels of Amazon’s Jack Ryan, another Tom Clancy character is getting adapted, this time for the big screen.

Michael B. Jordan will star as John Clark in a film series at Paramount, where at least two films are planned based on the books Rainbow Six and Without Remorse.

Paramount is currently meeting with writers and directors as Akiva Goldsman will produce.

This is the description of Clark, from Variety, who broke the news:  Clark, aka John Terrence Kelly, is an ex-Navy Seal-turned-operations officer for the CIA and would go on to appear in 17 novels starting with 1988’s The Cardinal of the Kremlin. Though mainly seen as a secondary character who helps CIA analysis Jack Ryan with more of the physical elements of any mission, Clark finally stepped into the spotlight with Without Remorse, which tells his backstory on how he came to work for the CIA. Clark was also the focus of Rainbow Six, which followed his new task force and its mission to protect the world from its greatest terrorist threats. 

The character has been previously portrayed on the big screen by the likes of Willem Dafoe and Liev Schreiber.

Paramount has reportedly been trying to do a John Clark film for a while, with Chris McQuarrie and Ryan Reynolds previously attached.

Jordan has a big, big to-do list, with Creed 2 and Just Mercy up next. Per Variety, Warner Bros. had wanted him for more projects, but Paramount got him with the prospect of a multiple film deal.
