Kitsch now returns to his character for The Terminal List: Dark Wolf, a prequel spin-off that sees him take over the lead role from co-star Chris Pratt. “Then I had ten days off [before shooting Dark Wolf], so I was trying to gain weight and prep. Pratt joins Kitsch in the prequel, which sees Ben stripped of his trident after a split-second decision, and forced to join CIA Special Operations. “To him, that means: ‘Let's see what we're capable of doing with no leash.’”Less red tape means more room to play in Dark Wolf. “He trained me for Lone Survivor, True Detective, and four other projects, and was on [Terminal List] Season 1,” Kitsch explains.
