Alan Ritchson has built a career on playing larger-than-life characters, but the road to becoming Jack Reacher wasn't exactly smooth. The actor has confirmed that he's been talking with James Gunn about the DC Universe, but he's making one thing clear. "James Gunn and I have spoken a lot." What does seem clear is that Ritchson isn't interested in accepting just any DC role simply to get into the franchise. Whatever Gunn and Ritchson have been discussing, it sounds like the conversation is far from over.
