Reacher vs. 2.20m Bodybuilder in Season 3 Trailer

Paulie the bodybuilder will be a worthy opponent!

We always need someone greater than ourselves. Reacher will he measure up to Paulie? Alan Ritchson returns to service in the trailer for season 3 (below) and already finds himself facing the bodybuilder played by Olivier Richtersfirst appeared in volume 7, “Persuade”, by Lee Child (2003).

Although Reacher is particularly tall and muscular (Ritchson is over 1.80 m tall), Paulie is massive in comparison, Richters measuring 2.18 m and weighing 159 kg. The boy works as a bodyguard for Zachary Beck (played by Anthony Michael Hall), a businessman whom Jack Reacher suspects of illegal transactions. And as the video shows, the former soldier may hit, but he is the one who ends up on the ground. “He's twice my size“, complains Reacher during a phone call to Frances Neagley (Maria Sten), who retorts: “The last time I saw a guy twice your size was Mount Rushmore!”

Season 3 of Reacher will launch with three episodes on February 20, followed by weekly broadcasts until the finale on March 27. According to the official synopsis, “Reacher rushes into the dark heart of a vast criminal enterprise when he tries to save an undercover DEA informant.”
