The Jack Ryan reboot is all ready to go. Kenneth Branagh will direct the film and be the villain as well; it’s got Chris Pine as the lead actor; Keira Knightley as the lead actress; and now the film has a tentative release date.

Paramount even has plans to make Jack Ryan (which is also the title of the film) into a trilogy. Oh yeah, there’s also a spin off titled Without Remorse, and the studio is trying to court Tom Hardy for the lead role. So to say that Paramount has some big plans for Jack Ryan would be an understatement.

There may be more to the untitled Jack Ryan reboot than we originally thought. Paramount has set the reboot to be a trilogy with Chris Pine and Keira Knightley all reportedly locked in a three-film deal. But some of the supporting cast members may prove that there are deeper layers to the Jack Ryan storyline.

Kevin Costner will star as the agent Jack Ryan reports to in the upcoming Kenneth Branagh-directed film, but he appears to be a part of a bigger picture. According to Deadline, Costner will also appear as the same character in the Jack Ryan spin-off Without Remorse. Christopher McQuarrie (Jack Reacher) has rewritten the draft for that film and is now ready to direct. And just to make things a little bit more interesting, Paramount is now courting Tom Hardy for the lead role for Without Remorse.
