Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan star John Krasinski is stepping back into action as the iconic CIA analyst in Jack Ryan: Ghost War, a feature-length continuation set to premiere on Prime Video on May 20.
Directed by Andrew Bernstein and co-written by Krasinski and Aaron Rabin, the film picks up three years after the series wrapped its four-season run in 2023. The story resumes after those events, with Jack once again pulled into danger—this time to stop a radicalized military faction. Ryan—now a seasoned intelligence leader—is drawn back into the field when a covert international mission spirals out of control.
The official synopsis states that “Jack Ryan is reluctantly thrust back into the world of espionage when an international covert mission unravels a deadly conspiracy, forcing him to confront a rogue black-ops unit, and the clock is ticking. Operating in real time with lives on the line and the threat escalating at every turn, Jack reunites with battle-tested CIA operative Mike November and former CIA boss James Greer, their combined experience the only edge they have against an enemy who knows their every move. Backed by an unlikely new partner — razor-sharp MI6 officer Emma Marlowe — Jack and the team navigate a treacherous web of betrayal, facing a past they thought was long put to rest — making this the most personal, high-stakes mission any of them have ever faced.”
Familiar faces return, including Wendell Pierce as James Greer, Michael Kelly as Mike November, and Betty Gabriel as CIA Director Elizabeth Wright. Sienna Miller joins the cast as MI6 officer Emma Marlowe, alongside a supporting lineup that includes Mckenna Bridger, Max Beesley, Douglas Hodge, and JJ Feild.
The movie marks the sixth installment in the long-running ‘Jack Ryan’ franchise, originally created by Tom Clancy. The character has previously been portrayed on the big screen by Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford, Ben Affleck, and Chris Pine before Krasinski reintroduced him to a new audience in 2018.
“Jack Ryan: Ghost War” will be released on Prime Video on May 20.
