The Paulie Showdown: Prepare for a Brutal Fight in Reacher Season 3 Finale
One thing everyone is hyped for is the inevitable clash between Reacher and Paulie. Paulie is Zachary Beck's massive 7-foot-2 bodyguard played by Olivier Richters aka The Dutch Giant. From the moment Reacher and Paulie meet in Episode 1 you can feel the tension building. Reacher even taunts Paulie right from the start setting the stage for a major face-off.
Lee Child himself mentioned that this build-up is intentional creating suspense and making viewers wonder "When is this going to happen?". And according to reports this fight is going to be HUGE. Olivier Richters even teased that it "might be the best fight ever created for a television show." High praise right?
Filming this showdown was no joke. It took three whole weeks to film and both Alan Ritchson and Olivier Richters really went all out. They were trying to make it look realistic and brutal while also being safe but accidents happen. Ritchson even admitted he got accidentally punched in the face by Richters during filming! But both actors powered through promising a truly epic and unforgettable fight scene. Maria Sten who plays Neagley is also excited for viewers to see this saying it makes Reacher finally look like a bit of an underdog.
Could Alan Ritchson Be the Next Batman? Reacher Co-Star Thinks He's Perfect for the DCU
Beyond Reacher buzz there's something else exciting happening around Alan Ritchson's name: Batman. Believe it or not there's a serious campaign brewing for Ritchson to take on the role of Batman in James Gunn's DCU. And it's not just fans talking. Roberto Montesinos who plays DEA agent Guillermo Villanueva in Reacher is fully on board.
Montesinos argues that Ritchson has all the qualities needed for Batman. He points to Ritchson's incredible work ethic his commitment to research and his commanding presence as Jack Reacher. He emphasizes Ritchson's ability to convey so much through just his eyes which is perfect for a stoic character like Batman who often wears a mask.
Montesinos even said "He would be the best Batman we've ever had." That is a bold statement but he backs it up explaining how Reacher's stoicism and complexity are similar to Batman. Plus let's be real Ritchson definitely has the physique for it. He is 6'3" and seriously ripped which is a far cry from previous Batmans but could be a refreshing take.
While it's just fan speculation and wishful thinking for now the idea of Alan Ritchson as Batman is definitely intriguing and gaining momentum. Could we see him go from Reacher to the Dark Knight? Never say never in Hollywood!
