Watch the first clip that features Chris Pine's Jack Ryan escaping a dangerous assassin.
As we near the January release for Jack Ryan: Shadow Agent, Paramount Pictures is pulling no punches in its marketing. In the first clip released from this reimagining of Tom Clancy characters, we are greeted to over four minutes of director Kenneth Branagh’s new take on the super agent. Indeed, much of it appears to be an early scene where an assassin, played by Game of Thrones’ Nonso Anozie, comes calling for Jack Ryan’s head while in an elegant hotel suite.
Jack Ryan: Shadow Agent stars Chris Pine in the titular role as a CIA analyst previously portrayed by Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford, and Ben Affleck. When a botched assassination attempt puts all eyes on Ryan, his boss (Kevin Costner) embroils Ryan and wife Cathy (Keira Knightley) into international espionage involving a Russian arms dealer played by Branagh.
