What Happens In The Reacher Season 3 Teaser Trailer
Reacher Is Easily Slapped Down
The teaser, even though it’s brief, offers plenty of the action that audiences have come to expect from the Nick Santora-created action drama. It begins with Reacher saying that he’s been waiting for this moment, teasing explosions, cars crashing into each other, and the usual dose of Ritchson’s character delivering pain. But the main focus of the teaser is to introducePaulie, who is played by a bodybuilderknown as the Dutch Giant.
Reacherseason 3 consists of eight episodes, with the finale streaming on March 27.
The teaser shows Jack punching Paulie in the stomach. It has no impact, withPaulie slapping Reacher down. Ritchson’s character easily falls to the ground from there, with blood starting to drip from his nose. Reacher can be heard telling Neagley over the phone that Paulie is twice his size. Mildly curious, she responds: “The last time I saw a guy twice your size was on Mount Rushmore.” But the trailer does end by showing that Reacher has landed a successful punch.
Our Take On Reacher Season 3’s Teaser
It Looks Promising
One of the complaints about season 2 was that the main character and his supporting cohort were a little too overpowered. It is risky to judge a coming attraction by its trailers, which are edited to illicit specific reactions. But if the upcoming installment is a little bit funnier and a little less self-serious, it would be an improvement for the Prime Video hit. Especially withReacherseason 4 confirmed and aNeagley spinoffon the way.
