‘Jack Ryan’ Star Joins MCU in Undisclosed Role
Sipa USA

Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan had a solid four-season run for Amazon Prime before coming to an end in 2023. As a modernized adaptation of Clancy’s series of novels, the streaming show combined good writing, decent action and wonderful casting, including some names that may not have been familiar to audiences before viewing.

While series lead John Krasinski was certainly a household name, Jack Ryan gave Hollywood vets like Michael Kelly and Wendell Pierce strong supporting roles that allowed them to shine. Kelly parlayed his success into a role in a comic book property, landing a gig in HBO’s The Penguin as Falcon family underboss Johnny Viti. Now, it looks as though it’s Pierce’s turn to enter the world of superheroes.

As revealed in an official project profile for Marvel Studios Thunderbolts*, Pierce has joined the film’s ensemble cast in an undisclosed role.

Recent rumors suggest that Thunderbolts* will serve to introduce the MCU’s New Avengers and while it’s unlikely that Pierce will be joining that team, the gruff demeanor might make him perfect for a government liaison to the team. To that end, he could be playing anyone from Henry Gyrich to nameless CIA guy #7.

Thunderbolts* will land in theaters on May 2, 2025.
