John Krasinski’s Jack Ryan Movie Filming Start Window Reportedly Revealed

The movie follow-up to Prime Video's hit series, Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, is reportedly set to begin filming early next year. The four-season series, based on Clancy’s iconic Ryanverse novels, follows the titular CIA analyst-turned-operative Jack Ryan, played by John Krasinski, as he confronts international espionage and geopolitical threats. Praised for its modernized narrative of the action-thriller franchise and Krasinski's compelling performance, the show ranks among Prime Video’s most globally successful original series, with both a Rainbow Six spinoff and sequel movie in the works.

According to a report from Collider, the Jack Ryan movie will reportedly start filming in January 2025 in London, England. Directed by series alum Andrew Bernstein and written by season 4 writer Aaron Rabin, the film will introduce some fresh faces alongside returning fan-favorites, including Wendell Pierce, Michael Kelly and newcomer Sienna Miller.

The new announcement of Jack Ryan's filming timeline affirms Amazon MGM Studios’ commitment to the Ryanverse. This will be the first Jack Ryan film since Chris Pine's Shadow Recruit in 2014, breaking a decade-long gap for the character in a feature-length project. The 11-year gap between films signifies a long-awaited return of the character to the big screen, albeit in a continuation of the successful streaming series. However, Amazon MGM has yet to announce if the film will be going to the theaters first or if it will debut exclusively on the streaming platform.

The movie is expected to pick up in the aftermath of Jack Ryan's season 4’s explosive finale that put the operatives' resourcefulness and resolve to the ultimate test. Krasinski will return to the world of high-stakes adventures as the titular character, joined by Sienna Miller as his M-I6 British counterpart, while series veterans Pierce (James Greer) and Kelly (Mike November) will reprise their roles as Ryan's closest compatriots. Although the plot remains under wraps, the London filming location and return of its leading talent hint at a seamless continuation of the international espionage storyline that made Amazon's thrilling political drama a hit.

Given the movie won't have the same length of production as a full season of its preceding show, Jack Ryan starting filming in January 2025 could give some indication of a swift release. While a same-year release seems unlikely, given the studio has yet to confirm whether it will be theatrical or streaming, the fact the show's seasons would typically release a little over a year after filming kicked off, it seems possible the movie will debut in late Summer 2026. With September only having the Mike Flanagan-penned Clayface movie scheduled, that may be the perfect window for Jack Ryan's release.

Transitioning Jack Ryan's thrilling story to a feature film presents an exciting opportunity to elevate the franchise’s stakes and expand its scope of global espionage. The January 2025 filming start suggests a late 2026 release, but whether the movie will premiere theatrically or directly on Prime Video remains unclear. Either way, the Jack Ryan movie is shaping up to be a must-watch for fans of espionage thrillers and Clancy’s enduring legacy. With a talented creative team and a record of success, the film promises to deliver the high-stakes, character-driven action that made the series a standout hit.
