In his Instagram post, Ritchson referred to beginning prep for his next role, which clued fans into the fact thatReacherhas likely already wrapped for its star. Ritchson has also been filmingPlaydate,an action comedy in which he stars alongsideKevin James, and he’s also set to reprise his role as Aimes, one of the chief antagonists, in the sequel toFast X-whatever that ends up being called-while recently he also appeared inGuy Ritchie’s riotously entertainingThe Ministry of Ungentlemanly WarfarealongsideHenry Cavillearlier this year.
