Michael B. Jordan to Star in Rainbow Six Movie
Black Panther's Michael B. Jordan will be starring in the lead role of movie adaptations for Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six novel.
When Hollywood's rising star Michael B. Jordan (Black Panther, Creed) was rumored to be cast in the role of Superman for upcoming Man of Steel sequel following the news of British actor Henry Cavill (Justice League, Mission: Impossible – Fallout) leaving the DC Extended Universe, we didn't give much fuss about it.
However, Jordan sure is going to be very busy soon starring in upcoming big-screen adaptation of Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six novel, playing as protagonist John Clark.

Apparently, Jordan has been roped in by Paramount Pictures to play the role of John Clark in their upcoming film projects Rainbow Six and Without Remorse. His character is of a former Navy Seal who turned into a CIA operative, debuting in a 1987 novel called The Cardinal of the Kremlin.
Without Remorse will serve as a prequel that will explore the back-story of Clark and Rainbow Six movie will focus on his time in a NATO approved counter-terrorist group named "Rainbow".

For years now, Paramount has been trying to tell an origin story of John Clark through Without Remorse, which Christopher McQuarrie (Jack Reacher, Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation) was supposed to direct back in 2012 to follow up R6 movie in 2017 but things didn't work out as the studio wanted.
Akiva Goldsman, who previously wrote scripts for movies like A Beautiful Mind, Cinderella Man and The Dark Tower, will serve as a producer for the film along with Corrin Nemec, Josh Appelbaum and Jordan himself.
