Aldis Hodge is the New Alex Cross

[Deck Rickard]

From Amazon Studios and Paramount TV, Aldis Hodge is the new Alex Cross. I’m not sure whether that means it will be on Prime or Paramount+, but either way… it should be better than that Tyler Perry/Matthew Fox movie that came out a while back. Hodge seems like a better successor to Morgan Freeman. Bring it on!

Amazon and Paramount really like their thriller novel shows, don't they? Now they've got Reacher, Alex Cross, and Jack Ryan. For Amazon, they also have The Terminal List.

Cool. Interested to see how he gets on with this.

 

[Dave McFly]

loved him on Leverage he will be great in this!

Seems like they’re doing well?

 

[Deck Rickard]

Yeah, Reacher and Jack Ryan have performed well and I have to say they are both really good. I’ve also heard good things about Bosch, which I should really watch at some point because Titus Welliver is awesome.

Seems that way. Jack Reacher is getting a second season. Jack Ryan is about to launch S3. But streamers aren't up front about their numbers.

Alex Cross is pretty much a perfect fit for Aldis Hodge and I'm just glad the guy is getting steady work now. I've been a fan of his since Straight Outta Compton, and he can definitely hold his own against some really talented people like Kevin Bacon in City on a Hill or Pierce Bronsan in Black Adam.

Cool. I plan to watch Jack Reacher reasonably soon, like in the next 4 months and Jack Ryan maybe within the next year. Good if so.

Yeah, great to see. If the DC universe was in better shape it would be good to have him keep returning as Hawkman over multiple films.

Did anybody here watch Hand of God? That's the writer's last show, and I'm just wondering if this has any chance of being good. Amazon's track record with this genre hasn't been great so far.

Yep, liked him and hope he gets another shot.

 

[Hunter Rider]

I really liked Hodge as Hawkman and Alex Cross is a good fit for him and the books are ideal for serialised adaptations on a streaming service, wonder which one they'll use first as I think there's well over 20 by now.
