‘War Machine’ also stars Hollywood veteran Dennis Quaid alongside Ritchson. Quaid recently spoke about his time in Australia shooting the film and praised Ritchson’s acting skills and physical prowess. “Alan is absolutely amazing in this movie. He does a lot of physical stuff, like getting into the mud and doing some really intense scenes. It’s a great experience to watch,” Quaid said. While his character is a general, he jokingly commented that his role is relatively comfortable compared to Ritchson’s physical action scenes.
Ritchson, who has already established himself in the action genre with the ‘Reacher’ series, is now taking on new challenges in the sci-fi realm with ‘War Machine’. The film will mark a significant milestone in his career as it will introduce him to a different audience and a new style of storytelling. Meanwhile, Richson is also gearing up for ‘Reach’ season 4, which reflects his versatile talent and busy schedule.
