Now, Child said that looking for a new actor to play his hero on the small screen was on, and he conceded that Cruise did not have "that physical appearance" for the role.

"I really enjoyed working with Cruise," Child told BBC Radio Manchester. "It's a really nice guy, we had a lot of fun, but in the end, readers are right, the size of Reacher is really very important and it's an important part of his personality."

"The idea is that when Reacher enters a room, you're all a little nervous just for that first minute, and Cruise, despite all his talent, did not have that physical appearance.

"So, what I've decided to do, is that there will be more movies with Tom Cruise, we're going to go to Netflix or something like that." in streaming with a long actor. "

"And I want all the readers who were unhappy with Tom Cruise to help me and help me to participate in choosing the right actor for the TV series." We are restarting and starting over again and we will try to find the perfect guy, "added Child.
