Alan Ritchson, known for his role in Reacher, has secured the lead role in the highly anticipated adventure movie Fortune. Described by The Hollywood Reporter as a thrilling blend of Memento and Raiders of the Lost Ark, Fortune promises a gripping storyline shrouded in mystery, with key plot details still under wraps.
In addition to starring, Ritchson will serve as a producer alongside the legendary Jerry Bruckheimer, marking a reunion following their collaboration on Guy Ritchie’s 2024 action thriller The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. The script for Fortune is penned by Neil Widener and Gavin James—writers known for their work on the Minecraft Movie—who adapted the screenplay from their own original short story.
Ritchson confirmed his involvement by sharing The Hollywood Reporter’s announcement on Instagram, simply captioning it: “So fun.” The actor’s career remains busy with multiple movies in development, including Netflix’s forthcoming action film War Machine. Directed by Patrick Hughes, War Machine follows the intense journey of special operations recruits who are rapidly thrown into an intergalactic battle to protect Earth.
Further expanding his versatile filmography, Ritchson stars alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger in the festive comedy The Man with the Bag. The film centers on Santa’s unconventional plan to save Christmas by enlisting a reformed thief to recover his magical bag.
October also saw Ritchson cast as the lead in the romantic movie Counting Miracles, based on Nicholas Sparks’ novel. He plays a former Army Ranger returning home to reconnect with his estranged father, encountering a dedicated doctor balancing career and single motherhood, as well as a solitary man with a mysterious past.
Additional projects include the action-thriller Runner from Expendables 4 director Scott Waugh, the ’70s revenge drama Motor City, and the upcoming action-comedy Playdate.
