Alan Ritchson is carrying a lot on those incredibly broad shoulders right now.

The Reacher star has a number of high-profile projects coming up, and now you can add one more.

Deadline reports Ritchson will star in sci-fi action film War Machine, from writer/director Patrick Hughes, who is known best for The Expendables 3 and the Hitman’s Bodyguard movies.

Written by Hughes and James Beaufort (Machine), War Machine follows a team of Army Rangers who encounter an unimaginable threat in the final 24 Hours of the world’s toughest selection process.

It sounds like Ritchson will be facing aliens or killer robots or something, which could be very cool.

The project is set up at Lionsgate, but will be released on Netflix. Lionsgate is making serious moves into streaming, with A Simple Favor 2 announced for Prime Video this week.

As for Ritchson, he’s coming off the success of faith-based drama Ordinary Angels. He’ll be seen next month in Guy Ritchie’s The Ministry Of Ungentlemanly Warfare. He’s currently shooting Playdate, then has season 3 of Reacher, Fast & Furious 11, and The Man with the Bag, a holiday heist film with Arnold Schwarzenegger. By the end of this, we’re going to know for sure what Ritchson’s potential as a superstar actor really is.
