Tom Cruise is Hunting and Hitting in New Jack Reacher: Never Go Back Trailers

One successful action franchise isn't enough for Tom Cruise. Alongside the Mission: Impossible movies, the star is also turning the Jack Reacher films into a series, with the second movie, Jack Reacher: Never Go Back, hitting screens next month. Three new TV spots have been released--check the first out below and the others at the end of this story:

Cruise once again plays the super-tough ex-military cop Reacher, who deals with a web of corruption in the way he knows best--with lots of shooting and hitting. The film is directed by Edward Zwick, who previously worked with Cruise on 2003's The Last Samurai, and also features Avengers star Cobie Smulders. It is based on the 18th of Lee Child's bestselling novels, 2013's Never Go Back. To date, there have been 20 Reacher novels.

In other Cruise news, it was confirmed this week that the star's pay dispute over the next Mission: Impossible movie has been resolved. Pre-production work on the sixth film in the hugely successful series was halted last month while Cruise renegotiated his salary with Paramount. M:I6 is expected to start filming in April 2017.

Jack Reacher: Never Go Back hits theaters on October 21, 2016.
