Man on Fire (2026)

Matt Roush says...

Stepping into the formidable shoes of Denzel Washington, who first played the troubled Special Ops mercenary John Creasy in 2004, Watchmen Emmy winner Yahya Abdul-Mateen II stars in a seven-episode adaptation of A.J. Quinnell’s page-turner from Kyle Killen (Halo). In the explosive action thriller, Creasy is first shown in a self-destructive spiral, suffering from PTSD after a mission gone terribly wrong. Called back into action by his former CIA handler (Bobby Cannavale), Creasy gets his mojo back in Mexico City when he becomes the sole protector of teenage Poe (Billie Boullet, memorable as Anne Frank in A Small Light), the only witness to a terrorist bombing. The action sequences are outrageous enough to satisfy those impatiently waiting for a new season of Reacher.
