Alan Ritchson’s stock was already rising before War Machine crashed onto Netflix, but that movie gave the fan-casting machine a whole new level of energy. Once an actor starts feeling bigger than the project they’re currently promoting, people immediately start imagining what else they could lead next.

Now, just a month after Ritchson openly teased that role as “the dream,” the movie itself is finally moving forward.
