Alan Ritchson says Hollywood action space needs more everyday protagonists like Indiana Jones who was a professor not just military or ex-military heroes. Alan Ritchson: One thing I'm trying to do is hark back to the '90s, when you would get protagonists like Indiana Jones, who was a professor and an archaeologist. This was not a government-trained CIA operative. My production company has deals split across town, and we're working hand in hand with a lot of studios to develop the future action space. Weirdly across the board, everybody is making content where the main character is former military or current military. I want to tell stories with protagonists who are more on their heels, less invincible, and less trained. It'll create a whole new sea of content where audiences can see themselves on screen. We need stories where protagonists are everyday people like plumbers or electricians caught up in extraordinary circumstances, but not necessarily prepared for it. Maria Sten: Totally agree. Excellent.
