Willa Fitzgerald Offers Her Take On The Similar Backstory Between Captain America And Reacher

On the similar super serum backstory between Captain America and Reacher and what makes the concept of supersoldiers so intriguing to fans, Fitzgerald said, "I can't totally speak to Captain America, but for Reacher, he is a very intellectual action hero. He's also very interested in the truth, which not all action heroes necessarily are." 

She added, "There is a thoughtfulness to him as an action hero that is compelling and also, at the same time, an impulsivity — he also does stuff, all of a sudden, out of the blue. That's an interesting dichotomy juxtaposition to play with in a character — and makes him even more interesting than another more traditional action hero." Both heroes certainly have a depth to them, though Reacher is more than a little mysterious than Steve Rogers — America's superhero sweetheart. Hopefully, we'll get to see Reacher's mystery further unfold in a possible Season 2.
