Kiefer Sutherland may not be the lead of the new 24 reboot, 24: Legacy, but he will be watching the new series. At a recent Q&A, Sutherland discussed FOX’s reboot series, his involvement, and his hopes for Jack Bauer.
Yesterday, we reported that Corey Hawkins had been cast as the lead for 24:Legacy.
During the discussion, Sutherland stressed that the new series will work without Bauer:
I have said from the beginning that the real star of 24 is the idea, and I mean that wholeheartedly.”
Sutherland last played Bauer in the 24 mini-series 24: Live Another Day, which aired in 2014. The actor also mentioned that he will “be one of the first people who can’t wait to see it” even though he isn’t involved with the new series. Sutherland added that he hopes Bauer will get some closer, whether in the form of a 24 movie or a cameo in the new series:
I have no idea if the [24] movie will ever happen, or Jack Bauer might end up finding his way into an episode one day and clarifying all of that, or ending all of that.”
Watch the full interview with Sutherland below:
What do you think? Are you a 24 fan? Would you like to see a Jack Bauer cameo in the new series? Will you still watch it without the character?
Yeah me too if you don’t I going get me my lawyer not happy Corey Hawkins he is weak
Yeah me too I don’t watch
I want keifer Sutherland back right NOW I so mad at me I going to call my lawyer good
WHAT this is outrageous I’m not happy with you moron we want keifer Sutherland back this is not over yet bring jack Bauer NOW or else I’ll scream AHHH I don’t care about stupid Corey Hawkins he is weak and fool you moron damn you We want 24 episode on Fox now
Without Jack Bauer, “24” is just another show. Will will not be watching the new one. Bring Jack back!!!!
Not the new guys fault Jack isn’t on it. Kiefer seems to like it and he’s the star. CEO said First of all, we’re not talking about continuing the show without him,” she said. “We’re talking about whether there’s one installment that he’s not in. It’s not like they replaced him..it’s another character and story that could still have Jack written in it possibly.
this is like a james bond movie without james bond
Spot-on and well said.
24 is Jack Bauer. It will not be the same show without him. No matter who the cast in the show. I am fan of it for a long time.
