Key Takeaways

  • Kiefer Sutherland might return as Jack Bauer in the 24 Movie, but no official news has been released yet.
  • Sutherland is making a comeback to the action genre in a new movie called Sierra Madre.

As a hardcore 24 fan with over two decades of watching Jack Bauer’s thrilling escapades, I can’t help but feel a mix of anticipation and nostalgia. Kiefer Sutherland’s return to the action genre in Sierra Madre is like a beacon of hope for the long-awaited 24 movie. It’s been quite some time since we last saw Jack Bauer, and I’ve been secretly hoping that he’d pop up on my TV screen again, saving the world from some global threat… or at least my Netflix queue.

The much-anticipated 24 film is indeed on track, yet followers are still eagerly waiting for confirmation about Kiefer Sutherland reprising his role as the renowned crime fighter, Jack Bauer. A lack of updates might signal a promising sign, implying that any disclosure regarding Sutherland’s return as Bauer could be postponed until more details emerge about the upcoming film. Nevertheless, fans can look forward to Kiefer Sutherland’s comeback in the action genre with an impending movie titled Sierra Madre, which could potentially clear the path for Bauer’s eventual reappearance.

In recent times, we haven’t seen Kiefer Sutherland using his acting skills extensively, except for his role in 2022’s “The Contractor”. So, this upcoming movie might indicate that he is gearing up to reprise his role as Jack Bauer for another thrilling day on the big screen. Fans are eagerly waiting for this prospect, and Sutherland has often expressed his willingness to return to the character of the former CTU agent in future projects.

What Is Sierra Madre About?

In the upcoming action film “Sierra Madre,” Kiefer Sutherland portrays Captain Jordan Wright, who takes a leave from duty to attend a wedding with his squadron members. However, their peaceful gathering is interrupted by a ruthless Mexican cartel. Captain Wright must now battle against these dangerous foes and ensure the safety of his men. This film seems to hark back to the 90s action genre, which is not necessarily a bad thing. The movie is being directed by Justin Chadwick, who has made a name for himself in both TV and film productions. “Sierra Madre” is currently being filmed on location in Colombia. A recent image of Kiefer Sutherland from the movie sparked interest among fans as it depicted him wielding a submachine gun while running through a forest, giving the impression of another gritty performance similar to his character Jack Bauer, which is definitely an intriguing prospect.

Since the series “24: Live Another Day” concluded with Jack Bauer being whisked away by Russians in a helicopter leaving his fate unclear, fans have yearned for a fitting conclusion to Jack Bauer’s story. Unfortunately, it’s been ten years and there’s still no sign of this happening. The news that a “24 Movie” was underway in pre-production in July 2024 sparked excitement among fans about the possibility of Jack Bauer making a comeback. However, since then, there haven’t been many updates on the project, and Sutherland hasn’t mentioned much about his potential return. Nevertheless, Sutherland’s upcoming action movie, Sierra Madre, suggests that he’s ready to get back into the action genre, which seems to be where he truly belongs.

I’m federal agent Jack Bauer, and today is the longest day of my life.

Approaching the age of 60, Sutherland remains in top form, and Sierra Madre might serve as his prelude before diving back into another day as Jack Bauer. For several years now, Sutherland has transitioned his acting talent into a career as an Americana country singer, performing globally. His upcoming album, ‘Grey’, is slated for release in January 2025, and a tour is likely to follow suit, pushing the release of the 24 Movie further down the line. Nonetheless, once he finishes sharing his new music with an eager crowd and completes filming on Sierra Madre, it could be time for Jack Bauer to thwart another global crisis in the 24 Movie.

Ever since I hung up my action hero boots as Jack Bauer, I’ve been on a quest to find a worthy successor. The journey hasn’t always been smooth sailing. Designated Survivor was a thrilling ride that lasted from 2016 to 2019, but unfortunately, it got cut short after three seasons. Following that, my next two action series didn’t quite hit the mark, with both The Fugitive and Rabbit Hole getting axed after just one season.
