Mission Impossible 5 cast Tom Cruise is set to reprise his role as Jack Reacher on the second installment of the surprise hit back in 2012.

Jack Reacher 2 will be based on the Lee Child's novel "Never Go Back," wherein Reacher is being accused of homicide and fathering a child with a women he barely even remember.

Amazon posts an official synopsis of the novel saying:

"After an epic and interrupted journey all the way from the snows of South Dakota, Jack Reacher has finally made it to Virginia. His destination: a sturdy stone building a short bus ride from Washington D.C., the headquarters of his old unit, the 110th MP. It was the closest thing to a home he ever had. Why? He wants to meet the new commanding officer, Major Susan Turner. He liked her voice on the phone. But the officer sitting behind Reacher's old desk isn't a woman. Why is Susan Turner not there?"

However, Tom Cruise is yet to set forth with the filming of the "Jack Reacher 2" despite Paramount Pictures and Skydance Productions officially announcing his return for the sequel, because of his obligations with the upcoming 5^th installment of "Mission Impossible."
