Jack Ryan is coming back, and he's going to look a lot like Chris Pine.

The actor, fresh off the success (and bloopers) of the Star Trek reboot, is in talks to take over the role of the CIA hero of Tom Clancy's novels, according to Variety.

On film, the character was first played by Alec Baldwin in 1990's The Hunt for Red October, then Harrison Ford for 1992's Patriot Games and 1994's Clear and Present Danger and finally Ben Affleck in 2002's The Sum of All Fears.

Pine proved he could reinvent an iconic role like Captain James T. Kirk in Star Trek, so do you think he has what it takes to follow in the footsteps of these three talented actors? Sound off!
