Jack Reacher: Never Go Back stars Cobie Smulders and Danika Yarosh discuss their action scenes and working alongside Tom Cruise.
Tom Cruise is known for kicking ass and taking names in action films. He prides himself on doing his own insane stunts and his latest film, Jack Reacher: Never Go Back, is no exception. However, this time Cruise is not the only badass on the big screen. Marvel's staple, Cobie Smulders, along with Danika Yarosh (Heroes Reborn), joins Cruise in rounding out this ass-kicking cast, and proving they all can hold their own when it comes to action and stunts.
Forced to leave his lone wolf identity in the dust, these ladies join Reacher on his latest adventure and form a dysfunctional and unconventional family unit. Cobie Smulders plays Susan Turner, Reacher's latest love interest, while Danika Yarosh plays a troubled teenager. We caught up with both gals to talk about what it is like working and trying to keep up with the legendary Cruise, as well as learning about the overall appeal of the Jack Reacher character/franchise.
Cobie Smulders: I do have a good bruise story. Danika, I’m so excited. I have a new story. We did this scene, where we break out out of prison, there's this moment where Reacher uses the baton to stop the door from closing and it was like a weird timed—like the door was obviously controlled by us, but there was this moment, I think the baton didn't stick in right and the door just like shut on me and it got me on my hip and down my thigh and it just really nailed me and I had a black bruise that went up my leg and my whole hip was totally black and it was day one. This was day one!
