However, while Sten has appeared in 20 episodes, second only to Ritchson himself, they were reportedly filming a different show.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Upcoming Reacher spin-off, Neagly, was apparently the focus here, but it appears that Ritchson will make at least one crossover appearance in the future show.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Some of the film crew can be seen <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/BigRed_House\/status\/1924175920601899304\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:in this photo;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">in this photo<\/a> of the duo at the game:<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Not surprisingly, the reactions poured in from fans of the Cubs and the popular television show. Even before it was pointed out that they were filming, fans stated how apparent it seemed that the two weren&#8217;t just in attendance to check out the game, and that it looked as though they were doing a scene.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;Are they filming cause he\u2019s straight in character as Reacher. I think they\u2019re filming,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/AuthorTCManning\/status\/1924139947457433683\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:said one fan;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">said one fan<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;They look like they are in character,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/CashHighwayy\/status\/1924188275423457583\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:said another;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">said another<\/a> with a crying laughing emoji.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;they were definitely filming a scene + used all of the fans for free extras,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/NessyTheRilla\/status\/1924329768348012860\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:joked another fan;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">joked another fan<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;That&#8217;s not the cast; that&#8217;s Reacher and Neagley on a surveillance job,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ClausVistesen\/status\/1924411780182208976\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:read a comment;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">read a comment<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Other fans chimed in while joking about how huge Ritchson is in real life, along with how terrified they&#8217;d be sitting there if they didn&#8217;t know filming was happening.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;That guy is huge, lol,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/macun81\/status\/1924325083763400973\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:said another comment;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">said another comment<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;I don\u2019t know but if I was sitting next to them I\u2019d be terrified that shit was about to go down!
