Paramount planning for Tom Cruise's 'Jack Reacher' sequel?

Paramount and Skydance reportedly are considering a follow up to last year's Jack Reacher, starring Tom Cruise in the title role.

Jack Reacher follows a former US Army Military Police Corps officer who is hired to investigate a case involving a military sniper who killed random victims.

The movie also stars Rosamund Pike, Richard Jenkins and Robert Duvall.

Jack Reacher recently crossed the $200 million mark worldwide, which makes it the 19th hit film for Cruise, reports Deadline. The studios are apparently "figuring out" a sequel.

Cruise can be seen next in Oblivion and All You Need is Kill. The actor also has signed for a fifth instalment of his Mission Impossible franchise.

In 2011, the 50-year-old sa! id that he will continue to make action films for a while.

He shared: "I'm just going to keep going, as long as I can do it. I love making action movies."
