Ahead of the show's August debut on Amazon, John Krasinski is discussing his role as CIA agent Jack Ryan. In comments to The Hollywood Reporter, Krasinski says, "I really loved the idea of playing a superhero whose only real superpower is using his brain, and his instincts. It’s very inspiring in the world of superheroes and capes and flying and shooting things out of your hands. It’s nice to focus on real people and real heroes.
