Michael Peña's character Domingo "Ding" Chavez in Prime Video's Jack Ryan was rumored to have his own spinoff show after the final season, but Peña has recently provided an update. In an interview with Collider, Peña discusses the status of the reported spinoff, suggesting that while it remains a possibility, it is not guaranteed. Here is Peña's full comment:
What To Expect From A Potential Ding Chavez Jack Ryan Spinoff
: The decision ultimately lies with the fans and Amazon. Various individuals are involved in the process, but if the audience expresses their desire for more, they may have a say in the matter. Therefore, the ultimate decision rests in their hands.Chavez has played a significant role in multiple of Clancy's novels and has made supporting appearances in previous Jack Ryan adaptations. However, he has never truly been the main focus. The exciting news of a potential Ding Chavez Jack Ryan spinoff was positively received. Although there has been no official progress on the show since its initial announcement in May, the series has the potential to expand the franchise into a vast world.
Chavez, an essential character in Clancy's Rainbow Six book series, could play a significant role in connecting the Rainbow Six movie to the already released Without Remorse and its character, Peña. The Rainbow Six movie, led by Michael B. Jordan and directed by Chad Stahelski, is confirmed to be in progress. However, due to Stahelski's involvement in other projects, such as the Ghosts of Tsushima movie, the movie's development status remains uncertain. Therefore, if Peña's character receives positive reception in Jack Ryan season 4, there is a possibility that his spinoff could be approved and released before the Rainbow Six movie, serving as a bridge to connect Jack Ryan and the broader Clancy universe that Amazon intends to build.
