Prime Video's highly anticipated final season of the beloved spy-thriller series, ‘Jack Ryan’, has taken the world by storm. Critics and audiences alike have praised the season, especially highlighting the exceptional performance of Michael Pena as Domingo "Ding" Chavez in the first two episodes that dropped on the service last week. 

Known for his iconic roles in films like ‘The Antman’, ‘Moonfall’, and ‘The Martian’, Pena raises the bar once again, captivating viewers with his portrayal of Chavez. As fans bid farewell to the franchise, Pena's presence proves to be a crucial and memorable addition to the series. 

Addressing rumors of a Jack Ryan spin-off, Pena said, "I have no idea if the spin-off is happening. That's between Amazon and the Clancy estate but I think the fans want to see it. I, personally, want to see more of Michael Kelly's character [Mike November]. I'm such a big fan of his work and working with John Krasinski was awesome too. But we'll see what the fans want."

He also spoke about how he prepared for the role of a villain in season 4, and said, "It's a great show and John Krasinski is fantastic in it. I  binged the first season in just two days and thoroughly enjoyed it. You don't want to mess up something that's like a successful train. So you study up as best as you can, and then you have to let it go. But sometimes that letting go can be a little bit difficult. That took about a couple of weeks. And then I felt like I was kind of in the rhythm of the show. And from what I've seen, it's good, I think people are gonna like it."

The first two episodes of the final season are streaming on Prime Video. ‘Jack Ryan’ season 4 is an episodic release with the series finale arriving exclusively on July 14 on Prime Video.
