Summary
– Kiefer Sutherland’s upcoming album has been delayed due to scheduling conflicts, fueling speculation about his return
– The 24 movie was announced in July 2024, but there have been no major updates on production or casting
– Sutherland acknowledged his deep connection to Jack Bauer, further suggesting his involvement in the project
The long-awaited 24 movie remains in development at Disney and 20th Century Studios, but details have been scarce since its announcement in July 2024. Kiefer Sutherland has yet to confirm his return as Jack Bauer, but his latest comments hint that he may be making room in his schedule for the role.
During a recent BBC Radio 2 Piano Room appearance, Sutherland revealed that his upcoming album, originally slated for early 2025, has been postponed due to scheduling conflicts. While he didn’t specify the reason, his statement suggested that another project had taken priority.
“We’re trying to figure out when we’re gonna launch it, and we’re looking for a time when I’m going to be able to tour substantially around it. We’ll know soon,” Sutherland said. His wording has led to speculation that the delay could be tied to 24’s production.
Currently filming Tinsel Town, a Christmas movie in the UK, Sutherland mentioned he has another undisclosed commitment lined up after that project. With the 24 movie already eight months into development, signs point to it moving forward, and his involvement would be a major boost.
Sutherland also addressed his connection to Jack Bauer, acknowledging that fans at his music performances still associate him with the role. He expressed gratitude for their continued support, emphasizing that his acting and music careers have coexisted.
“I was so deeply respectful of that and grateful for that. I think what has really been interesting in this journey for me is, if you’re honestly trying to do something and doing it with everything you’ve got, people will give you a chance,” he said.
While his focus on music has been evident in recent years, Sutherland’s remarks suggest that Jack Bauer still holds a significant place in his career. With production on the 24 movie likely progressing, an official update on his return may be imminent.
