The upcoming 24 movie has the chance to pay off one of the show’s biggest unresolved conflicts for Kiefer Sutherland’s Jack Bauer. 24 pioneered the use of the real-time format, with each episode representing an hour in a single, action-packed day. Both star Kiefer Sutherland and the producers once touted the real-time hook as the true star, but over the course of 24’s many seasons, it became clear Sutherland’s Bauer was irreplaceable. This was underlined when 2017 spinoff Legacy tried to replace Bauer with new lead Eric Carter (Corey Hawkins), but it just didn’t quite work.
