Chris Pine has a new wife. In Paramount’s upcoming franchise reboot Jack Ryan, that is, as Keira Knightley has been cast as the female lead in the film, directed by Kenneth Branagh.

Here’s the synopsis for the film, which serves as a prequel to the Tom Clancy series of books, which have seen a series of film adaptations:

The story centers on ex-Marine and Moscow-based financial analyst Jack Ryan (Pine), who uncovers a plot by his employer to finance a terrorist attack designed to collapse the U.S. economy. Ryan must race against time to save America and his wife (Knightley).

Director Kenneth Branagh also co-stars in the film. As The Hollywood Reporter writes, Lorenzo di Bonaventura is producing the film with David Ellison, Mace Neufeld and David Barron, who we know from the Harry Potter films. The film will begin shooting next month.
