Spenser is not an ex-con. Ultimately, whomever they cast as Hawk is what will make or break the reboot, although I don’t think he played a big role in Wonderland. I’ll have to reread the novel.
It is a bit odd they chose one of the Ace Atkins novels to reboot the franchise, when there are probably 40 or so Parker novels that were never adapted for the screen. While I like the Atkins stories, the farther one deviates from the original source material, the worse it is likely to be. I do lament the Virgil Cole movie was so poorly received (my reason for it is the horrible casting of the female costar) because I really like those novels.
