Cassidy plays a Boston-born DEA agent who is working with Reacher on a mission. Her role is expected to have action scenes as well, and Cassidy's black belt in taekwondo is sure to be an additional asset on this.

Speaking of her role with Ritchson's Reacher, the actress has said,

“I think initially she doesn’t know whether she can fully trust him. She trusts her gut, and her gut is telling her, ‘this is a guy that I believe in this moment when he tells me what he is telling me. And this is a guy that’s also willing to go undercover.’"Thank God he comes into her life, because this is a situation that has gone from bad to worse. In all her years in the DEA, she’s never had to deal with this … Reacher comes in and it gets even more complicated, even more dangerous, and even more entertaining for us to watch.”

Reacher is available to stream on Prime Video.
