The Terminal List Season 2 teaser: Chris Pratt strikes back with ‘one foot in the grave’

Why is he the right guy? “Before he was a fugitive, James Reece made a career out of putting terrorists in the dirt. He may be exactly what we need for this fight,” says another voiceover. In a classic move from the state authorities, Reece is told that the president will grant him a full pardon for his crimes in exchange for his participation in the mission. “We’re ready to give you your life back,” says Freddy.

Reece is also reminded that he’s dying owing to a rapidly spreading terminal illness. That lends him a do-or-die-like immunity, even though he’s warned to not take chances just “because you’ve got one foot in the grave.” But as he launches himself into action, putting his body on the line, he insists having one foot in the grave is “exactly what we need” for the mission with high stakes. The lack of fear of death is exactly his superpower, and thoughts about his impending demise probably his Kryptonite.
