Justin Hartley on Bride Hard and Tracker Season 3

Justin Hartley teases what fans can expect from his “tracker” character, Colter Shaw, in season 3 of his hit CBS series.
“I know we will reach the Nitty-Gritty why my mother hired this guy,” he said Variety Wednesday at the premiere of his new film “Bride Hard” in Los Angeles. “Did she protect her children? Was there an affair? Was the government involved? Was it strictly only my mother? Why did she hide that for us for so long? Why did she believe it was my brother who was involved when he was not? It seems that this gap and do what she does. It was just a strange thing to do with your children.
Hartley said he admires the mysterious element of Colter.
“One of the things that I like about our show is that it seems as if every time we answer a question, there are five more questions,” he said. “It’s almost like he gets deeper and deeper. I really enjoy it about our show.”
The new season of “Tracker” will start photographing in July.

In “Bride Hard” Hartley plays opposite Rebel Wilson – they previously worked with each other in 2022’s “Senior Year” – as the best man of the groom (Chris) who helps a group of mercenary crashing. Wilson plays a secret agent (SAM) whose coverage is blown when she has to accept the mercenaries. Completion of the cast are Anna Camp, Anna Chlumsky, Da’vine Joy Randolph, Gigi Zumbado and Stephen Dorff.
For Hartley, portraying one of the bad guys is looking to help the mercenaries, which interested him about the role. “I found it so interesting because he is such a worm and a buffoon,” he said. “To play something I have never done before, was fun for me.”
Hartley praised Wilson for her stunt work throughout the film, especially for the Vecht scene that shared the two co-stars in the film. “You don’t get much time to rehearse,” he said. “She did a lot of that choreography. She did all the hard work. I tried to avoid it or not to get out of the way. She did well not to crack, but she never did that.”
For the other cast members, watching Wilson was that an action hero also played a peak for them.
“I think it’s great,” said Sherry Cola, who played Wilson’s handler. “Women can do it all. We can manage the day. We can prove that people are wrong and break stereotypes. With Rebel she has built such an exceptional career. I am so enthusiastic that people see her in this way.”
The director of the film, Simon West, also complimented Wilson’s fight and stunt versions: “She threw herself in. She is a tough girl, and she wanted to do the action so much if she could do her own style. It is a kind of John Wick on steroids. She’s not a crazy hunter.
