[3] Speaking about the finished film, Emily Helwig of The Hollywood Reporter said "Tucker's screenplay might have been the problem and that it may have been a better story told as a period piece." [4] Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune had issues with the "coincidence and improbability" of Tucker's script. [5] In January 2019, he wrote a script for a biopic based on the life of Angela Davis. [6] In November 2019, it was announced that Tucker would serve as a screenwriter on a remake of The Fugitive . [7] In August 2021, it was revealed that Tucker had been hired to rewrite Todd McFarlane's screenplay for the upcoming Spawn reboot.
