According to Ritchson’s remarks at San Diego Comic-Con, the way Reacher walks is entirely unique and reveals the internal mechanics of his mind.

What to Expect From Reacher Season 4
Season 4 adapts Lee Child’s novel Gone Tomorrow and features complex action sequences choreographed differently from previous years.

The new season also introduces cast members Agnez Mo and Anggun, who spent weeks rehearsing an ambitious fight sequence that Ritchson describes as resembling an intricate dance rather than a traditional television brawl.
