⭐ EXCLUSIVE: WALKER, TEXAS RANGER: LONE STAR JUSTICE (2026)
Chuck Norris Rides Again — and the Legend of Texas Returns to Rewrite the Rules
Hollywood is buzzing as one of the most iconic action heroes of all time — Chuck Norris — officially saddles up again in the highly anticipated Walker, Texas Ranger: Lone Star Justice (2026). Serving as a spiritual continuation of the classic 1990s series and an unexpected bridge to the modern reboot, the film brings together three generations of Texas Rangers in one explosive legacy event.
Fans are already calling it “the most ambitious revival of an American action icon in decades.”
🔥 A Bigger, Darker, and More Personal Story
Years after stepping away from the badge, Cordell Walker has embraced a quiet life on his ranch, mentoring at-risk youth through martial arts, discipline, and the old-school Texas code of honor. But peace in Texas never lasts long.
A powerful criminal syndicate rises in Dallas — a new super-cartel led by the ruthless Magnus Creed (portrayed by Cole Hauser), described as “a calculating strategist with the ambition to turn Texas into his personal empire.”
When a devastating bombing targets the Texas Rangers headquarters, Walker realizes this is more than crime.
It’s a declaration of war.
⭐ A Cast That Sets the Internet on Fire
Chuck Norris returns as the legendary Cordell Walker — a rare comeback that has ignited nostalgia across generations.
