Kiefer Sutherland has it in for Jack Bauer!

“Kiefer actually wanted Jack Bauer to die, and we had many conversations about it,” says Howard Gordon, who ran the smash “24” series.

“But then there was an edict from very high up [at the network], and Jack Bauer is still alive.”

Dead or alive, Kiefer’s done playing the badass agent.

“The show is definitely over now for me,” he declares, calling the role a great gift.

“It’s moving on without me.”

“24: Legacy” is now slated to hit TV screens in 2017, starring “Straight Outta Compton” actor Corey Hawkins.
