For many, Die Hard’s John McClane is the ultimate action hero, a no-nonsense New York cop who somehow always ends up in the middle of the action when he least wants to be.
Bruce Willis made the role his own thirty years and five films ago, but this week’s news revealed that a sixth film in the franchise will take audiences back to a time before John saved wife Holly and her colleagues from the destruction of Nakatomi Plaza.
And it means that producers are going to be looking for a new, younger actor to wear John’s wife-beater.
