'Die Hard 5' casts 'Spartacus' star as John McClane's son

22 February 2012 12:55 PM, PST | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »

A Good Day to Die Hard is still the incredible title of the fourth Die Hard sequel, currently scheduled to become next year’s most divisive date movie with a Valentine’s Day 2013 release date. We already knew that Di5 H5rd would feature Bruce Willis’ beleaguered John McClane exported to Moscow for some post-Soviet shenanigans. Now, EW has confirmed that 20th Century Fox has officially cast McClane’s new sidekick: Jai Courtney, the Australian actor and possible missing Hemsworth brother who’s best known on these shores for his role as Varro in Spartacus, will play McClane’s estranged son Jack. »
