TheDie Hardreboot was always an inevitability.
2013sA Good Day to Die Hardgrossed a measly $67 domestically but minted over $300 globally.
So, of course the next logical step would be a reboot.

Butyesterday came newsthatDie Hard 6will go backwards, prequelizing John McClane and even giving him an origin story.
Willis was 33 when the originalDie Hardcame out.
This is about the moment when we ask ourselves ifGarrett Hedlundis available.
BetweenTRON: LegacyandPan, Hedlund has two non-starting franchises under his belt.
But maybe Hedlund just needs an action showcase thats a little more down to earth.
Joe: The Rise of Cobra and he even played a younger version of Willis inLooper.
And Im a big fan of theCaptain Americamovies, but the reason I thinkChris Evanscould work as McClane isSnowpiercer.
Evans played the plucky leader of a revolution, fighting a new battle in every traincar.
Its basically what McClane does in every movie Die Hardon a dystopia-train.
Or maybeJohn Boyega, who played a street-level alien-buster inAttack the Block.
And we have to talk Hemsworths… because wouldnt thirdHemsworthbrotherLukebe perfect for the role?
Who would you cast as young John McClane?
