The plot, as we have all learned, featured McClane traveling to Russia to be with his son. So what’s going on with his son? What I’m being told is the son of John McClane, Jack, (played by Jai Courtney) is in fact an undercover CIA Operative. Cringe if you will, but this is slightly hinted at in the first teaser trailer released in September where Bruce Willis’ McClane says the line ” The 007 0f Plainfield, New Jersey.” This is referring to where the McClane / Gennaro family originally hail from, the city of Plainfield, NJ and McClane Jr being a secret agent, ala Bond 007.
CIA Agent Jack McClane meets his estranged father, the reluctant hero that is John McClane, in Moscow and who is apparently completely unaware how super-trained an agent his son actually is. Jack is so highly trained, that he’s deep undercover with Russian heavies who have their hands on some nukes, but once his cover is blown, both the younger and older McClanes are left with no alternative than to fend off Russian mobsters aplenty in unfamiliar territory.
This just better be rated R, that's it. Looks awesome, though I'm kinda wary they are trying to set up Jack to take over the role of hero once Bruce finally stops making these
I could see how this can lead to a hand-off of the series to his son if done right. I'll have to see the movie and the way they do the character though before I can comment on if it'll work out or not.
Here's the official trailer, unlike the one posted above:
You know what's sad? This trailer was actually a decent fake, I was confused at first and then thought "are they going to start Die Hard Jr?", then seen the post below
