Disney Planning To Reboot The Die Hard Franchise

Get the Full StoryBefore we dive into it, let s get a few important things out of the way.

Yes, Die Hard is one of the best Christmas movies ever. Yes, it s also one of the best action blockbusters to date. And yes, John McClane is a total badass.

As we ve mentioned before, while Disney s acquisition of 21st Century Fox was undoubtedly a win for the company, it looks like some of the franchises that are now under the House of Mouse s control have proven to be a bit problematic we ve heard the poor box office performance of Dark Phoenix didn t exactly inspire confidence in future X-Men movies .

Still, Disney now has creative control over a handful of properties that have been lying dormant for some time, including Die Hard. While the first four films in the series are generally well-regarded the original, to this day, remains popular, especially around the holiday season , 2013 s A Good Day to Die Hard wasn t as well-liked, and ever since, there s been little in the way of a new entry.

An insider source has revealed to We Got This Covered that Disney is planning to reboot the franchise entirely. As a result, McClane a sixth film which was to serve as a prequel and origin story has been scrapped, and instead, the team heading up this new project will be resetting the clock on the series.

Personally, we wouldn t mind if Disney got into the world of more intense gritty action movies, even if it means that Bruce Willis won t be reprising one of his more iconic roles. We ll be sure to keep you updated on any additional news regarding Die Hard, and we ll be crossing our fingers for Willis to make a cameo in the next film.
