Australian actor Jai Courtney has joined another all-action movie franchise after landing the coveted role of Kyle Reese in the Terminator remake.
The Sydney-born actor, best known for his role in A Good Day to Die Hard, will join Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jason Clarke and Emilia Clarke in Terminator: Genesis, according to multiple reports.
The Clarkes have signed on to portray Sarah and John Connor in the movie, which will be directed by Alan Taylor.
Schwarzenegger will return as the Terminator.
Courtney reportedly landed the role of Reese after a fiercely contested audition process with The Host star Boyd Holbrook.
