After a long process, Alan Taylor has cast Jai Courtney to play Kyle Reese opposite Emilia Clarke as Sarah Connor and Jason Clarke as John Connor in his “Terminator: Genesis” reboot, according to Variety.
The film, which will also have a TV series tie-in, will feature a young Sarah Connor (E. Clarke) as well as a young Kyle Reese and has been rumored to be set in the 1950s for at least one portion of events. The other Clarke, Jason, will play a future version of their progeny, John Connor. Filming is expected to begin soon with a July 1, 2015 release date already set. The role is expected to span at least two movies and Courtney beat out the likes of Boyd Holbrook and Wilson Bethel for the part.
Courtney will next be seen in “Divergent” and has wrapped Angelina Jolie’s “Unbroken” with Jack O’Connell as well as Russell Crowe’s directorial debut “The Water Diviner.”
