It's Jai Courtney Vs. Boyd Holbrook For Final 'Terminator: Genesis' Lead
Briefly: Most of the lead roles in Terminator: Genesis have been filled. Arnold Schwarzenegger is the lead cyborg, Emilia Clarke is Sarah Connor, Jason Clarke is John Connor and Alan Taylor is directing. That leaves one final piece to the puzzle, John Connor's dad Kyle Reese, and reportedly it's down to two actors: Boyd Holbrook, recently seen in Out of the Furnace and The Host, or Jai Courtney, star of Jack Reacher and A Good Day to Die Hard. Rumor has it Holbrook is in the driver's seat, but it's still a close race. We should hear final casting soon, as the film is scheduled for release July 1, 2015. [Deadline and THR]
