"Those bare feet have some very big shoes to fill."
In the last film, McClane and his son Jack (Jai Courtney) had to complete a mission which took them into the heart of the Russian organised crime.
Willis said at the time: "I'm really pleased to continue to be asked back to do other versions and other incarnations of 'Die Hard'.
"The first one really is ... That's all there is. Everything else is just trying to be as good as that film."
The franchise has five movies to date under the banner of the 'Die Hard' and have Willis has reprised his role in every film to date.
