Hasta la vista, baby!
Famed director James Cameron confirmed he’s making a new Terminator movie – and Arnold Schwarzenegger, 78, won’t be back for it.
James Cameron confirmed a new ‘Terminator’ film will move forward with a new generation of characters.
“It’s time for a new generation of characters,” explained Cameron, 71.
“I insisted Arnold had to be involved in [2019’s] Terminator: Dark Fate, and it was a great finish to him playing the T-800.
“There needs to be a broader interpretation of Terminator and the idea of a time war and superintelligence. I want to do new stuff that people aren’t imagining.”
Franchise’s Future
Arnold Schwarzenegger is ruled out of the upcoming ‘Terminator’ movie after concluding his T-800 role in ‘Terminator: Dark Fate.’
Back in 2023, Schwarzenegger opened up about the franchise’s future in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
He said at the time: “The franchise is not done. I’m done. I got the message loud and clear that the world wants to move on with a different theme when it comes to The Terminator. Someone has to come up with a great idea.
“The Terminator was largely responsible for my success, so I always would look at it very fondly.
“The first three movies were great. Number four [Salvation] I was not in because I was governor. Then five [Genisys] and six [Dark Fate] didn’t close the deal as far as I’m concerned.
“We knew that ahead of time because they were just not well written.”
