Arnold Schwarzenegger reveals that he is planning to return for the Terminator: Genisys sequel, which shoots next year.
NewsFans are still trying to wrap their hands around whether this summer’s Terminator: Genisys is a sequel or a reboot (it’s actually both), but that doesn’t mean the filmmakers and stars aren’t planning the next stage in this seemingly unending Skynet time-pretzel. It seems so certain that Arnold Schwarzenegger has already revealed that when it comes to the intended Terminator: Genisys sequel, he’ll indeed be back. And sooner than you think.
While appearing in Budapest to give a motivational address about succeeding in sports and business, Schwarzenegger also took a moment to speak with the website TheArnoldFans, possibly spilling the beans on the fate of his latest T-800 model in the fifth Terminator picture.
When asked if he would return for the sixth Terminator movie, Schwarzenegger replied, “Yes, of course. Next year.”
It’s short but very, very informative. The Terminator: Genisys follow-up is scheduled for May 19, 2017, and the third film is scheduled for June 29, 2018.
Terminator: Genisys continues the story of John Connor, Sarah Connor, and a handful of cybernetic killing machines by rewriting the rules of the first film. Having sent both good and bad terminators back to events before the original 1984 film, when Kyle Reese (Jai Courtney) now arrives to save Sarah Connor (Emilia Clarke), she’s already a hardened badass who has been raised by a good T-800 (Schwarzenegger). Together, they attempt to rewrite the time travel rules (again), so as to prevent Judgment Day. Again.
The film also stars Jason Clarke as futuristic John Connor and Doctor Who’s Matt Smith in a mystery role. Terminator: Genisys, which is directed by Alan Taylor, opens on July 1, 2015.
