Isn’t Schwarzenegger in the next Terminator? A path is being explored to restart one of the greatest sci-fi sagas

James Cameron, the mastermind of the Avatar saga at the box office, has something else in mind! The director has confirmed his intention to revive the Terminator franchise in cinema, despite the dismal failures of Genisys and Dark Fate.

Even if he remains very cryptic about the form the film may take, James Cameron has given some important information. As he explained to Empire magazine, the upcoming installment will have a significant change – none of the characters from the previous films will be present, nor will the iconography of the saga.

He explains: “You’re losing a new audience because that new audience isn’t interested in what you think they might be interested in. That’s also a danger obviously with Avatar, but I think we’ve proven something new to the public.”

This means that neither Arnold Schwarzenegger nor Linda Hamilton will be part of this adventure. Cameron wants to focus on new main characters. .

he asked The Hollywood ReporterA few weeks ago, the Canadian director noted: “I’m working on my own Terminator project. It has nothing to do with the new series. As it was The Sarah Connor ChroniclesSometimes it was about things that I was playing with completely on my own. So there is some curiosity. It’s not a burning curiosity, but obviously, it would be nice to see the project come to fruition. “He pointed out.

“This is completely confidential. I don’t want to send in a potentially dangerous robot agent if you talk about it, even retroactively.” He continued humorously.

However, the filmmaker and producer has not made it clear that he himself will be directing this Terminator project in the cinema.

Recall that he previously directed the first two episodes before passing the baton to Jonathan Mostow for Rise of the Machines, McG for Renaissance, Alan Taylor for Genisys and Tim Miller for Dark Fate.

Note that James Cameron also paid attention to this topic during a conference last December: “If I were to try to make another Terminator feature and maybe reboot the franchise, I would focus on the AI ​​side and less crazy bad robots. It’s in the works, but nothing has happened. It’s still decided.“, he confided.

At the moment, the filmmaker is very busy with the post-production of Avatar 3 and the filming of the 4th part. James Cameron also wanted to clarify comments dated from July 2022; He talked about possibly passing the torch to another director for the Avatar sequel.

“Of course I’m going to do them. Absolutely. I mean, they have to get up early to stop me. I’m full of energy, I love doing what I do. Why shouldn’t I? They’re written, actually, I’ve read the scripts, they’re exciting stories.– he asserted confidently.

So far, the release dates for the sequels in the saga are as follows: Avatar Fire and Ash will be released on December 17, 2025. Episode 4 will be released on December 19, 2029, and Opus 5 will be offered on December 17. 2031 year.
