The first official image from the next Terminator movie has been released. In it, we see Natalia Reyes, Mackenzie Davis, and the returning star of the first two movies, Linda Hamilton.
Hamilton isn’t the only original returning for the new movie, though. Franchise star Arnold Schwarzenegger is also back, and The Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgment Day director James Cameron is producing the movie.

Terminator 2 remains one of the most important films of my life. Nine years old in 1991, the TV ads for it drove me into a frenzy and my dad’s bad judgment or not allowed me to watch the original before taking me to see T2 in theaters on opening weekend. It was the first movie I ever saw multiple times in theaters, and 27 years later it still holds up as one of the greatest films of all time. It is a masterpiece of action set pieces, drama, music and violence. Titanic and Avatar be damned, THIS is James Cameron‘s magnum opus. Now there is new 4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray bundle available, giving home viewers the chance to enjoy one of the most epic films in the most epic way.
The popularity of the Terminator film franchise has somewhat diminished thanks to the poor reception the sequels have gotten after Terminator 2: Judgement Day. Despite that, the interest in the robot apocalypse is still there. And it will live on now in a brand new reboot from Deadpool director Tim Miller at the helm and James Cameron acting as producer. In addition to that, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton will also be returning to reprise their roles as the robotic killing machine and revolutionist against the machine oppression.
Now it has been confirmed that Blade Runner 2049 star Mackenzie Davis is in negotiations to join the cast. But she won’t be playing a character you think she will be playing. More on the story below.
During a private event celebrating the Terminator franchise, The Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgment Day director James Cameron announced one of the stars of his two entries in the franchise, Linda Hamilton, will be returning to play Sarah Connor once again. She joins fellow returning star Arnold Schwarzenegger on the cast.
Instead of trying to continue from where other movies in the franchise—2003’s Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, 2009’s Terminator Salvation, and 2015’s Terminator Genisys—left off, this newest installment is being planned as a direct sequel to Cameron’s Judgment Day. It’s also being developed as the beginning of a new trilogy.
We learned last week that the new Terminator film, hitting theaters on July 1, 2015, is titled Terminator: Genisys and will see the full-on return of star Arnold Schwarzenegger to the film franchise.
