“I can say with certainty that he will not be [in the film],” said the director of “Avatar”.
“It’s time for a new generation of characters. I insisted that Arnold had to be involved in ‘Terminator: Dark Fate’, and it was a great send-off for him playing the T-800,” reflected James Cameron.
In the filmmaker’s view, it is necessary to have a broader interpretation of the franchise’s story and of “the idea of a time war and superintelligence”. “I want to do new things that people are not imagining.”
Arnold Schwarzenegger appeared in almost all of the “Terminator” films. The only one in which the actor did not physically appear was “Terminator Salvation”, although his image was recreated using CGI.
James Cameron told the outlet that he is excited to work on the seventh film in the franchise. He says he is just waiting for things to settle down after the release of “Avatar: Fire and Ash”.
“When the dust settles from ‘Avatar’ in a few months, I’ll really dive into it,” he shared.
“There are many narrative problems to solve. The biggest one is: how do I stay far enough ahead of what is actually happening so that it continues to be science fiction?” he reflected.
