According to fan site TheArnoldFans, the actor confirmed his return for at least one of the two Genisys sequels the studio has planned during a recent trip to Budapest. When asked if he’ll appear in the sequel to Terminator: Genisys, Schwarzenegger reportedly replied, “Yes, of course. Next year.”
While his role in the sequel isn’t official at this point — given that Terminator: Genisys is still a few months away from hitting theaters, any talk of sequels is a bit premature — it wouldn’t be a surprise to see Schwarzenegger return for another installment as the T-800 android assassin who has been both the franchise’s villain and hero at various points. The actor even managed to make a brief cameo in 2009’s Terminator Salvation, which was filmed while he was still in office as the Governor of California.
Of course, given how Terminator: Genisys is effectively rebooting the entire Terminator franchise and creating a new continuity for the series, anything is possible.
Terminator: Genisys is directed by Alan Taylor (Thor: The Dark World) and hits theaters July 1, with sequels planned for May 19, 2017, and June 29, 2018.
