Schwarzenegger and Hamilton are teaming up again, 28 years after Terminator 2: Judgment Day came out, for the Cameron-produced, Tim Miller-directed Terminator: Dark Fate, which although Arnold appeared in two more non-Cameron movies in this universe (but refused a cameo in Terminator Salvation), is being treated as the latest chapter for these characters after T2.
“[Cameron] likes to tell people that he gave me all the reasons not to do it because he knows my very nature is to go, ‘F–k you, I’m doing it,’ but that’s not true,” Hamilton told NME. “Ultimately it was the passage of time that allowed me to go, ‘Hmm, I get to fill in 27 years here.'”
The T-800 is again a force for good and Gabriel Luna is the Terminator that’s hell-bent on destruction, the Rev-9, which can separate its endoskeleton from its liquid metal body and…oh goodness, how will they defeat it?!
“There are moments where you kind of feel sorry for Terminator, for the T-800,” Schwarzenegger told Men’s Health. “It’s like, ‘I hope he gets destroyed, but I hope he wins against this.'”
Oh…right. That dastardly chip.
