Arnold Schwarzenegger appeared in theaters for the first time as the stern-faced robotic mercenary in The Terminator in 1984. With a take on the horrors of technology, James Cameron delivered a holistic punch with his science fiction extravaganza. The Terminator marked Arnold Schwarzenegger as not only one of the highest-paid actors in Hollywood but made his dream of becoming a global star come true. Therefore, as Cameron hints at another addition to the franchise, while Schwarzenegger makes his Netflix series debut, one would think their working together is a sign from the heavens.

As he makes his comeback at 75, Arnold Schwarzenegger is open to working on movies that have worked for him earlier. He even deemed himself completely ready for a Conan the Barbarian sequel. But does the sentiment stand for Terminator 7?

Will Arnold Schwarzenegger join James Cameron for another Terminator movie?

James Cameron enjoyed the success of his multi-billion dollar project, Avatar: The Way of Water is turning the pages of his old books in search of a new project. As he attended the Dell Tech World conference, the director revealed that he might ride the coattails of The Terminator once again. An attendee by the name of Rod Mercado wrote on his Twitter that James Cameron “started writing a new Terminator movie 3 months ago.” While the announcement has excited many, Schwarzenegger may not be one of them.

Schwarzenegger in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter earlier this month had said, “I’m done,” when asked about playing the Terminator again. And as if the pill was not hard enough to swallow, he further added, “They were just not well written,” speaking of Genisys and Dark Fate.

This time around, however, James Cameron is also willing to wait out and see if AI can do more than just create horrifying videos of Will Smith eating spaghetti. However, that does not guarantee a Schwarzenegger comeback.

Will James Cameron cast a new Terminator?

The failure of the previous movies can be blamed on the fact that the elements that earlier sparked the stimulus were overused to the point of desensitization. However, it will be hard for Schwarzenegger to go back after blaming Cameron’s script. But that in no way means the end of the franchise.

While The Terminator franchise may have suffered subsequent flops the past three times, its impact on sci-fi cannot be denied. Therefore, if the actor does not keep his promise of “I’ll be back,” the franchise can find another lead. This could break The Terminator from a science-fiction franchise to a phenomenon like James Bond.
