While it was obvious that this was freshly created art that had replaced Schwarzenegger with Cavill, fans could not help speculating about the possibility of a reboot of the hit film series, especially since James Cameron had spoken about it earlier. The director in an interview withGQ, said,
“If I were to do another Terminator film and maybe try to launch that franchise again, which is in discussion, but nothing has been decided, I would make it much more about the AI side of it than bad robots gone crazy.”
While this project isn’t in the pipeline at present,Terminatorfans will be hoping that Cameron takes the decision to re-launch the franchise with a fresh look.
