An August 29 report has given rise to new rumors about the possibility of a sequel for Terminator: Genisys.
Teaser Trailer For Terminator: Genysis To Release Soon?
Add to this the speculation of Dwayne Johnson's suggested involvement in the franchise, hints at the fact that Johnson might star in the sequel if he doesn't make a surprise appearance in Genisys.
Earlier this year, it was rumored that Johnson would replace Schwarzenegger as the iconic T-800 in Terminator: Genesis. Even though that major prediction died down, the actor eventually being part of the franchise is an credible idea. Also, the two actors had a brief online exchange after Schwarzenegger congratulated Johnson for his recent movie Hercules and also suggested wanting to work with Johnson at some point.
Schwarzenegger showed his love on a fan forum, writing:
Terminator: Genisys To "Remind Fans Why They Fell In Love" With The Original
"I just came here to congratulate Dwayne, but you just gave me a great idea for a movie. I would love to do a movie with Dwayne - the Oak and the Rock - it couldn't be more perfect.
Anyway, congratulations Dwayne. The movie looks fantastic and I can tell you know what's best in life. Let's get together soon and share sword stories."
Johnson thanked Schwarznegger via Twitter on July 23.
"Awesome #HERCULESMovie comments from my bud @Schwarzenegger Look forward to swappin' sword stories," he tweeted.
Terminator 5: Genesis is being directed by Alan Taylor and also stars Jai Courtney, who will be playing Kyle Reese, and Emilia Clarke will play Sarah Connor. Sandrine Holt (House of Cards) will be playing Detective Cheung, who will "arrest Kyle and Sarah when they arrive in 2017."
Terminator 5 is scheduled to release in July 2015.
