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.
