Arnold Schwarzenegger to return for Terminator 4?

When MGM first announced Terminator 4, they warned fans that the movie would feature an all new cast, which includes an all new Terminator. Many people speculated that because of his political career, Arnold would be absent.

“We did have to think about a new franchise character. He couldn’t carry the movies anymore. So that caused us to have, I think, a pretty novel approach about what the new terminator would be like,” screenwriter John Brancato said.

Well it now looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger might return after all, albeit briefly.

“I think it’s in his contract [to make an appearance],” MGM CEO Harry Sloan told The Boston Herald.

So it looks like Arnold might film a cameo after-all. Sloan also revealed that the hunt has begun for a new Terminator star. Rumored Terminator replacements over the last couple years have included: Ralph Moeller, Vin Diesel, The Rock and Orlando Bloom (no, seriously).

Terminator 3 stars Claire Danes and Nick Stahl are not expected to return for the fourth film. Although T3 star Claire Danes has said publicly that she has an option for a fourth film, if they want her back.

“None of the cast is coming back,” Stahl told SciFi Wire in early 2005. “The T4 story is changing conceptually. I believe it’s a jump to the future, so my character will be quite a bit older. That’s all that I know. So I’m not coming back, which is a drag.”

    Bring Arny back, call me old fashioned but I just don't think it was right having a girl terminator.

  • ken willaminna
    Awesome, Maybe arnold can show that he was the creator of the t-101 cyberdyne cyborg(human form-based off cyborg).. That would be sweet!!!
  • asianswoosh
    It's cool Arnie is making a comeback but it's a drag that Edward Furlong won't be in it even though he wasn't in the third one either. It would have been cool if he could've be John Connor in the 4th one
  • christon
    it would be cool if arnold come back, with out him the movie would not be all that perfect
    ...... i mean he have the body of the terminator.. and he's the best
  • I met this guy Eddie Latoza in Venice Beach a few years ago. He was doing a photo shoot. This guy has the ultimate physique to play any action hero! I would not be surprised to see him someday on the big screen. Very cool dude

  • thadarryl
    I like the idea about him creating the terminator. sorta noonian soong thing going on. female terminator should be more muscular. heres hoping
  • Terminator 4 ... What a big surprise to the nation of terminator lovers who were confident of a real crisp ending to such an innovative story and primarily due to such a wretchedly disappointing 3rd wave of this epic.

    Why is that T4 is sooo being looking forward to be watched? The plot and design of T3 almost summarized the gap between no war and war. This is useless and definitely not right for this type of film.
    The reason why the production of T3 was very interesting is that what was left of T2 - the belief of 'judgment day' being stopped. The film had to take under consideration of the significance and emotion of Kyle Reese, Saraah Conor's struggle and life and ofcourse John Conor. Although T3 did conclude John's life, the fact he was naive, confused and 'messed up' along with 'judgment day being inevitable' doesn't respect what Kyle and Sarah had been and fought through. Why the hell did they totally introduce the wife of John and her life? Ok, so her father was like the cause of Skynet's release, but even the part of the machines taking over was much too straightforward.

    Arnold did NOT look very suitable as a terminator. I guess it was the essence of the whole movie which is agreeable that it is not very good. The humour really diverted the attention of what this terminator is and what he means. And why is this terminator VERY knowledgable? Abit like a secretary for both Katherine and John... So I think that this was Arnie's opportunity to make a solid good finish to a very initriguing story inspite him being the undisputed icon of 'The Terminator', however this moment for Arnie is far-stretched for T4.

    So Arnie's agendas and age is quite a problem and realistically I don't think he will make the best terminator like he used to because I think T4 deserves the best of attention compared to the previous films, ESPECIALLY T3. If Arnie can't do it, nor could this whole idea of T4 unless you get a very well devised idea from the experts. James Cameron did very well for the first 2, perhaps his ideas were made for 'terminator' all the way.

    If T4 is definitely to be made, I hope Arnie takes the will to make the best terminator film, if not, good luck to the makers.

    But for the past, Arnie is absolutely great in 'The Terminator' and I don't think ANYONE can beat a standard like his.

    ...................... 2008 ?! are you kidding me
  • I know for sure that Arnold has one more year of terminator left in him and i feel that he should of coarse be terminator again in terminator 4 of 2008. Nobody can replace him in the terminator posision. Just like in T1, T2, and T3 arnold comes out victorious. Arnold is very knowledgeable but i myself think that after the terminator 4 movie is out and arnold make a brilliant porformance i do think he should retire afterwards. That doesn't mean they should stop making terminator movies, but just think they should allow him to retire after he plays as the terminator one last time in the movie terminator 4.

  • I personally and think you should consider wwe champion John Cena for the role of the TERMINATOR,hey he's John Cena,so just think about,the charisma and the perfect look
  • Again just think about it.
  • Allynd Dudnikov
    No Cena.
    Please god all mighty, no cena!
  • Give Cena a chance.The marine was his first film and Cena has a bright future in sports and hollywood.Charisma,the look and he seems to be a cool guy
  • Allynd Dudnikov
    ...No.
    I say that they use Arnold but digitally de-age him like they did in X3, I don't see anyone else playing the Terminator.
  • Liam
  • I THINK JOHN CENA,SINCE HE'S BIG,CHARISMATIC AND BESIDES THE MARINE WAS HIS FIRST FILM AND ANY BIG PERSON CAN PLAY THE TERMINATOR SINCE IT DOES NOT REQUIRE A LOT OF ACTING.
  • Jay
    Im a huge Terminator fan and i thing T2
  • Jay
    Im a huge Terminator fan and i think nothing beats T2 but the success of 1&2 was the good chemistry between Sarah Connor and Arnie which was missing in T3. I agree a woman terminator is not suited to the role (no offence) T-1000 was even better! Arnie actually recommended The Rock to play the next one and i think he will be the best choice, this time no humor from the Terminator like in T3, it ruins the whole concept. If Sarah comes back (original) then im sure it will be back to what it truly is, this time with its suited theme song and atmosphere which made T2 such a success!
  • Paul
    I also think that John Cena should get considered for the movie. He has the looks and charisma. With a good script and director , it should be solid.
  • The_Absolute_Charmer
    What?! You people think like QUEERS...

    What's up with this Cena dude? Man does NOT suit the terminator role at all...
  • CONOR HARTE
    WHEN I HEARD OF TERMINATOR 4 I COUNLD NOT WATE FOR IT TO COME OUT. BUT WHEN I HEARD OF NEW CAST MEMBERS AND ARNE NOT AS THE TERMINATOR , WITH OUT HIM IT WILL BE A CHEAP MOVIE. WITH OUT ARNE IT IS NOT A TERMINATOR FILM OR THE CAST FROM T3. WE WILL HAVE TO GET USED TO NEW CARACTORS. BRING BACK NICK STAHL AND THE LOVEY CLAIRE DANES. WITH OUT THEM AND ARNE IT IS NOT A TERMINATOR FILM.IF WE HAVE ARNE AND NICK AND CLAIRE FROM T3 IT WILL BE A GREAT FILM OF THEM ALL WE WANT ARNE
  • fezza
    Its a fact that arnie was the gratest terminator ever. without him the film would not be possible. Its about the future so its time to introduce new characters to the franchies I agress the rock or john cena they would be perfect for the part. who ever suggested orlando bloom forget about it wont work...., don't forget sarah cornner was announced dead in T3 there is no reason to bring back the character better if edward furlung returns to play john corner now that would be brilliant
  • G.M. Cline
    That all I want arnold achwarezenegger is back on terminator 4 everybody want him in film for real!! because heis grreater terminator ever!!!!!!
  • Lefty
    I think that big movies come from big artists only, this movie is far biger than John Cena. Arnold is not suitable for his role animore too. I have three people in mind better than this Cena guy.

    1. The Rock
    2. J. C. Van Damme
    3. Dolph Lundgren

    the last two choices are only because they are experienced in this kind of a movie, but i'm not sure with them neither because I haven't heard from them for a very long time. My first choice is because I believe he can create his own Terminator charisma in his own way. I also would like Arnold to make a short appearance and kill John this time and get captured at the end of the movie. But I don't want a terminator as the last one to have some stupid weapons as flame thrower and a saw or some kind of a star wars laser weapon on him. That's why James Cameron was the best, he knew where to stop.
    Overall I think we should all get a fucking life.
  • ss
    hey
    Arnold is the main cast behind the biggest success of terminator series all over
    the world. he has to continue the same & i am confident & excited.
    Best of luck.
    love & warm regards.
  • The_Absolute_Charmer
    Hmm,

    Ok, I think IF T4 is to be made, the script, the directions and the whole story maybe must be altered in way that this terminator is not the subject. We all know now what's going on; the war has started. Why see another terminator following some so-called-saviers trying to protect them and all? Would it be necessary for the exciting T4? If you guys were expecting Arnie to play as the terminator, how effective will his role BE, regardless him as old as he is or if he were young?

    The fact is; the war has begun. That means the battle between Kyle Reese and the terminator, the battle between Sarah and her fate, the protection of John Connor has been accounted for TOTALLY and now we need a total adjustment and revolution to our war, which the director must take into account.

    Perhaps the script should introduce a flaunt, a twist, a SIGNIFICANT error or simply something completely amazing that will withdraw our attention on the Arnie-as-terminator thing and rather see how fierceful this battle has become.

    The point is, now that we've seen Arnie in action, we want his amazing charisma to BE shown in Terminator 4, like a token of honor. That is how great films never last - the series can go on. Just the way a great person is remembered, the future is still enlightening as if the person still was there - same applies.

    Soo people; let's just hope that T4 will be great film ;)
  • Mohammed Ayaz
    Please! Please! Please! Please! Please!
    Cast Mr. Anie Schwarzenegger or Mr. Vin Diesel otherwise movie will?????
  • swapna nayar
    terminator 4 should be with john conor after plastic surgery to disguise himself so that a new good looking actor can take his role. arnold is must. climax of the film may be with an elaborate ariel fight with planes in which the bad terminator is destroyed by being thrown into a volcanic crator from the aeroplane after a good fight. it should end with an emotinal farewell between john and arnold as in terminator 2 may b a scene like arnold throwing down a reluctant john with a parachut attached to save him from a burning plane where as arnold himself perishes in the air crash
  • james m.
    Like most Terminator fans im also a Arnold fan but ppl must realize arnolds age...he is getting up there....and also if any of you have read some of the terminator books or even remember some of Kyles flashbacks in T1 you notice that there are different looking t101's out there....and more importantly ...being that the next film will most likely be "in the future" the film could be full of bare exo skeleton drones all over the place....
  • gina
    hi im gina. i absolutely love the whole storyline of the terminator and i honestly believe along with others that the story will be really boring without arnold. people won't wanna go see it in theatres or bother spending money to see it. it will be boring without him. he has the perfect look and body and no one can take his place. i watched all 3 terminators and he has done a good job in all them and has to comeback and be the terminator, PLEASEE I BEGG YOU, COME BACK!!!!
  • Becky
    I too wish that Arnie could still be Terminator, but lets look at the facts folks, he sometimes walks with a stick now and he's let himself go a bit since the last movie. I don't believe that he will be able to get the body to be the Terminator again. He just managed it in T3 and it nearly crippled him! Plus, if T4 is going to be set during the war then there is no need for Arnie because the Terminators were only given human skin after the war had ended in order to infiltrate the surviving human camps, therefore we should only be seeing the endoskeletons in this film.
    If they are making this film then I hope they stay truer to Cameron's masterpieces than the last film did, example being calling Arnie a 'T101'. He's actually a T800 Cyberdyne Sysytems Model (CSM) 101 (Robert Patrick being a T1000 in T2). I couldn't believe it when Arnie uttered "That was a different T101", I would have thought that he'd blooming know what kind of Terminator he was seeing as though it was the film that brought him world-wide fame and all that, oh well... rant over :-p
  • hi i m from india and i am very big fan of arnol schwazernegar.
  • fsbtntrntntgf trht
  • bob shaw
    i thought all the t-800's ALL looked like arnie with them being made on an assembly line - and the fact that the fella in the main flashback of t1 was a different actor, i thought it was a film-making error. so do they vary? hmmm....
  • shane
    hey im the biggest fan of all terminator movies im just here to say that arnold your the greatest termniator ever I'd love it if you could make just one more movie i know you've gotten old(no offence)
    and grown out of terminator films its just that terminator won't be the same with out you im asking you long and hard
    could you please just play one more film if you cant do that
    then just play a small role i just want to see your face in
    one more terminator film please just to make a small 11 year old boy happy

    yours sencirely
    shane richards
  • faggot
    I think Arnie should play Terminator I think Cena should play his pet chimp or HHHHHHHHHHHHH and I think PW Anderson should direct it so it turns in to a pile of AvP dog shit...long live the dope king!
  • oliver
    fucking have arnald or it will be fucking shit
  • Mr Spats
    Arnold should be gotten rid of, hes gone big anyway, they could do a perfectly acceptable CGI of Arnold and not worry about having to pay it far too much money.. T4 should get to the bottom of what skynet is all about and then end with the human race being completley wiped out! why do humans always seem to win in these things!! lets have a change and a CG arnold..
  • reon
    if you have another cast playing terminator in the movie no one is gonna go and see it because everyone wants to see arnold, you have to understand that arnold schwarzenegger owns the terminator movies he is terminator, the only reason why 90% of the people that go watch the t films is to see arnolds muscels in the scenes where he appears or just to see arnold be terminator i dont have to explain my self anymore look at it this way john cena or the rock sayin"ILL BE BACK" every one in the cinema is gonna laugh its gonna be awkward its like sayin hey lets make a BLADE 4 starring tom cruise casting blade haaaaaaaaa haha dumb
  • Isshiah
    1. They should do a computer generated version of Arnold as a terminator and have the real arnie be the person who the terminator looks like. Arnold as a proffesor or something can explain to...how he created them etc
    2. Use a bloody good director for crying out bloody loud!!!
    Terminator=very good
    Terminator 2=excellent
    Terminator 3=satisfactory
    Terminator 4,5,6=bloody fantastic i hope
  • Gaz
    I hope that when they do this new film that they do not forget certain details of the old ones. An important one is that Skynet first launches it's nukes on Russia in the hope of provoking Russia to a counteract nuke strike. So I hope the film dramatizes this event where Russia is first destroyed and in a desperate reaction Russia then do a meeting where they decide on who launched the nukes and whether to initiate a counterstrike.

    Meanwhile in the Usa the leaders are trying to figure out what happened and are very upset about Russia being nuked and the film should dramatize the arguments between Russia (what's left of it) and America, they should also involve other countries such as Uk or Nato and other forces just to give the feel that this is truly a global devastation and not just something that affects Russia and America.

    The film then should play a large part in this dramatic devastation and to see the reactions of horror on the rest of the world once they learn of Russia's devastation,

    (also some time between here , there will be human Usa military forces working in America who have built underground secret research facilities a bit like area 51, which are nuke proof. These labs and military facilities serve as factories to produce prototype terminator machines, at some time in the past they acquired the technology from Cyberdyne systems, but at sometime skynet takes over these machines and begins to launch an attack within America, the armed forces would be called upon to fight them, using tanks and helicopters against terminators, waw!)

    the film should then gradually unfold as tensions mount and then for a brief moment everything seems normal again-- until Russia decide to counteract with Nukes, and we see the horror on peoples faces as they see these nukes being dropped upon them on Nato and American forces.

    This should then set the stage for the next film of a devastated future with the machines raging war against people.

    I hope it goes something like that, because if the world is just blown up straightaway, it takes away the tension of devastation, it would also be kind of dumb that machines would simply rise up out of nowhere after nukes have just hit and blown up all kind of buildings, including power stations, especially since T800 are manufactured in factory and skynet needs working computers to stay alive. Also if Russia is not attacked first then Arnie 101 in T3 would be telling tales
