In a panel discussion about Terminator Salvation, McG was asked to address the rumours that Linda Hamilton and Arnold Schwarzenegger would be reprising their roles in Terminator Salvation in one form or another.
MovieWeb shares what he says:
It seems appropriate to have (Linda Hamilton) in the picture in some capacity. We’re talking about it right this minute. Literally. At this minute. I am in constant communication with the California Governor. We showed him the film days ago, and await a meeting with him later this week. Truthfully, in regards to Schwarzenegger’s participation, it’s not clear. We’ll see where we land on that. He’s a very powerful guy. He has to do what’s right for him. It might be helpful for all of us to email him, telling him it’s a good idea.
There was a lot of speculation on whether we would get to see Arnold at all in this movie, and rumours had it that they spent a day digitally mapping the Governator’s face so that they could replace Kickinger’s with it and Arnie would “Be Back”.
And we already caught wind that Linda Hamilton was being courted to reprise her role, though it would most likely be a voiceover. But fans were hoping for a flashback scene to bring a visual to her passing.
I like that they are trying to incorporate these stars into the franchise. They could do it without them, but it would be a nice fanservice and perfect visual to bring them together in this.
We will have to see just what capacity, if at all these two play out.
