Hollywood film producer Moritz Borman has revealed that Arnold Schwarzenegger will not be reprising his role as a cyborg in the next installment of the ‘Terminator’ franchise, entitled ‘Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins’.
In an interview with the UK edition of Empire Magazine, Borman says that even though Schwarzenegger won’t appear in the new film, the door is open for his return in the planned sequels once he finishes his term as Governor of California.
"I can tell you this much," Borman explains. "This is the story everybody has been waiting for. Namely, we’re in the future part of it where Arnold’s character has not yet been built but is on the drawing board.
"And in the next two episodes, we’ll get to the point where time-travel is more in the foreground. It’s the war against the machines, the start of Skynet taking over the world."
Borman continues, "It’s convenient that he hasn’t been built at this point of the story, as Arnold has more important things to do right now, but that doesn’t mean he might not re-appear later in the trilogy.
"He knows the material and is very supportive of what we’re doing. There might even be hints of his character in this one."
‘Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins’ is set to hit the screens in 2009.
