Terminator 6: Everything We Know So Far
5. The Film Will Feature A Young Female Protagonist
It would appear James Cameron is taking a page out of the Star Wars' book with his Terminator reboot strategy. The series legends are on board, and from the sound of it, they will be joined by a bevy of young actors.
The series mastermind has confirmed that an actress in her late teens is being sought for the protagonist role, and the film's focus will largely be on new characters.
Unsurprisingly, time travel will once again play a major role in the series, and Cameron has hinted that T6 will have segments set in two different periods...
“We’re starting a search for an 18-something woman to be the new centerpiece of the new story. We still fold time. We will have characters from the future and the present. There will be mostly new characters but we’ll have Arnold and Linda’s characters to anchor it.”
There's more than a whiff of The Force Awakens - which paired Star Wars icons with a new generation of actors - about this approach, but whether this is a good fit for Terminator remains to be seen.
