Terminator 5 - The Director Speaks

If it happens, it could ignore the past two Terminator movies

“I always feel like what’s great about the Terminator franchise is that there’s time-travel and there are different timelines to play with,” Lin explains. “There are also a lot of gaps from what we love about all of the Terminator movies, so there's a lot of things we can do and play with... It does have that capability, finding fresh ways of going back without destroying other [movies], because you can tell your own stories.”

As for the rumours that Arnie might be returning to the franchise, he remains vague, but does admit he’s been talking to the ex-Governator: “Everything has just been between me and Arnold, you know? Just us going out and trying to find the right partners. I have certain elements, but it’s never been about, ‘Hey, let's bring everybody back!’ I just don’t process that way.”
