The Terminator has been relaunched what feels like T-1000 times. But that’s not stopping discussions from happening for another installment, according to director James Cameron. He hasn’t helmed an entry since Terminator 2: Judgment Day, though he did produce as well as develop the story for Terminator: Dark Fate.
Speaking on the Smartless podcast (via The Playlist), Cameron conversed about themes and messaging in his movies. “Well, the Avatar films are about the environment; I’m not dealing with AI,” he said. “If I were to do another Terminator film and maybe try and to launch that franchise again–which is in discussion, but nothing has been decided–I would make it much more about the AI side of it than bad robots gone crazy.”

Now Playing: History Of The Terminator Movies
Terminator: Dark Fate was actually planned as the start of a trilogy. But that was put on hold after lackluster box office results for the film. That’s actually the second time in a row the series has landed in molten steel after a rough start. Terminator: Genisys also was supposed to see two sequels originally. That obviously didn’t pan out.
Keep in mind, as well, that Cameron has his hands full with the Avatar franchise. Avatar: The Way of Water just brought in over $435 million globally this past weekend. Avatar 3 is currently slated to premiere December 2024, with fourth and fifth installments coming afterward depending on box office totals.
While a new Terminator film seems a ways off (if it happens at all), there is a new game on the way for the sci-fi series. Tentatively titled Terminator Survival Project, the game takes place between Judgment Day and the creation of John Connor’s resistance.
