Arnold Schwarzenegger is not just coming back, but indeed appears to be a key part of the upcoming Terminator: Genesis.
According to an excerpt from HitFix.com writer Drew McWeeney’s “Ask Drew” segment (full audio here), the new film will be blending in with the original Terminator:
“There is a scene in the script where, literally, we see the scene from the first TERMINATOR film where Arnold steps out, the punks threaten him, he rips [Brian Thompson]'s heart out and takes his clothes and wanders off. And as soon as that scene ends, another Arnold Schwarzenegger who is older and bearded and a very different version of the Terminator walks in from the side and plays another scene right at the scene of that first incident.”
So it seems there is a script in existence, and it does gibe with an interview Arnold gave to MTV earlier this spring when he discussed that his character would certainly have aged since the first film. It's also nice to know that he will still be involved in some capacity, hopefully blowing up some more stuff.
As for more details on the movie, we’ll just have to wait. We do know that it will also feature Emilia Clarke, Jason Clarke, Jai Courtney, and J.K. Simmons, and will be released on July 1, 2015.
