Terminator will be back on movie screens at least three more times. 

Paramount announced release dates for two more sequels to the upcoming franchise reboot Terminator: Genisys starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Deadline reports. The movies will come out May 19, 2017 and June 29, 2018. 

The "creatively" spelled Terminator: Genisys, which we can only hope will be the first good Terminator film since Terminator 2, opens July 1, 2015. 

There was no word on whether Schwarzenegger, 66, will continue his role as the T-800 killing machine in the sequels. To explain his less than skin-tight skin in the new movie, the Austrian Oak told MTV earlier this year: 


"The way that the character is written, it’s a machine underneath. It’s this metal skeleton. But above that is human flesh,” he told MTV earlier this year. “And the Terminator’s flesh ages, just like any other human being’s flesh. Maybe not as fast. But it definitely ages."

OK, we can get on board with that (more so than that terrible, misspelled title). 

The last film in the Terminator franchise was 2009's Terminator Salvation starring Christian Bale and Sam Worthington, which grossed $371 million worldwide.
