'Terminator Genisys': Find Out Why Arnold Schwarzenegger Decided To Return As Terminator

Arnold Schwarzenegger will be seen as Terminator in the recently released “Terminator Genisys.” The actor is reportedly happy to reprise the iconic role, which he first played in “The Terminator” in 1984.

In his discussion with Screen Rant, the actor revealed his passion for the character and what made him return to the popular franchise. “I think it’s a great and interesting character,” he said. He plays T-800/ Guardian who has been programmed to protect Emilia Clarke’s character Sarah Connor.

According to Schwarzenegger, the Terminator version in this film will destroy anything in order to protect Connor. He also added that he liked the plot of the film, “I think the people that were involved made me feel like I think this is going to be a good movie and they’re going to go all out with the project,” he said.

Schwarzenegger’s T-800 will also age in the film, reported MTV. The film deals with a lot of time travel. It has been set in three timelines, past, present and future so there are two versions of T-800 in the film, one younger and one older.
