James Cameron Might Return to the Terminator Franchise

Much like Arnold Schwarzenegger‘s acting career, the Terminator franchise may be getting another chance at redemption. Despite the critical drubbing of T3: Rise of the Machines, Terminator Salvation, and Terminator Genisys, the sci-fi series could be getting new life in some familiar hands. Despite his dedication to bringing multiple Avatar sequels to the screen, James Cameron could return to the Terminator franchise, bringing along Deadpool director Tim Miller.

While the Terminator franchise has taken a hit in recent iterations, the first two films are truly sci-fi classics. Cameron sold the rights to the original film to producer Gale Anne Hurd for $1 back in the ’80s with the stipulation that he would be the film’s director, but the copyright reversion will kick in 35 years after their initial sale, once again giving Cameron control of the franchise. He hasn’t been involved since Terminator 2, and the series has indeed taken a nosedive since then. In addition to this, there are rumors that Cameron could be in early talks with Deadpool director Tim Miller to take over the franchise. 

Since these are all still early talks, there is no news about whether or not this will be a sequel or a reboot, but the possible presence of Cameron and Miller is cause for cautious optimism.
