Mind you there are some minor spoilers here in regards to who may still be kicking at the end of SALVATION and what we may be seeing happen, so read with caution!
“I strongly suspect the next movie is going to take place in a [pre-Judgment Day] 2011. John Connor is going to travel back in time and he’s going to have to galvanize the militaries of the world for an impending Skynet invasion. They’ve figured out time travel to the degree where they can send more than one naked entity. So you’re going to have hunter killers and transports and harvesters and everything arriving in our time and Connor fighting back with conventional military warfare, which I think is going to be fucking awesome. I also think he’s going to meet a scientist that’s going to look a lot like present-day Robert Patrick [who famously played the T-1000 in Terminator 2], talking about stem-cell research and how we can all live as idealized, younger versions of ourselves.”
So after seeing all kinds of futuristic action we’ll be taking a step back and witnessing a war years in the past? I can dig it. We’ve also already heard that the T-1000 may be looking at a return so this pretty much confirms that. But this is all speculation until the studio officially announces a fifth installment with McG at the helm. SALVATION is set to hit theaters and be all kinds of awesome on May 21st!
