So what’s next for the Terminator franchise? After being sent back in time, the T-McG director bot attacked the franchise with 2009’s Terminator: Salvation, which had some great ideas mixed in with some terrible set-pieces and story-beats. Still, you can’t keep a good killer robot franchise down and sooner or later, a new Terminator film will be constructed. And to …
