TERMINATOR Sequel Finds Its Leads In Colombian Actress Natalia Reyes & AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Gabriel Luna
Tim Miller and James Cameron have found their new Terminator in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Ghost Rider, Gabriel Luna. Plus, Lady, La Vendedora de Rosas star Natalia Reyes has also joined the cast!
Deadline is reporting that Paramount and Skydance's upcoming Terminator sequel has tapped Gabriel Luna (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) to star as the latest version of the titular time-traveling killing machine. The Hollywood Reporter adds that Columbian actress Natalia Reyes (Lady, La Vendedora de Rosas) has also joined the cast in a starring role as Dani, a young woman from a working-class class neighborhood in Mexico City who finds herself in the battle between humans and machines.
Tim Miller (Deadpool) is helming the upcoming project with James Cameron back onboard as a producer - his first time being directly involved in developing a sequel since 1991. The new film will serve as a direct sequel to Cameron's classic Terminator 2: Judgment Day and has already been confirmed to feature the returns of both Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton, who will headline the feature, reprising their iconic roles as the T-800 and Sarah Connor, respectively.
Reyes' character is being described as the Sarah Connor of the new trilogy while Luna's Terminator will presumably follow in Robert Patrick's footsteps as the villain. The pair will join fellow up-and-comers Mackenzie Davis (Blade Runner 2049) and Diego Boneta (Rock of Ages) as the new faces of the franchise moving forward.
The cast is expected to begin training for their physically demanding roles later this month with production expected to officially commence in May. The film is slated for a November 22, 2019 release date.
