In 1984, director James Cameron struck gold with his Action packed adventure The Terminator. The film followed Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) and a mysterious protector from the future Kyle Reese (Michael Biehn), as they ran from the clutches of a murderous robot (Arnold Schwarzenegger) whose kind takes over the world if Ssrah Connor is killed. The killing Machine known as the Terminator is trying to kill Sarah Connor to prevent the birth of her unborn son John, who is destined to help save the world from the robotic takeover, Judgment Day.

The success of the first would lead to several sequels (the fourth of which only featured Schwarzenegger in a brief cameo), spawning a highly successful franchise, even after the director of the much more successful first two, James Cameron left.

With another new director, Justin Lin (Fast Five) set to helm a fifth movie, He revealed while speaking to OMELETE that he has asked if Arnold Schwarzenegger would be interested in returning:

"I think one of the great things is that when I got started, no one would return my calls, and now I get a lot of phone calls, which is good. I have options. Terminator was one of my favorite films growing up. And I feel I have a take that I would love to see, and I’ve talked with Arnold and we’ve talked and we’ll see. Again, I would love to do it, but it has to be the right circumstances. It has to be the right people. And there’s other projects too. But I’m in a position now that I can choose more than I could a year ago, two years ago. So that is something that is potentially in my future, but when I get home I will sit down and look at my options and choose what I want to do."


No official word has hit as to when we can expect this fith Terminator
