Dayo Okeniyi, who played Thresh in The Hunger Games, has signed on to play the son of Miles Dyson, who was the Director of Special Projects at Cyberdyne Systems and portrayed by Joe Morton in Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Dyson was the inventor of the neural-net processor, which would eventually lead to the development of Skynet. Due to this, he inadvertantly became the man most responsible for Judgment Day.

Simmons (Spider-Man) in an unspecified role. Alan Taylor (Thor: The Dark World) is set to direct.
