If you thought the Terminator film series was over, you need to think again. James Cameron is definitely in this one for the long haul. Terminator geeks are anticipating Terminator 6 as it would be the first of the Terminator film series since 1991’s Terminator 2: Judgment Day to have the full and direct involvement of its creator, Cameron. The other Terminator films in-between didn’t seem to excite quite much and considering the fact that Cameron has long proven to have the Midas touch, chances are that his involvement in the 6th film could revive the franchise to its glory.

Is Terminator 6 Coming Out Or Is Terminator Genisys The Last Movie?

Considering that Terminator Genisys was much of a disappointment, many would have guessed that it would be the last movie in the film’s franchise, but Cameron isn’t one to let any film work related to him remain in ruins and consequently, he jumped to the rescue. Genisys was critically panned, to say the least. It was nominated for Golden Schmoes Awards’ Worst Movie of the Year, as well as the Biggest Disappointment of the Year. Rotten Tomatoes rated it at just 26%, calling it a once-mighty franchise that lacked thematic depth and conceptual intelligence. Obviously, its time travel storyline didn’t sit well with many. At the box office, it faired a bit better, grossing $400 million against a $158 million budget which by blockbuster standards is far from impressive.

Terminator Genisys was actually supposed to be the beginning of another trilogy in the franchise, with sequels slated for release in 2017 and 2018, however with the disappointment upon its release in 2015, plans were halted. Instead of letting his beloved Terminator remain in ridicule, Cameron decided to develop a new film and the title has been revealed to be Terminator: Dark Fate, but before that title became official, cast members referred to it as Terminator: Phoenix but Cameron just liked how Dark Fate sounded. In his words, Cameron asked fans of Terminator to think of the other films after Judgement day as “bad dreams.”

Like what Genisys was originally planned to be, Terminator 6 would be the first of a planned trilogy. Described to be a direct sequel to Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Terminator 6 would be hitting the US theaters on the 1st of November 2019. However, in the UK, theaters would get the chance to view it first with a release date of 23rd October 2019.
