Terminator 6 Will Actually Be Terminator 3? We've Got A Retcon!

Hello nerds!

Retcons are all the rage in Hollywood these days, and the latest franchise to give it a go is The Terminator. Who saw this coming?

In a recent interview, the T-800 himself, Arnold Schwarzenegger, revealed that Terminator 6 will be be a soft reboot of sorts for the franchise. And by soft reboot, I mean they're ignoring T3 through Genisys. 

“I think [James] Cameron and Tim [Miller] came up with a concept where they can continue on with the T-800 but make a whole new movie. What they are doing now with this one is basically to just take a few very basic characters, like Linda Hamilton’s character and my character, and dismiss everything else. Just move away from all these rules of the timeline and other characters.”

Two claps and a woo for the return of both Arnie and one of the most overlooked badasses in modern cinema, T1 and T2 star Linda Hamilton. I'm sure most of us out there had written the Terminator franchise off for good following the terrible T3, the awful Salvation and the abysmal Genisys, but James Cameron getting the rights back seems to have injected a new spark of life into the franchise.
