James Cameron is writing a new Terminator film instead of just producing. It's unclear if this will be a complete reboot, sequel etc. Since the franchise deals with time travel anything is possible including changing the future. Instead of just producing sounds like Cameron wants to put the franchise back on track. He is said to be diving into this now that Avatar 3 has been released.
This will new characters and a new story line involving AI. Arnold will not be involved.
“I can safely say he won’t be [in it],” Cameron told THR, adding, “It’s time for a new generation of characters. I insisted Arnold had to be involved in [2019’s] Terminator: Dark Fate, and it was a great finish to him playing the T-800. There needs to be a broader interpretation of Terminator and the idea of a time war and super intelligence. I want to do new stuff that people aren’t imagining.”
