Fans are bewildered and raising questions following the appearance of a new poster seemingly announcing a Terminator remake featuring Henry Cavill and Margot Robbie.
For almost four decades, James Cameron’s Terminator films have been iconic in the realm of sci-fi blockbusters, narrating the saga of the Connor family and time-traveling robots sent to trouble them. The franchise, spanning six films and a two-season television drama, concluded with Terminator: Genisys, starring Emilia Clarke and Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Post-Genisys, Cameron hinted at a potential reboot, but no official announcement has been made. Recent speculation has arisen from posters circulating on social media depicting Robbie as Sarah Connor and Cavill as the T-800 Terminator. The posters included enticing descriptions, claiming a thrilling remake of THE TERMINATOR was set to hit screens in 2025.
Despite their convincing appearance, these posters have been debunked as fake, originating from a satirical movie poster Facebook page.
Regarding the Terminator franchise’s future, Cameron hinted in 2021 that he was working on the next film, leaning towards a reboot focusing more on the AI aspect than the concept of rogue robots. Although the fake posters featured Cavill and Robbie, Cameron’s plans for casting remain uncertain.
Cameron disclosed at the 2023 Dell Tech World conference that he had started writing a new Terminator movie but wants to observe AI developments before proceeding. This potential delay may work in favor of considering actors like Cavill and Robbie, who have busy schedules in the coming years.
Cavill’s upcoming projects include the spy epic Argylle and The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, while Robbie is rumored for an Ocean’s Eleven movie, a possible Pirates of the Caribbean film, and potential appearances as Harley Quinn in James Gunn’s DC Universe reboot. The timeline for the next Terminator movie remains uncertain.
