A first look was screened at CinemaCon 2019 followed by the release of official cast photos. Linda Hamilton and Arnold Schwarzenegger return in their iconic roles in the film, which is produced by James Cameron and David Ellison. *Dark Fate* also stars Mackenzie Davis, Natalia Reyes, Gabriel Luna, and Diego Boneta. This film will take place after *Terminator 2* — as if the last three films didn't exist, which we can buy into because of time travel in the Terminator universe, but also, as Linda Hamilton put it, the last three "are very forgettable, aren't they?" (Uhh, her words...not mine...) Naturally, after the release of anything, the internet had some opinions.

The action looks immense. It looks like everything you've wanted in a *Terminator* sequel." https://twitter.com/ScottWamplerBMD/statuses/1113861541202255873 TERMINATOR footage features a fully nude Mackenzie Davis time-travel landing in Mexico City and beating the shit out of a couple of cops. This is precisely as awesome as it sounds.

We'll see if that holds out when the trailer drops. *Terminator: Dark Fate* opens in theaters on Nov. 1, 2019. ![]() I don't know if that white shirt is in regs, tho...
