Matt Smith, famous for playing 'Doctor Who' in the long-running TV show, has joined the cast of the fifth ‘Terminator’ film.

 

In a Facebook post, Skydance Productions wrote: 

 

“We don't have a TARDIS, but we do have a Time Lord: Matt Smith is joining the cast of #Terminator, and John Connor is VERY happy about it.”

 

[Mind-blowing Terminator 5 twist planned?] 

 

In a statement, Paramount said: “Smith will play a new character with a strong connection to John Connor, alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jason Clarke, Emilia Clarke, Jai Courtney, J.K. Simmons, Dayo Okeniyi and Byung Hun Lee.”

It's a reboot. Coming out next year.

ohhhh I see. that makes more sense.

interesting, and it is said that Matt Smith's character will have a strong role towards the Terminator. Could it be that he is the person who created the Terminator?

WaitwaitwaitwaitWAIT......WAIT. A "reboot"? What's this about a reboot? I thought they were going to follow the events of Salvation? I mean...time travel and all that, I know, but aren't they going to finish off the CURRENT storyarch before they redo everything!?....not that I'm not happy for Matt Smith being part of the cast, but still, what's the deal on this movie?

Then Terminator: Genesis is a sequel that technically takes concurrently to the original. Kind of like Back to the Future Part II in some areas. I guess.

If I remember correctly the plot is supposed to be that skynet is now trying to eliminate Sarah Connors father (Swarzenegger) and he later becomes the inspiration for the movie one terminator. So it's like a sequel prequel.

Okay, those two plots sound way too conflicting to clear anything up for me.

This series needs to be allowed to die.

Its a sequel that travels back in time to the event before the first film.
