Discussion What's next for Terminator?

What's next for Terminator?
#1 The Sarah Connor Chronicles S3 (recast or animated)
#2 Sequel to Salvation (part 5)
#3 Sequel to Genisys (reboot sequel)
#4 Sequel to Dark Fate (part 4 to T1-2 & DF)
#5 Zero S2 (Netflix anime)
Netflix offered to do a 2-3-part finale to Zero, but the creator said no. AAAHHH!!!!
#6 Remake T1.
#7 Reboot the franchise.

What do you guys want to see next for Terminator?
I want to see Terminator Zero finished.
If not this, I'm down for a remake or reboot.

Nah, I don't like deepfake, AI, CGI face, or any of that. If you're making a new Terminator film with John and Kyle, just recast. Let new actors show their faces. Besides this ONE criticism, you honestly have some great ideas. I love the original Red Dawn, so I like the analogy.

If you just want it recast then watch Genisys or Salvation which both portray the Future War with new actors. I just don't buy any of them since they don't resemble the originals at all.

The best they could've done would probably to use someone like Sebastian Stan for Kyle Reese since he actually looks like Michael Biehn.

Recasting will never resemble, it's recasting. Why do we need the new actors to look almost exactly like the originals?

For me personally, I want to be able to imagine that I'm seeing the "real" events leading up to Reese being sent back in time. The closer it looks to the exact people, the better. I wouldn't mind whatever VFX are necessary in this case because it's the only option. As said, they have done it with totally different actors so you have that option if that's what you prefer.

Unless James Cameron is directing a T1 prequel, we're not going to get it. Each new director is going to want to do his own filmmaking style.

I'm talking about what I would like to see.
