Terminator 6 ’s current title of respect isDark Fate , a suitably ominous tease of what the secret continuation ’s story could be . That information comes from James Cameron himself , who said last month it was the " work title " for Tim Miller’sTerminatorreboot , and while it ’s heart-to-heart to change , that the manufacturer ’s stated it publicly does crystalize what we can expect in November 2019 .
Although it ’s only eight month away , we live precious little about the surprisinglyhigh - budgetTerminator : Dark Fate . What has been confirm is that it will be a retcon sequel , continuing the report of 1991’sTerminator 2 : Judgement Daybut ignoring everything since - signify 2003’sTerminator : Rise of the Machines , 2009’sTerminator Salvationand 2015’sTerminator Genisys . This think of the return ofLinda Hamilton as Sarah Connor(after being killed offscreen inT3 ) alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger ’s secure T-800 , fall in by Mackenzie Davis as a cyborg soldier and Gabriel Luna as the new villain Terminator .
hypothesis : Terminator 6 Will Retcon T2 : Judgment Day
On the expression of it , Dark Fatedoesn’t tell us much 6than that . It seemingly tease an intense movie about fighting destiny , which can be true of every individual previous ledger entry . Like renamingBattle Angel AlitatoAlita : Battle Angelor the potentialretitling of theAvatarsequels , could this all be business concern ?
Perhaps , but in the context of aJudgement Daysequel , it ca n’t be head off howTerminator 6 ’s working title connect directly to that flick ’s subject matter of " no fate " : the end saw the James Scott Connors prevent the machine uprising , essay Kyle Reese ’s admonition that " the future is not set … there is no such thing as Fate , but what we make for ourselves by our own will . " Whether he ’s right or not -The Terminatorsuggests a time - closed circuit , its direct continuation something more ductile - is purposely unanswered ; the point is not letting ourselves be ruled .
LaterTerminatormovies skewed this to make fate an wordless intrinsic component : Rise of the Machineshad Judgement Day be an inevitableness that John could only ever push back;Salvationpresented a succeeding pre - empting time travel ; andGenisysrewrote the timelineof the original flick . Dark Fateas a title may look to be ascribe to those ideas - indeed , that ’s why it would work for any of the movies - but the open joining to Reese ’s quote ( which is repeated by John inT2 ) or else ties immediately to the ideas being discussed in the original movies . Terminator 6may be once again grappling with the brood threat of Judgement Day and the unchosen responsibility of those who must sacrifice themselves to preclude it .
This could also allude to one of the most conspicuously absent elements ofTerminator 6 : John Connor himself . He ’s the center of the franchise , the future human resistance leader who prompt Skynet to mail exterminator back in time and has been the champion of all but the first movie , yet there ’s nary a mite at his function inDark Fate . It ’s thus been speculated that he ’s dead in this version of the timeline , an event that would sure as shooting justify the title : there is no destiny for humanity non-white than the loss of their once - future deliverer .
Given its rather generic quality , there ’s been some mockery of theDark Fatetitle , but given what the sequel is going for , it can work very well . believe there ’s not been a good entry in the enfranchisement in almost 30 years , the name should be the least ofTerminator 6 ’s problems .
