With a new Terminator movie currently in development from franchise creator James Cameron and Deadpool director Tim Miller, the upcoming next entry in this series has moved to add a new name to its ranks.

As per The Hollywood Reporter, Diego Boneta has signed on for the film in a to-be-confirmed yet key role in this next Terminator effort. Boneta will be familiar to genre fans for the likes of Rock of Ages and Scream Queens.

This return for the Terminator series will completely ignore anything that’s happened since Cameron’s Terminator 2: Judgment Day. While the rights for the franchise have now reverted to creator Cameron, his involvement in the four ongoing Avatar sequels means he won’t be directing this return for Das Arnold’s T-800. That’s where Tim Miller comes in, for he’s the person tasked with filling the director’s chair.

In addition to Arnold Schwarzenegger reprising one of – if not the – most iconic roles of his career, Linda Hamilton will be back as one of the most badass women in cinema history, Sarah Connor. In terms of other newcomers to the franchise, Blade Runner 2049’s Mackenzie Davis joined the film last month.

At present, this to-be-titled Terminator effort is booked in for a November 2019 release.
