TERMINATOR 7: END OF WAR – First Trailer (2023) Paramount Pictures

James Cameron is writing Terminator 7, but there’s one big challenge that’s getting in the way. Released in 2019, Terminator: Dark Fate was an attempt at relaunching the long-running sci-fi/action franchise via a legacy sequel, with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton returning alongside a cast of young actors. The attempt largely failed unfortunately, as the film grossed just $261 million on a reported budget of $185-196 million. After Dark Fate met its somewhat dark box office fate, the Terminator franchise went into seeming deep-freeze, with Schwarzenegger recently proclaiming that he is done with the series for good.

Schwarzenegger’s Terminator director Cameron is not done with the series however, and in fact has been working on another Terminator sequel, as he just confirmed. But according to Cameron, there’s one big obstacle that’s gotten in the way of his continuing work on Terminator 7. Speaking to the crowd at a Dell Tech World conference (via @rcmercado), the filmmaker said he started writing a new Terminator three months ago, but paused because he wants to see how things develop with real-world AI before he goes any further.
