Who should play the next Terminator?

We've had Terminators played by white men (Arnold Schwarzenegger, Robert Patrick, and the dude for the T-3000 in Genisys), a white woman (T-X in Terminator 3), and an Asian man (T-1000 in Genisys).

The next step is obviously a black person, and I think it would be cool to see a black Terminator. But then again, it kinda destroys the trope that black people are anti-robot/AI (Matrix and I, Robot for example.) Part of me would rather see black people remain as humanity's heroes against the machines.

I personally think it's past time to terminate the Terminator series completely.

I actually kinda agree in a way.

You may have a point

My answer would be a really good action hero type actor. I really don't give a fuck what color he is, because I'm sick and tired of the race card. When are we going to progress beyond this stupidity?

PS WTF are you referring to when you mention a "trope that black people are anti-robot"? Where did you get that moronic stereotype? That's racist, salmon!

I was kinda joking. Not a good joke, but I couldn't help it.

[–] MovieManCin2 (26342) 7 years ago

Sorry. I kind of over-reacted there. Still buds?

[–] aliensalmon (5855) 7 years ago

Yeah, of course!

[–] MovieManCin2 (26342) 7 years ago

Excellent! That makes my day!

Omarosa.

[–] aliensalmon (5855) 7 years ago

I could see that happening!

[–] Frogarama (12942) 7 years ago

She's frightening, perhaps moreso than Arnold.

How about Idris Elba, Ryan Gosling, Paul Dano, or if you can lure him out of retirement, Daniel Day-Lewis

Younger crowd, one or both of those Sprouse boys might be good, or Emma Watson, or Emma Roberts, Macaulay Culkin? Yeah he's not as young as the others but that would be some comeback

[–] PeteRose (2893) 7 years ago

Ooh or Edward Furlong

Joel Kinnaman, I want to see all of these
