$\"\"$ <\/a>
Three months ago<\/a>, producer James Middleton said the next Terminator<\/i> movie would feature a new main character, and John Connor<\/a> would be somewhere off to the side, \u201cinfluencing\u201d the new main character in much the same way that Jesus \u201cinfluenced\u201d the title character in Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ<\/a><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then, two weeks ago<\/a>, producers Derek Anderson and Victor Kubicek seemed to scuttle that idea when they said that John Connor is a \u201cvery central character throughout the next trilogy<\/a>\u201d who will \u201clead our franchise forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

Today, however, Devin Faraci<\/a> at CHUD.com says it looks like John Connor, despite being played by Christian Bale<\/a>, really will<\/i> be a minor character \u2014 at least in this particular film, which is titled Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Faraci says the main character in this next film will be a character named Marcus \u2026 and he passes on a lot of other details, too, so if you don\u2019t want to know any potential spoilers, do not go to CHUD.com and do not read what Faraci has to say.<\/p>\n

I will<\/i> say, however, that the movie is reportedly set circa 2015 \u2014 which fits, since Bale is in his early 30s, and John Connor was born in 1985<\/a> \u2014 and since the movie deals with an earlier stage of the war against the machines, it looks like the humans might be fighting some of those earlier Terminator models that we heard about in the first film, i.e. the rubber-skinned ones.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
