‘Terminator: Genisys’ – James Cameron Reveals Logic Behind An Older Robot

Arnold Schwarzenegger will be back as a cyborg in "Terminator: Genisys." James Cameron, the director of the first movie from the franchise, has revealed how the ageing actor can play the role even though robots do not age. [Spoiler Alert]

Arnold Schwarzenegger has played the role of the cyborg first in 1984, in the movie "The Terminator." The actor was 37 years old at that time. The actor has also played the role in the subsequent movies by the franchise that were released in 1991 and 2003. He was not part of the 2009 movie as he was the Governor of California at that time.

Speaking to Deadline, James Cameron revealed that he wanted to put in a good word for Arnold to play the cyborg in the movie. He reportedly pointed out to the producers of "Terminator: Genisys" that the outer covering of the cyborg was not synthetic but organic. This would allow the cyborg to age, although the ageing process would be much different compared to human beings.

Hinting at a possible plot premise for the movie, the director said that the cyborg could have travelled back in time, missed its target and continued to live among human beings without being detected for a long time.

Readers who have seen the movie "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" will remember John Connor asking whether the cyborg was a machine underneath but "sort of alive outside." Arnold was seen answering that he was a "cybernetic organism, living tissue over metal endoskeleton."

The actor confirmed that there will be two cyborgs featuring in "Terminator: Genisys" in an interview to MTV. One is the younger version that gets captured and reprogrammed and later the same cyborg is older but is different, thanks to the reprogramming. The actor also mentioned that the cyborg had living flesh that ages over time.

James Cameron further elaborated that the cyborg had a central processor as a brain and can continue to live and learn in human society. He reportedly said that the cyborg could become more human as time goes by with his interaction with other human beings. Will the cyborgs in "Terminator: Genesis" be more human than machine?
