Director Tim Miller has stated that returning star Arnold Schwarzenegger will not be digitally de-aged for the upcoming sixth film in the franchise, Terminator: Dark Fate.
It would have been easy for Miller to de-age Arnold Schwarzenegger for the purposes of Dark Fate as the technology has become rather commonplace in recent years.
Why Schwarzenegger’s Terminator: Dark Fate T-800 is living in a shack out in the sticks, or why he has been given the surprisingly ordinary name of ‘Carl’ is still to be revealed, but we will get our answers come the film’s release on October 25th.
In a conversation with Men’s Health, Miller vocalized his passion for keeping Arnie, and thereby the T-800, old and grey.
