With all that in mind, we’re not too sure if we should expect a “Terminator: Genisys 2” at this point, nor do we know if there is much sense in making a new film. Of course, the franchise still has lots of fans, but that could actually be seen as a reason to stop making new films.
Because, for people who’ve grown up with “Terminator” and saw the franchise evolve through time, watching it fall apart with the release of poorly thought out films is definitely a worse option than seeing it put to rest.
And if the people attached to the project still want to tell a similar story, they can easily pick up another franchise and branch out into that. Sure, it won’t have the benefit of instant recognition that the “Terminator” brand gives, but that could also be beneficial.
Because then fans wouldn’t have the same kinds of high expectations for the film, and they’re going to be able to approach it in a more level-headed manner. It might even evolve into a more serious franchise with similar recognition like the one that inspired it, we never know.
