The timing of work on the third part was not specified. The further fate of the popular franchise at the time of this writing was not known. The movie "Terminator 5: Genisys" was presented to viewers in 2015. Key roles in the movie were played by Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jason Clarke, Emilia Clarke, Jay Courtney, J.K. Simmons, Dio Okenai, Matt Smith and other actors. The project was relatively successful at the box office, grossing $ 440 million on a production budget of $ 150 million, but was criticized by fans for the miscasting and storyline.
