In fact, he’s even come up with a great idea to bring his Marcus Wright character back (as you’ll recall, Marcus didn’t exactly have a happy ending at the end of “Terminator Salvation”), and it involves — what else? — time travel.
Worthington tells MTV:
“I had an idea that we’d go back in time to when Marcus was first put in jail,” the actor explained, referring to his character’s status as a death-row inmate years before being turned into a machine. “They broke Linda Hamilton out of jail in ['Terminator 2: Judgment Day'], out of the nuthouse. In this one, they’d have to go back in time and break Marcus out of jail. It’s the same kind of mirror image.”
Apparently the studio didn’t cotton to the idea and told Worthington to get lost. Or actually, they just said no at the time.
In any case, the fate of a “Terminator 5″ remains up in the air, but given the franchise’s popularity, I’m pretty sure it will, as it were, be back sooner or later. Hopefully by the time that happens, people will stop putting Worthington in every movie. I have nothing against the guy, but come on, there’s got to be another actor out there, right? Who made this law that Sam Worthington has to be in every single big-budget Hollywood movie? It’s getting ridiculous.
