James Cameron will reunite Arnold Schwarzenegger with Linda Hamilton to make a statement on gender roles in action movies.
Linda Hamilton will reprise her role as Sarah Connor in the sixth Terminator film, 26 years since her last appearance.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, director James Cameron made the announcement at a private event celebrating the franchise.
Cameron announced he was reuniting the first film's two main actors, Schwarzenegger and Hamilton, in an effort to change the perception of gender roles in action films.
"As meaningful as she was to gender and action stars everywhere back then, it's going to make a huge statement to have that seasoned warrior that she's become return," he said.
"There are 50-year-old, 60-year-old guys out there killing bad guys, but there isn't an example of that for women."
The film is already in pre-production, with Deadpool's Tim Miller behind the camera and Cameron himself coming up with the story.
According to THR, Cameron and Miller have created a writers room to turn the story into a script and hired David Goyer, whose writing credits include the Dark Knight series.
Hamilton first starred as Sarah Connor in the 1984 original film, reprising her role seven years later for Judgement Day.
