Greetings all, and welcome to the latest installment of The Monitor, WIRED’s roundup of all things pop culture. What’s in store today? First up, we have a new trailer for the latest Terminator flick. Second, there’s another John Wick movie coming in 2021. Finally, Christoper Nolan keeps adding to the Murderers’ Row of a cast he’s assembling for his next movie. Let’s get started.
Hey Terminator fans, have you ever sat around and wondered, “Man, I wonder what happened the day after Judgment Day”? Good news. You’re about to find out! Terminator: Dark Fate picks up where Terminator 2 left off, and features not only the return of Arnold Schwarzenegger as T-800 but also Linda Hamilton as Sarah Connor. Naturally, she shows up with a giant gun to blow things up. Dark Fate, directed by Deadpool’s Tim Miller, hits theaters November 1.

Hot on the heels of John Wick: Chapter 3—Parabellum knocking Avengers: Endgame off of its box office perch, Lionsgate announced this week that there’s now a fourth installment coming to theaters. No other details are known, but the next Wick flick is scheduled to land May 21, 2021.
As if nabbing Widows actress Elizabeth Debicki, Twilight star Robert Pattinson, and BlacKkKlansman’s John David Washington wasn’t enough, director Christopher Nolan just cast Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Kenneth Branagh in his next film. Little is known about the project, titled Tenet, but it is set to hit theaters July 17, 2020.
