While talking about reprising his role as the mean machine after so many years, the actor said he was "really looking forward to it."

"I'm really looking forward to that because as you know, the last time when they did the Terminator," he said. "It was when I was Governor and so I couldn't be in that movie but now I'm back again and they are very excited about having me in the film."

The director of the film, Alan Taylor, had previously suggested that his inspirations for the reboot were derived from the Batman series

Taylor spoke about how much he loved the first two films in the Terminator franchise.

"We all love the first two and I actually went back and watched them again and my respect level only went up for those first two," he said of The Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgement Day.

The director went on to speak of a similar franchise being an inspiration for the fifth Terminator, suggesting that two films in the Batman franchise were "wonderful."

Terminator 5 is scheduled to release in July 2015.
