Will Robert Patrick return for another Terminator film?!

By now, most people know Robert Patrick as the fantastic metallic villain from Terminator 2 (T2).  It goes without saying that the man delivered, and provided one of the better on screen villains in recent memory. 

Now, comes news on the heels of this year’s Wondercon, that director McG who  is working on completing Terminator Salvation, is trying to find a way to get Mr. Patrick back on the screen for the next Terminator film after salvation. McG stated during the press panel according to FearNet: “I talk to Robert Patrick with great regularity,” he said. “It’s interesting – I was [thinking of] a through line. I’ll bounce it off of you guys: I like the idea in a prospective next picture that you meet Robert Patrick the way he looks today, and he’s a scientist that’s working on improving cell replication so we can stay healthier and we can cure juvenile diabetes and all these things that once again sound like good ideas — and once again live as an idealized expression of ourselves. So imagine seeing a sixty-year-old Robert Patrick and knowing, ‘Holy shit! That’s gonna be the T-1000 – who comes back perfect, lean and the whole thing.’ I haven’t concluded that, but Robert and I had dinner the other night and talked about it. I made two movies with Robert Patrick, so I like him very much. And now he’s very heavily into motorcycle riding. He’s a really serious guy.”

I guess,  you can not say that McG is not an ambitious man, as he has a rumored role in Terminator Salvation for Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, and is actively speaking to John Connors mom Linda Hamilton for a role in this film, which if she agrees will more than likely be doing voice over work during the beginning of the film as was done during Terminator 2.  McG even attempted to get blessing from Terminator 1 & 2 director James Cameron while on the Avatar set to do Terminator Salvation (but was denied it).
