Arnold Schwarzenegger is the name synonymous with one of Hollywood’s most successful action franchises, Terminator. If you do think about it, there is no other face that would rather come into your mind apart from the 75-year-old Austrian star. After all, he has single-handedly led almost all the movies in the franchise, even earning the title of ’22nd greatest villain’ and ’48th greatest hero’ of the last 100 years in film on AFI’s ‘100 Years, 100 Heroes and Villains’ list. (How about Dwayne Johnson though?)

Understandably, it might get hard to imagine anyone else apart from him taking up the role. Thus the failure of the multiple attempts to recapture the original masterpiece created by James Cameron. However, a new AI art by Digital Artist Paul Chadwick replaced the WWE Hall of Fame with Dwayne Johnson and it just looks perfect. With the right director on board, we might as well get to live the glory once again.

The Rock is perhaps the most perfect fit to replace the former California governor, not only because they have got an equally bulky physique, but the Jumanji actor has also established himself as the industry’s most-grossing action hero. Furthermore, The Rock is not the only one to replace the 7-time Olympia winner; we have an entirely new cast. We have new faces for other prominent characters as well.

Fans Use Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Iconic ‘Terminator’ to Prove How Dwayne Johnson’s ‘Ego’ Sank the ‘Black Adam’ Franchise

Jennifer Lawrence, Tom Holland, and Keanu Reeves are also on board along with Dwayne Johnson

While Keanu Reeves’s younger version becomes the face of Kyle Reese in this dream cast, Jennifer Lawrence is his choice for the foe-turned-protector terminator Sarah Connor alongside the Black Adam actor. Her expertise in action flicks and her inherent dramatic chops perhaps makes her a perfect fit for the role which Linda Hamilton and then Emilia Clarke very elegantly played previously.

As for the unnerving T-1000, Tom Hiddleston replaces Robert Patrick in Chadwick’s dream cast.

Lastly, to give a jaw-dropping touch to this all-encompassing cast for a reboot of the Terminator movies, Chadwick has Tom Holland to play the character of John Connor.

The reboot is, however, far from becoming reality, but if it happens, we do have a cool star-studded cast now.
