Back in September, Paramount Pictures handed out release dates for two sequels to this summer's Terminator Genisys, with Terminator 6 hitting theaters May 19, 2017 and Terminator 7 arriving June 29, 2018. Unfortunately, that report did not include any details about which cast members are coming back for the sequels, but today, The Arnold Fans spoke with Arnold Schwarzenegger, who confirmed that he will be back for Terminator 6. Here's what the actor had to say, when asked if he was shooting the next Terminator sequel.

"Yes, of course, next year."

What remains to be seen is what other cast members from Terminator Genisys are coming back. Along with Arnold Schwarzenegger as the aging T-800 Terminator known as "Pops," the sci-fi action-thriller stars Emilia Clarke as Sarah Connor, Jason Clarke as John Connor and Jai Courtney as Reese. The supporting cast is rounded out by new Oscar winner J.K. Simmons, Matt Smith, Byung-hun Lee and Douglas Smith.

Alan Taylor directs Terminator Genisys, which hits theaters July 1, although it isn't known if he will return to the helm as well.
