After starring in Netflix's animated series 'Terminator Zero', actor André Holland expresses his desire to reprise his role as Malcolm Lee in a future live-action Terminator film. Holland's enthusiasm stems from the positive reception of the anime series and the possibility of exploring his character's backstory further. The article discusses the potential timelines and storylines that could accommodate Malcolm's return, considering the franchise's time travel mechanics and James Cameron's plans for the next installment.
As James Cameron continues his work on the next installment in the Terminator franchise, André Holland is weighing in on reprising his role as Malcolm Lee in live-action. The acclaimed star made his franchise debut in the Netflix anime show, Terminator Zero, starring as Malcolm Lee, a scientist racing to perfect an artificial intelligence that can rival Skynet and stop Judgment Day.
Developed and showrun by The Batman — Part II's Mattson Tomlin, Terminator Zero scored rave reviews from critics and audiences, while leaving just enough room open for future stories. During an interview with ScreenRant at the Sundance Film Festival premiere of his new movie, Love, Brooklyn, Holland was asked about the possibility of returning as Malcolm Lee to the Terminator franchise. The Zero star was very enthusiastic in his hopes to reprise his character, recalling the final day of recording the dialogue for his character, in which he told the producers to seriously consider him if Malcolm crossed over to live-action. 'Man, listen, I had so much fun doing that,' Holland shared. 'And when we finished, I remember the day we finished, we walked out the door and I said to them, 'If you guys do this, please call me, because I would love to do it.' It was so much fun.' While most franchises would view a character's death as their ending, the Terminator franchise is certainly no stranger to reviving characters, which is largely down to its time travel formula. As explained in the anime, the rules Tomlin adhered to is that, every time a human or machine traveled back in time, it created an entirely new timeline. With this in mind, it's entirely possible for the next Terminator movie to be set in a present-day timeline, in which Malcolm is still alive and still putting together Kokoro. The other possibility for how Malcolm could return in the next movie is if Terminator 7 was once again set in the post-apocalyptic timeline. While he's remained mum on details for the next film, Cameron has previously indicated it will do away with the 'distinct iconography', even as it explores the same themes of the originals. With this in mind, the door certainly is open for Cameron, in an effort to move away from the oft-treaded Connor family story, to consider bringing back Holland as Malcolm.
