Sure, the attempted franchise reboot Terminator Genisys didn't exactly set the critical world or box office on fire. But now it appears that after the weak performance of the film, at least one actor is ready to wash their hands of the experience overall.

At ComingSoon.net, the movie's own Sarah Connor – Game of Thrones actress Emilia Clarke – backed off from any future involvement with the franchise. Plans for a direct sequel to the film were said to be "re-adjusting" in the wake of its performance.

"No," Clarke said flatly when asked if she might return to the part. "Can I say that? It’s okay. No. Uh-uh. But I have some very different roles coming up."

Clarke has had a somewhat contentious relationship with her star-making turns in genre entertainment over the past few years, but aside from her continued presence as Daenerys Targaryen on Thrones, the actress is looking to branch out into more dramatic fare in the years ahead starting with her upcoming turn in Warner Bros. adaptation of Jojo Moyes' novel Me Before You.

"I read the book and it was just the most beautiful thing I had ever read," she told the site. "I was shooting Terminator at the time and had a rocket launcher in my hand while crying like a little girl. I felt like the author, Jojo Moyes, had found a part of me and just wrote it down. I knew that I just had to play the role."
