After Dark Fate, actor Linda Hamilton would rather put Sarah Connor, the iconic hero of the Terminator franchise, behind her for good.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Hamilton was asked about if she thought she'd be able to return to the role in the future. "No," she said. "Something says to me… I don’t know. I would really appreciate maybe a smaller version where so many millions are not at stake."
"Today’s audience is just so unpredictable," she continued. " I can’t tell you how many laymen just go, 'Well, people don’t go to the movies anymore.' That’s not Hollywood analysis; that just comes out of almost everybody’s mouth. It should definitely not be such a high-risk financial venture, but I would be quite happy to never return. So, no, I am not hopeful because I would really love to be done. But, if there were something new that really spoke to me, I am a logical person, and I will always consider viable changes."

Despite a positive critical reception, Terminator: Dark Fate stalled at the box office, only opening slightly higher than the unpopular Terminator: Genesys. Dark Fate grossed $261.1 million worldwide, but fell short of the roughly $450 million needed for its producers, Paramount and Skydance Media, to break even.
The movie's box office scuttled series creator and producer James Cameron's plans for a new Terminator trilogy that would have started with Dark Fate. Currently, there are no reported plans for a new movie.
Directed by Tim Miller and produced by James Cameron, Terminator: Dark Fate stars Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton, Mackenzie Davis, Gabriel Luna, Natalia Reyes and Diego Boneta,
