Devin Faraci at CHUD on Wednesday gives us a further glimpse [1] into “Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins” by revealing new plot details. Warning: This is spoiler information.

John Conner (played by Christian Bale in the new film) is not the main character in the fourth film. He will have a more sizable role in the fifth movie.

The main character is a badass “Riddick”-like guy named Marcus (couldn’t they have come up with a better name?) who wakes up on post-apocalyptic Earth around 15 years before the future shown in the original “Terminator”.

When the producers said they are making a new trilogy, they aren’t kidding. The whole thing is apparently mapped out [meaning the fifth and six films as well].

Marcus is the star of the new trilogy.

No actor has been cast as Marcus [as of this posting].

The action in “Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins” (the upcoming fourth film) is described as “huge” including some battles with the T-600s.

The new story focuses on the degrees of difference between humans and terminator/human cyborgs.
