Although the events of "Terminator: Dark Fate" erase Schwarzenegger's T-800 character from existence, Cameron did not rule out the possibility of Schwarzenegger reprising the character: "Look, if we make a shit ton of money with this film ["Terminator: Dark Fate"] and the cards say that they like Arnold, I think Arnold can come back. I'm a writer. I can think of scenarios. We don't have a plan for that right now, let me put it that way." Natalia Reyes was to reprise her role for a sequel. Hamilton said in October 2019 that she would probably reprise her role as well, although she joked that she would fake her own death to avoid appearing in it, saying that making "Terminator: Dark Fate" "really was hard" because of the physical training she had to undergo. Hamilton later said that she would be happy not to star in another "Terminator" film, but she kept the possibility open, with a potential exception being that a sequel be done on a smaller scale and budget.
