MTV recently spoke with Bryce Howard and McG regarding the future of the Terminator films. McG seems to have it all worked out…

“That’s to be explored in the prospective second and third picture. We’ve arced out a story that includes that child and its fate and what it becomes in this world of man versus machine. It will also be the genesis of [Sam Worthington's character] Marcus, the coming of time travel and the fate of John Connor himself. We’ve marked out all those stories. And the child plays a critical role in it.”

Child? That’s where Bryce Howard comes in, as she spoke on the future of the films…

“In the third film, it was suggested that their children together become important. That Kate eventually becomes the leader of the resistance when John Connor dies and that their children together become influential as well. Obviously, that’s in a future that we’re all working to prevent, because we don’t want John Connor to be killed — but it is obviously implied that there are children involved.”
