The future of the Terminator franchise is looking bleak after the disappointing reaction to this summer’s reboot.

Featuring Doctor Who star Matt Smith alongside Emilia Clarke (Game of Thrones) as Sarah Connor, Jai Courtney (A Good Day to Die Hard) as Kyle Reese and Jason Clarke (Zero Dark Thirty) as John Connor, Terminator Genisys was released in cinemas in July.

Matt Smith confirmed earlier this year that he is contracted for future films in the rebooted franchise: “I am part of the sequels, yes, so I’ll be around for two and three. Which is good. Keeps me employed for a while!”

However, THR now claims that “the notion of a Terminator universe is on hold indefinitely” following the poor box office performance for Terminator Genisys, which cost over $150 million to make.

Two sequels had been lined up by Paramount for release in 2017 and 2018.
