Mackenzie Davis is in talks to join the cast of the sixth “Terminator” film, individuals with knowledge of negotiations have told TheWrap.
Series creator James Cameron will produce the film with Skydance’s David Ellison producing. Tim Miller (“Deadpool”) is directing the film, with longtime series stars Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton also starring in the series.
“Captain Phillips” writer Billy Ray has been brought on to polish the script.
Davis has made a big name for herself in the sci-fi world in recent years, most notably starring alongside Gugu Mbatha-Raw in the Emmy-winning “Black Mirror” episode “San Junipero.” She has also appeared in “Blade Runner 2049” as replicant freedom fighter Mariette and in “The Martian” as NASA engineer Mindy Park.
Paramount will release “Terminator 6” on July 26, 2019. Mackenzie Davis is repped by UTA and Sloane, Offer, Weber & Dern.
