Paramount Pictures has released the latest trailer for "Terminator: Genisys," revealing the movie bad guy and featuring a surprising plot twist.
In an unexpected plot twist that completely departed from the franchise's storyline, the second trailer for "Terminator: Genisys" was recently released showing audiences the main antagonist of the film and as well as an unforeseen plot twist.
In what entertainment websites are calling a major spoiler for the film, the trailer reveals the unanticipated villain of the film, changing everything audiences believe to be true about the "Terminator" universe.
The trailer, which opens up with the universally known storyline of John Connor (Jason Clarke), sending his trusted lieutenant Kyle Reese (Jai Courtney) back in time to save his mother, Sarah (Emilia Clarke), who is in danger of being assassinated by a cyborg sent by Skynet from the future to cut off the Resistance at its source before it has began.
Some surprising changes include Sarah Connor saving Kyle Reese from the T-1000 (Lee Byung-hun) instead of the other way around. In the new trailer, Connor tells Reese she has been expecting him for a decade, and introduces him to The Guardian (Arnold Schwarzenegger), an older T-800 model.
Apparently, the young Sarah Connor was orphaned as a child by an earlier T-800 sent to kill her, and she is raised by The Guardian, another T-800 programmed to keep her safe.
The unexpected twist is revealed when John Connor appears in his mother's present, revealing himself to be a powerful cyborg after having been compromised by Skynet and sent out with the goal to kill his own mother.
Sarah Connor, Kyle Reese, and The Guardian face a brutal battle to defeat John Connor, and to prevent the occurrence of Judgment Day.
"Terminator: Genisys" is due out in theaters July 1 and also stars Oscar winner, J.K. Simmons, Courtney B. Vance, and Sandrine Holt.
