How can you top the spectacle of the T-1000 in Terminator 2: Judgment Day? Well, a T-1000 can only form objects of equal size but this Terminator can do the opposite; it can duplicate itself, which reverse engineers (multiply its value) the entire concept of mimetic poly alloy!
Attendees of CinemaCon are reporting what they have seen from a Paramount slate teaser for Terminator: Dark Fate, and reactions are reportedly positive.
Apparently this Terminator can split in two? CGI still in progress but that’s a new twist for #TerminatorDarkFate! #CinemaCon

“I’ll be back,” says Sarah Conner after blowing away the new Terminator who splits into two as his new power. Just saw a few minutes from Dark Fate and it’s pretty slick. It looks very different but extremely cool. #Cinemacon

It is unknown if Gabriel Luna’s Terminator can multiply more than once (split in two) as it may start to become ridiculous and unrealistic- if there are 50 of him in the room (the heroes would not even stand a chance).
While the new CGI is apparently a work in progress; this sounds to us like a fresh concept for a tired formula, as the last 3 Terminator movies villains never felt like a true evolution.
What do you think of these new Terminator Villain abilities described? Let us know in the comments below.
Update:
Tim Miller also said at the event:
“One cool new feature, he can split so he’s twice as deadly”

This still doesn’t confirm if splitting into two is the limit but we will have to watch the movie to find out!
