On July 17th Tim Miller spoke to EW again about a new alternate future, Terminators and characters. We already delved into a theory based on this information that Kyle Reese may be the villain and leader of the resistance in the future where resistance soldiers are being augmented (Mackenzie Davis’ Grace is an ‘Augment’).
Tim Miller to EW:
“There’s this new future because of what Sarah did at the end of Terminator 2, and it’s worse than ever, and that gives us the opportunity for these new characters. Gabriel comes from something that is not Skynet, but it’s like Skynet. And Mackenzie comes from something that Kyle Reese and the Resistance did. I tried to keep Gabriel a bit grounded while still interesting; I feel his new weapons and abilities are right for our times but not so ridiculous that it just turns into a visual effects superfest. And the same with Mackenzie’s character — I really liked her origin story. We did an early writer’s room and Joe Abercrombie came up with her as this super soldier from the future, but it comes at a cost to be one of these people. They’re the first people to die, they’re the shock troops who protect the rest of humanity, and her readiness to sacrifice is a really interesting way to come at a character.”
The emphasis of Tim Miller’s new words of course sounded a lot like ‘LEGION’ from the leaks.
Youtuber Mr. H now has leaked audio of Dani Ramos ( Natalia Reyes) talking to, what sounds like, a male resistance fighter (maybe Tom Hopper’s ‘Hadrell’?). Dani is ranting about LEGION which – from the leaks is an anti-terrorist program created in the new timeline from the after effects of blowing up Cyberdyne in Terminator 2.
John Connor ‘seemingly’ being killed as a child is part of these consequences for Sarah Connor.
Listen to the leaked audio in the video below:

“HK’s. Shoot me and you’ll all be dead in seconds. THIS is what Legion wants us to do – kill each other. We should be fighting the machines, not each other.”

“What do you want? We can’t win”

“I need you to fight, I need you to be strong. All of you.”

“Look around you lady! This is Legion’s world!”
