Schwarzenegger hits he may return in 'Terminator: Salvation'

The year's in the governor's office haven't been kind to Arnold Schwarzenegger. He looks like he's aged 10 years instead of five since 2003's "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines."

SACRAMENTO, California (AP) — Arnold Schwarzenegger might be back as the Terminator after all, despite his day job as California governor.

Schwarzenegger confirmed in a Webcast interview that his image might appear in next month's "Terminator: Salvation," the fourth movie in the franchise about a showdown between humanity and machines.

The governor says he made it clear he had no time to shoot new footage but that the filmmakers are playing with technology to insert his image from the earlier "Terminator" movies.

Schwarzenegger says he told director McG he will come to the premiere of the movie, which stars Christian Bale as leader of the human resistance against machine conquerors.

"Terminator: Salvation" opens nationwide on May 21.
