Douglas Smith Joins Terminator Genesis aka Terminator 5

The cast of Terminator: Genesis aka Terminator 5 has grown by one member, as Deadline reports Douglas Smith from Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters will be in the movie, which director Alan Taylor is currently filming in New Orleans.

The site says his role is "under wraps," but we can speculate on his part based on what we know about the plot so far. The movie heavily involves time travel, more so than previous films in the franchise, and Smith is a young actor, so it's likely he could play a young John Connor (Jason Clarke) or Kyle Reese (Jai Courtney).

Arnold Schwarzenegger reprises his role as the titular cyborg in Terminator: Genesis, aka Terminator 5, and Emilia Clarke, famous for her role as Daenerys Targaryen on HBO's Game of Thrones, joins him as Sarah Connor. Some new set photos of the aging cyborg have surfaced online and give a great look at Arnold's famous character.

The folks at Moviewebb posted the photos, which feature a gray-haired Schwarzenegger with cuts on his face, a cigar in his mouth and his traditional black outfit over his body.

To explain the T-800's older appearance, Schwarzenegger spoke to MTV and explained that the Terminator's flesh ages, though not as rapidly as a human's:

"Terminator deals a lot with time travel, so there will be a younger T-800, and then what that model does later on when it gets reprogrammed, and who gets a hold of him. So it will be all kinds of interesting twists in the movie, but I feel so good. The way that the character is written, it's a machine underneath. It's this metal skeleton. But above that is human flesh. And the Terminator's flesh ages, just like any other human being's flesh. Maybe not as fast. But it definitely ages."
