This is the first look at Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington), the major wild card character in the upcoming fourth installment in the Terminator series. Rumors abound about Marcus’ background - and humanness - but most of them are too spoilerific to post here, so let’s just go with what we know and see: he’s a major character, he’s not John Connor, he looks pretty serious and maybe, just maybe, there’s frayed a wire poking out from beneath his clavicle. I mean, it’s probably just his shirt, but it’s pretty suggestive. In other words, ladies and gentlemen, we might have ourselves a new Arnie. [Terminator Salvation on Giz]

Set in post-apocalyptic 2018, John Connor (Bale) is the man fated to lead the human resistance against Skynet and its army of Terminators. But the future Connor was raised to believe in is altered in part by the appearance of Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington), a stranger whose last memory is of being on death row. Connor must decide whether Marcus has been sent from the future, or rescued from the past. As Skynet prepares its final onslaught, Connor and Marcus both embark on an odyssey that takes them into the heart of Skynet’s operations, where they uncover the terrible secret behind the possible annihilation of mankind.
