Adding to a list of potential sequels we’d all like to see, Arnold Schwarzenegger mentioned the possibility of doing a True Lies 2 this week. Speaking as part of a press tour for Terminator: Dark Fate, Schwarzenegger said he was open to going back to his 1994 role as Harry Tasker, a government agent keeping secrets from his family.

The actor has regularly expressed an interest in revisiting past parts, which aside from his comeback in the Terminator franchise, has included a new Conan movie and a sequel to Last Action Hero. Speaking to Screen Rant though, Schwarzenegger had this to say about reviving his 1990s characters:

“It’s always up to the fans; if they demand to see another movie like that.”

The actor also noted that he’ll only make a sequel if “a script is great” and presumably, the right people are involved to do justice to the original movies. If True Lies 2 does make it into development, Schwarzenegger could again be teaming up with the 1994 picture’s director James Cameron, who also produced Terminator: Dark Fate. However, the exact way in which True Lies 2 could bring back Tasker and the rest of the cast is unclear.

 

A True Lies sequel was reportedly in discussion back in 2011, when Tom Arnold described reading a script with Schwarzenegger that both were excited about. This screenplay apparently came with James Cameron’s blessing, but ultimately didn’t move forward in its development. True Lies 2 may even have gone ahead in 2002, but Cameron ended the project in the aftermath of 9/11, whereby a terrorism-themed picture risked being labelled as bad taste.
