I don't know if it was an idea that came up during the Dark Fate production when they drafted a bunch of sci-fi writers in (I made some notes) but I'd do something that plays with all the films and the nature of time travel. Because travelling back in time doesn't change the future, it creates a different timeline, so the Terminator films (and possible) futures all exist on a continually branching framework and, after each jump back, they thwart one AI's plans but it seems like AIs are almost inevitable, so you just change track to another grim future. So the characters finally realise this and devise a way to jump between timelines, bring together different versions to solve the problem and break the cycle.
That's a cool idea, let's make it the finale of a 7 part Terminator movie series. Final film debuts 2028!
It would have to as it would essentially kill the franchise. Or would it?
