He’ll be back: Roles we want to see Arnold Schwarzenegger revisit

Arnold Schwarzenegger in Last Action Hero

With Arnold Schwarzenegger’s return to the Terminator franchise (and planned reappearance in the Conan series), here are three other roles we’d like to see him revisit:

Last Action Hero (1993) Just because a movie has “last” in its title doesn’t mean it can’t have a sequel, and this unfairly maligned meta-action movie is due for a resurgence. It could be the perfect fit for the current era of excessively self-aware pop culture.

Arnold Schwarzenegger in Kindergarten Cop

Predator (1987) Schwarzenegger has been absent from this movie’s various sequels and spinoffs, and his return as Dutch, the Delta Force commando who defeated the first alien hunter, might bring some excitement back to the franchise. If nothing else, a grizzled Dutch could whip the predator’s latest would-be victims into fighting shape.

Kindergarten Cop (1990) Who doesn’t want to hear Arnie scream “It’s not a tumor!” again? Maybe with the rumored remake on the horizon, Schwarzenegger could take on the role of school principal to a younger, hipper kindergarten cop played by an MMA fighter or something.
