While the first trailer of 'Terminator: Genisys' may have teased a lot of information to its fans (more than what it should have, as most critics would say), the release of the new pictures which include J.K. Simmons would add more hype to the coming film. The image of Simmons' character looking on at Schwarzenegger's aged Terminator 'Guardian' holding what looks to be a katana (the sword used by samurai warriors) is enough for fans to get excited as to what this Oscar-winning actor can bring to the science-fiction blockbuster.
There is still much speculation as to how significant Simmons' character will be in the film, although the image does give fans a hint of how he will portray the character. It appears that detective O'Brien is aware of the existence of the Terminator and will be using his status as a police detective to help old Arnie in his quest of protecting Sarah Connor. One thing to point out though, is that fans expecting Simmons to play a major role in the movie can be a bit disappointing (according to a report by Cinema Blend), as 'Terminator Genisys' would be focusing on Kyle Reese, Sarah Connor and the older T-800.
Another image that was included in the release showed a T-800 endoskeleton driving a vehicle (likely a truck). The background may indicate that this shot is in the future, where Skynet has achieved global control.
'Terminator: Genisys' premieres in theaters on July 1.
