Nick Stahl has revealed that he will not be returning to reprise his role in Terminator 4.

He also added that co-star Claire Danes will not appear in the movie, as the storyline is too far in the future.

The actor, who played John Connor in T3, told Sci-Fi Wire: "None of the cast is coming back. The story is changing conceptually. I believe it's a jump to the future, so my character will be quite a bit older. That's all that I know. So I'm not coming back, which is a drag."

Given the producer's current plans, it is unlikely that the original terminator, Arnold Schwarzenegger, will appear in the fourth instalment either.
