Bale lined up for 'Terminator 4'?

'3:10 To Yuma'

Christian Bale has reportedly signed up to appear in the fourth Terminator movie.

The Batman Begins star will take on the role of John Connor in Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins, according to Ain't It Cool News.

John Connor was played by the much younger Nick Stahl in Terminator 3: Rise Of The Machines, indicating that the new film may be set a long time after the third film.

Alternatively, Chud has claimed that Bale may be appearing as the new Terminator, replacing Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Warner Bros and The Halycon Company production studio have not commented on the speculation.
