Christian Bale has signed to play John Connor in a total of three Terminator movies, it was confirmed at Cannes.

The actor is currently shooting fourth instalment Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins, which is due for release next May.

Victor Kubicek of makers Halcyon told the BBC that Bale will play the rebel leader in two more films, saying: "Christian was our first choice and he's a big fan of The Terminator, so we're very lucky.

"But with Batman, he's already done the whole franchise thing, so we weren't sure he'd respond."

Common, Sam Worthington, Anton Yelchin and Moon Bloodgood will also star in the fourth film, which is directed by McG.

Bale will next be seen in Batman Begins sequel The Dark Knight.
