Christian Bale’s Original Terminator 4 Role Was WAY Better

Christian Bale was originally offered the role of Marcus Wright in Terminator: Salvation and the uncanny part would have been perfect for the star.

Yeah, It would have been cool to see Christian Bale as Marcus; however, I would never have liked the idea of John Connor becoming a Terminator, per the script.

I still really, really like this film -- though I really dislike the third act. Something better should have been written. I wished this film would have continued into a proper trilogy, but as I understand it, it was meant to fail in the first place [by allowing the film budget to bloom way over causing less rate of return on ticket sales] as others behind the scenes were working to obtain the Terminator rights to create their own trilogy, i.e., 'Terminator: Genisys' [call it karhma].
