Hamilton revealed that she got into shape for the role so much that the production team built her a new bottom. She said “They added bottom. Something you don’t ever see coming in your life. Who wants more bottom?”

There were rumours that Michael Biehn would be back to play Kyle Reese however, he confirmed in an interview that he would not be back. 

Speaking of a potential movie in the future Hamilton said “It’ll have to do really well, because it was really pricey. So it’s going to have to turn quite a lot of money before it goes into profit.”
