Original John Connor actor Edward Furlong recently shared his candid thoughts on the decision to kill off his character in Terminator: Dark Fate, the 2019 film directed by Tim Miller. The movie marked the return of Linda Hamilton as Sarah Connor and Arnold Schwarzenegger as the T-800, with a storyline that shockingly reveals the death of John Connor at the hands of a T-800 following the events of Terminator 2: Judgment Day.
Furlong, who reprised his role as John in a motion capture capacity, reflected on his return to the character during an interview on a podcast. He mentioned that his return coincided with his journey to sobriety, expressing gratitude for the opportunity to portray the character again, even if it was only for a brief moment.
