I'm sure he can pull it off, but not sure if he can compete too long with current action stars.

Stallone is a year older then Arnold and he's still doing it. Arnold can do it just fine. I don't know how I feel about more Terminator and Predator movies. Undoubtedly him being in it would help but if the films aren't well made it could just be a disappointment. Predators was a boring modern day rehash of the first film and the last 2 Terminator movies left much to be desired. Even with Arnold T 3 is unwatchable, and this is coming from that guy who owns every film he's ever been in and has them in chronological order on his DVD rack.

I also think it would be weird for him to play the title role he played years ago in a remake of his own movie. Might be the first time that's ever happened. Comic book character? Arnold as the Punisher, seriously it would work. In Punisher MAX Frank was Arnold's age.

But Punisher MAX a) looks nothing like Arnold (and I'm aware it ins't necessary), but he's strikingly different. b) MAX Punisher is -usually- very introspective, and intelligent. Arnold, though he isn't dumb, could have trouble portraying that.

Stevenson was a great Punisher, but the movie was lame.

Arnold as Galactus. Now we're talking.

Hey, I'm always down for more Arnold, most especially for more Arnold in Predator and Terminator movies.

A little odd that he mentions the bit about the "Predator remake." "Predators" was, for most intents and purposes, just that. On a larger scale.

No Predator, no Terminator, no comic book adaptations, damn it all... I'd love to see Ahnold in some new action/sci-fi flicks. Something great like Total Recall.

Can Arnold mask his accent though?

Can't be any worse then the Mexican guy in War Zone who was so obviously not Mexican it was painfully hilarious. Honestly though I don't think it would matter. I know Frank is all American but they could write around that. I mean they found a way to explain why Mr. Freeze looked like, and indeed was, Mr. Universe.

I wouldn't mind seeing him in a new Terminator film, although I didn't care much for the third film.
