 The end of the legal disputes coincided with the willingness and availability of Cameron , Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton to participate in the sequel ; Schwarzenegger , who portrayed the Terminator in the first film , commented : " I always felt we should continue the story of The Terminator , I told Jim that right after we finished the first film . " He and Hamilton reprised their respective roles from the first Terminator film . After an extensive casting search , 12 @-@ year @-@ old Edward Furlong was selected from hundreds of candidates to portray John Connor ; Robert Patrick was chosen to play the T @-@ 1000 Terminator because his agility would emphasize the disparity between the advanced T @-@ 1000 and Schwarzenegger 's older T @-@ 800 ( Cameron characterized the two as " a Porsche " and " a human Panzer tank " respectively ) . Patrick had previously appeared in the action feature Die Hard 2 , but Furlong had no formal acting experience . Joe Morton was picked to portray Miles Dyson , a Cyberdyne scientist who helped develop the new CPU for the T @-@ 800 Terminators .

 Christian Bale as John Connor . Director McG deemed Bale " the most credible action star in the world " during development . McG wanted Bale for Marcus , but the actor — even though he " can 't really remember why " — wanted to play John , and that led to the character 's role getting expanded in rewrites of the script . Bale was the first person to be cast and signed on for the role in November 2007 . McG talked extensively with Bale in the UK about the role while the latter was filming The Dark Knight , and they both agreed to proceed . Although a fan of the Terminator series , he was at first uninterested until McG convinced him the story would be character @-@ based and not rely on special effects . They kept working on the story every day , along with Worthington . McG said Bale broke his hand punching a Terminator prop during filming . Bale also spent six to eight hours each day with McG in the editing room to advise the finished product .

Despite not appearing in the film , Rose McGowan voiced the character of Angie Salter , an ex @-@ high school teacher . The game is set in 2016 , after the events of Terminator 3 : Rise of the Machines and before the events of Terminator Salvation .
