Although "Terminator 5" has been slated for a July 2015 release, the makers of the movie remain tight-lipped about the film. As such, fans of the cinematic franchise had to make do with scraps, which come in the form of rumors, vague-ish cast interview hints, and leaked photos, like this recent one shared on social media.

"The first close-up of Arnold Schwarzenegger as an elderly, bruised cyborg in 'Terminator: Genisys' was revealed online by a fan who was visiting the Paramount set," Enstars said.

The photo in question "shows an older-looking Schwarzenegger, with, what looks to be either a shrapnell, or Schwarzenegger's metal interior, revealed through the skin cover."

This look portrays the former California governor as his old T-800 self again and has been described by the action movie icon in a previous interview.

"The way that the character is written, it's a machine underneath. It's this metal skeleton. But above that is human flesh. And the Terminator's flesh ages, just like any other human being's flesh. Maybe not as fast. But it definitely ages," Arnold was quoted by Enstars as saying.

"Terminator deals a lot with time travel, so there will be a younger T-800 and then what that model does later on when it gets reprogrammed, and who gets a hold of him. So it will be all kinds of interesting twists in the movie, but I feel so good," he also added.

This recent photo revelation was seen as a welcome respite from the previous ones, which "were not well received," according to SlashFilm. "Neither was the plot description that went with them."

"There's a sense that all parties involved have some real damage control to do. Which is why it is odd that a pretty good image of Arnold Schwarzenegger in makeup as the aged T-800 has been half-hidden on the lot at Paramount," the site added.

James Cameron, the creator of the franchise, had previously revealed why we'll be seeing Arnold's old self on "Terminator 5":

"I pointed out that the outer covering (of the Terminator) was actually not synthetic, that it was organic and therefore could age," the "Avatar" director said. "You could theoretically have a Terminator that was sent back in time, missed his target, and ended up just kind of living on in society."

"Because he is a learning computer and has a brain as a central processor he could actually become more human as he went along without getting discovered," he added in closing, as noted by Screen Crush.
