But movie hunk Hugh Jackman's hulking frame ensures The Terminator will be the last thing on anyone's mind as he assembles a superpowered team without parallel in the new X-Men: Days Of Future Past trailer.
The Australian beefcake is on top form as he tries to avert a dystopian future by roping in the young versions of the mutant team featured in 2011's First Class prequel to take part in a mission masterminded by Patrick Stewart's wily old Professor X.
He has a bone to pick with someone: Beefcake

But most interesting is the trailer's opening, where he tracks down James McAvoy's disillusioned young Charles Xavier and has to persuade him to again fight for his dream of a world where mutants and humans happily co-exist.
He tells him: 'Professor, your going to find this hard to believe. I was sent here for you from the future, 50 years from now.'
He then explains that mankind's very existence is under threat because of the rampaging robots.

He says: 'In the begnning the sentinels were just targetting mutants. Then they began targetting everyone.
'I've come a long way to guide us, to bring us together, The X-Men. We need your help.
And when the young Professor says he should tell whoever sent him he is 'busy,' Wolvering replies, 'The person who sent me was you.'
Wolverine is then seen gathering together the rest of the mutants he needs to combat the threat, including Nicholas Hoult's The Beast and Evan Peters' Quicksilver.
But most importantly, they have to bust Magneto, the Yin to Professor X's Yang, out of a prison below The Pentagon.

Most intriguingly of all, viewers also see Peter Dinklage's Bolivar Trask, the villainous scientist who creates the powerful Sentinel robots as a means to wipe out mutants from the face of the Earth.
He is shown telling what appears to be a congressional committee: 'There is a new enemy out there. You'll need a new weapon for this war.'
The movie's director Brian Singer, who helmed the acclaimed first and second movies in the X-Men franchise, previously explained the concepts in the film, and how it differs from First Class.
He said: ''This is a story about a bad future, not a bad situation with an individual, but a bad future and how do you go back and change that.

'When I pitched X-Men: First Class it was always "how do I explain how Xavier and Magneto became friends?" and then frenemies, and this explains how they became Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellan.
'Those incarnations of the characters, because look at who he was, this rich kid from Oxford and the other was off on a revenge mission.
'It wasn’t so much the belief system and in the end you have a hint of Patrick Stewart because Xavier is wheeling up to a school potentially, or to his mansion.
'And with Erik (Magneto) you have the same thing, you have Shaw’s theology, which he acknowledges agreeing to, but they haven’t put them into practice and you haven’t started to see them become those characters that you met in the early X-Men films. So you’ll get to watch that kind of happen.'

Meanwhile Anna Paquin's cameo as Rogue has been put back into the final cut of the film, with her name now appearing in the trailer credits.
Bryan Singer had originally cut out the sequence she appeared in, but an outcry from fans led to a rethink.
The time bending affair, which also features Jennifer Lawrence, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellan and Halle Berry, is due to be released on May 23.
