Close-Ups of Arnold Schwarzenegger in New Terminator Genesis Set Photos

Arnold Schwarzenegger reprises his role as the titular cyborg in Terminator: Genesis, aka Terminator 5, and Emilia Clarke, famous for her role as Daenerys Targaryen on HBO's Game of Thrones, joins him as Sarah Connor. Some new set photos of the aging cyborg have surfaced online and give a great look at Arnold's famous character.

The folks at Moviewebb posted the photos, which feature a gray-haired Schwarzenegger with cuts on his face, a cigar in his mouth and his traditional black outfit over his body.

To explain the T-800's older appearance, Schwarzenegger spoke to MTV and explained that the Terminator's flesh ages, though not as rapidly as a human's:

"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. 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."

Comic Book Movie also posted the following description of what fans can expect as far as time travel in Terminator: Genesis, which hits theaters on July 1, 2015:

"Kind of like Back to The Future, the Terminator: Genesis script folds into the first film in the series...There's a scene in the script where literally, we see the scene in the first Terminator where Arnold steps out, the punks threaten him, he rips Bill Paxton's heart out and takes his clothes and wanders off. And as soon as that scene ends, another Arnold Schwarzenegger who's older, and bearded and a very different version of the Terminator, comes walking in from the other side and plays another scene, right at the scene of that first incident."
