It's called "getting old," she's sixty.

Meaning what? She would be accepted by the public with open arms if she portrayed Sarah Connor again? Sarah Connor the ripped bad-ass from T2? (note the cig in her hand in this shot)
James Cameron has a habit for coming up with ideas that seem stupid at first and making them work, but he's got his work cut out for him if he thinks he can put a spin on Linda Hamilton's appearance in a way that will be a crowd pleaser.
I mean, I'm generally sympathetic to original actors coming back rather than rebooting, but in this case I think it's ill-advised.
Maybe she'll be playing the Grandma Sarah Connor sitting on the park bench from the deleted ending of T2.
She could, but that kind of thing would not put many butts in seats.
I liked that ending. I consider it the ultimate endgame to which all possible Terminator timelines will eventually lead.
Meaning: All this convoluted temporal horseshit will eventually result in a timeline where time travel does not exist - and therefore, neither will Skynet, whose entire history is dependent on time travel.
If T6 has a part to play in that, I'm all for it.
All we know is she's in the movie. It doesn't necessarily mean she's gonna be running around still in her T2 outfit and shotgunning robots for two hours. For all we know she might be in about two scenes.
I know it's "the internet" and this it what happens, but as I get older I get so bored of people running riot and formulating ideas with teeny tiny scraps of information, and then actually forming opinions on said imaginary notions.

They could put a spin on "You can't outrun your destiny" sort of thing.
It's been peaceful for Sarah Connor but a Terminator still shows up to face off against politician John Connor and grandma Sarah.
The other movies could just be alternate timelines.
They've already stated Hamilton's begun training for the part. That doesn't sound like the character gets a cameo or that she's 'Granny Sarah' sat on a porch.
So, if we get a ripped Sarah kicking ass at sixty, I'm sure she'll be rocking a few wrinkles and bloody good for her !

It's going to work. Linda's real life wrinkles add to Sarah's character who has had a very stressful life full of danger and traumatic experiencesI used to have a heavy crush on Linda Hamilton back in the day but she must have/had a serious chain-smoking habit because she looks incredibly bad for her age. Even worse, pound for pound, than Carrie Fisher. I can't think of anyone with more wrinkles than she has other than maybe Michael Keaton, whose reptilian skin was distracting in Spiderman. I know she was married to James Cameron briefly and I bet he'd like to give her a big paycheck, but it would just be very hard to bring her back, not unless they moved the storyline so far forward that she's playing someone even older than she is in real life to mask her wrinkles.
I mean, this is what she looks like these days and that's under the most flattering stage makeup.
I love the sentiment of it all, but I just don't know if it's going to work.
I don't see the problem, she aged, it happens to everyone.
I'm optimistic, I've more or less enjoyed all of the Terminator stuff I've seen, and Cameron coming back is good news.
I thought T3 was meh, loved Sarah Connor Chronicles, and really enjoyed Salvation. I haven't seen Genysis yet.

I hope they don't use make-up or CGI to de-age Linda Hamilton. She looks great as she does now, wrinkles and all.
Seriously? Too many wrinkles? What the fuck?

Just how many direct followups to T2 do we need? 
Genisys was supposed to be a direct followup, and look at what happened. I think the franchise is tired at this point. If they keep having to rehash a key point in the series, it has no future. Yes, that pun was intended 
I may sound crazy, but I actually enjoyed Salvation because it dared to be different. I liked the far future setting and the tone of desperation, and it attempted to explore a different side of the Terminator franchise without retreading. It actually went somewhere. All these other sequels seem too concerned about T2ing it.

Yup, that's why I like Salvation so much, too. That and Anton Yelchin was fantastic as Reese.
