LOS ANGELES – There’s a new
Terminatorin town with the franchise’s
sixth film, “Dark Fate” (now in theaters).
Played by “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”
star Gabriel Luna, the new Terminator
model is bigger and stronger than Ar-
nold Schwarzenegger’s T-800 and can
split himself into two deadly killing ma-
chines.
His mission: Take out Dani Ramos
(Natalia Reyes) – even if Schwarzeneg-
ger’s Terminator, super-soldier Grace
(Mackenzie Davis) and Sarah Connor
(Linda Hamilton) stand in the way.
Luna, 36, might be the friendliest ac-
tor to come out of his hometownof Aus-
tin, Texas, but he assures us that this
killer lives within him.
He just had to pull him out. “You have
to truly feel the most righteous and most


wicked exist in all of us,” he says. “You
really can’t be afraid to let it come out.”
Hereare five things to know about his
Luna and his Rev-9.

This human-like
machine never blinks

That freaky cold look Luna gives as
his Rev-9 kills took work. The actor
spent countless hours of preparation
staring in the mirror “just trying to scare
the (expletive) out of myself.”

“I maintained as much stillness as I
could. Energize the body, keep it taut
like a bowstring and keep that frequen-
cy buzzing,” says Luna. “If it’s really
happening in your mind, heart and eyes,
it will happen for the audience.”
He didn’t blink in training, and Luna
doesn’t blink onscreen. “Never, that was
important to me,” says Luna. “The eyes
are everything. You don’t blink, you
don’t breathe. You give a slight oddity to
the character that you can’t place.”

The new killing machine
has lethal features

The Rev-9 is the latest advancement
in anti-personal Terminatortechnology,
with a liquid metal skin that can create
different bladed weapons – a significant
upgrade over the T-800’s skin. Both the
exoskeleton and endoskeleton are com-
posed of carbon-based alloy much light-
er and stronger than the previous Ter-
minators.
Big bonus: The machine can split in
two. “With the Rev-9, when they are to-
gether, they are much stronger. But for
strategic reasons, they can separate and
fight.”

This Terminator does
not crack jokes

Luna’s Rev-9 can simulate human
emotions far more effectively than past
Terminatorsbut has no time for funny

one-liners. “I wanted to play it straight,”
he says.
While he has basically a singular
one-liner in “Dark Fate,” Luna still
cracks up his actress wife Smarandaat
home accidentally stealing Schwarze-
negger’s famous line. “I’ll say, ‘I’m run-
ning to Trader Joe’s, I’ll be back,’ And
she’ll start giggling,” says Luna.

He’s so tough that he
take shots to the head

The film’s trailer shows Arnold’s
Terminator shooting the Rev-9 repeat-
edly at close range in the face. In reality,
it was Schwarzenegger pointing a prop
gun with a strobe light, and Luna “crazi-
ly” moving in a distorted fashion to
mimic the impact.
The scene shows the Rev-9 face re-
forming as fast as the bullets fly into it.
The Rev-9 is only temporarily halted.
“He’s always moving forward,” says Lu-
na.

He can do a killer
Arnold impersonation

The Rev-9 can mimic humans per-
fectly. And after months with Schwarze-
negger, Luna says he also perfected his
“Ahnold” accent.
“I’m not making fun, I’m honoring
him,” says Luna. “He says Sly (Stallone)
makes the most fun of him, so he’s the
biggest culprit. “
