Edward Furlong is disappointed his return as John Connor in Terminator: Dark Fate wasn’t more substantial.
The actor, 42, opened up about his appearance in the latest film in the franchise, telling YouTuber Alex Leyba, “They smoked my a—. That was the role.”
“I did it for a day — I shot for one day,” Furlong said. “And, yeah, we did some CGI. They paid me. So, I mean, you know. It kinda bums me out.”

Few would have predicted that Edward Furlong would return to the Terminator franchise after all these years, and fewer still would’ve guessed that Furlong’s John Connor would fall victim to a T-800 one year after the apocalypse he and his mother Sarah helped prevent.
Yet that’s exactly what Dark Fate – and specifically franchise architect James Cameron – had in store for Furlong’s fan favorite. And let’s just say it split audiences down the middle. While some rejoiced at Furlong’s return, others were left devastated when his character was unceremoniously bumped off by an all-too-familiar robotic enemy.
Turns out the actor himself felt pretty bummed out by the whole ordeal, too, after voicing his reaction while appearing on Alex Leyba’s YouTube channel earlier this week (h/t Bloody Disgusting):
They smoked my ass! That was the role. I did it for a day – I shot for one day.
