Arnold Schwarzenegger to return as Terminator

Actor Arnold Schwarzenegger is set to star in "Terminator 5" and he is reportedly "very happy" about it as well as looking forward to the experience.

The 65-year-old will reprise his most iconic role as the killer cyborg for the first time since 2003 film "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines", reports contactmusic.com.

During an appearance at the 21st Century Financial Education Summit in Australia, Schwarzenegger is reported to have said: "I'm very happy that the studios want me to be in 'Terminator 5' and to star as the Terminator, which we start shooting in January. I feel very proud of that. I feel very happy and I'm looking forward to (it)."

The star did not make an appearance in the series' fourth installment, "Terminator Salvation", because he was working as the Governor of California at the time.
