He has already stated that he has a segment of the proposed six installment already planned out.<\/p>\n<p>Although the details of what the second film of the deal will be are still a mystery, there are a couple of prime candidates. The first possibility is <strong>The Leading Man<\/strong>, an adaption of the 2006 graphic novel which featured a handsome Hollywood hunk who also was the world\u2019s greatest secret agent. The second is a film about the 442 Regiment, the all Japanese-American army unit that would become the most decorated combat unit of World War II.<\/p>\n<p>Lin also has plans for a fifth <strong>Terminator<\/strong> film although no one is certain as to whether that will go ahead.
