I see a problem with action movies in the upcoming years for Arnold - Arnold is Arnold and a lot of the action films are going to be comic book films and really, I don't see anyone buying him as any comic book character (see: Mr. Freeze)
I bet a lot of voice work could be lined up.
I would love to see a prestige piece like
The Wrestler or something that maybe prooves Arnold actually has some acting chops. Maybe like
The Boy with Striped Pajamas.
That aside, out of projects completed IOTL I see him with some roles instead of Ford or Willis in
Firewall or
16 Blocks.
Snakes on a Plane with Arnold would be interesting.
He could work with Ridley Scott in some of his films instead of Denzel. he could be shoehorned into
Blood Diamond as Leo's father or something.
I see him taking the role slightly-older evil guy in films.
-
Smokin' Aces
- Could be tagged to the script that got turned into
Live Free or Die Hard
- God help us but he could get rolled up in
Transformers
- A
The Pacifier -esque film could be in the works
-
Drillbit Taylor may fit the bill
- A father or older soldier in
Defiance
- Could have Lou Ferrigno's role in
I Love You, Man (wouldn't be the first time they competed against each other

)
This is actually harder than I thought it would be.
Anywho, food for thought.
