Hollywood mogul James Cameron says older women are always portrayed as powerful figures in classic mythology, but current society fails to reflect that trend on the big screen.

In the recent times, heroes like Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel have entertained the world, and ushered in a wave of new female protagonists. But Cameron feels Sarah Connor, a character from the “Terminator” franchise, is in a league of her own.

James Cameron Has An Opinion On Older Women Getting Less Work & We Are All Ears For It!

“It’s a very short list. How many of them are over 60? Big fat zero. The guys are still packing guns into their 80s. But in our society we discount the older woman. In classic mythology, she is the keeper of wisdom, sometimes the sorceress or the seer, but always a powerful figure. We put that together with a kick-ass action hero and that’s something you haven’t seen before,” he added.

Cameron’s “Terminator: Dark Fate” brings back Arnold Schwarzenegger as The Terminator and Linda Hamilton, as an older Sarah Connor. Her son John will once again be played by Edward Furlong.
