As we prepare to witness one of Hollywood’s biggest ever stars make his small screen debut with Netflix series FUBAR, Arnold Schwarzenegger is already preparing a big-screen comeback with action-thriller Breakout.
Following a four-year hiatus after the latest failed attempt to reboot the Terminator franchise, Deadline report that the legendary actor will team up with his Expendables 4 director Scott Waugh for Breakout.
Described as an action-thriller, Arnie will play the lead role of Terry Reynolds. When his stepson is framed and sentenced to 25 years in a foreign country, Reynolds makes a daring jailbreak to save him and must overcome an overzealous prison warden in a race against time to avoid capture and flee the country.

Written by Richard D’Ovidio, who penned Halle Berry hit The Call, and based on a story he co-created with Nicole D’Ovidio, Breakout is hoping to go before the cameras in Eastern Europe later this year.
Breakout would be Schwarzenegger’s first leading role since 2017’s little-seen plane-crash drama Aftermath.
