In the film's originally scripted ending that was leaked, John Connor died from his injuries, and Marcus Wright agreed to have Connor's skin transplanted over his Terminator endoskeleton, because news of John's death would seriously hurt the morale of the Resistance. According to director McG and actor Christian Bale, the full ending was even bleaker than this: as soon as the procedure is complete, the John Connor robot is taken over by Skynet, and he wipes out Kyle, Kate and the rest of the Resistance. This ending was actually green-lit by the studio, but McG eventually decided that it was just too nihilistic and disappointing for the audience. The idea of John Connor becoming a Terminator was reused in Terminator Genisys (2015), where an embodiment of Skynet converts Connor into a T-3000.
