becomes part of John's inner circle consisting primarily of Kate Brewster, Blair Williams and Barnes. Terminator Genisys (2015) Reese is portrayed by Jai Courtney in Terminator Genisys, and by Bryant Prince as Reese's 12-year-old self. His history is similar to James Cameron's established canon and is John Connor's (Jason Clarke) lieutenant. In the film, it is revealed that Reese is of Irish descent on his mother's side, and as the film serves as a reboot of the series instead of a sequel to Salvation, Reese is depicted as having been found as a child by Connor himself, and his interactions with Star and Marcus Wright are absent. In 2029, Connor sends Reese back through time to protect Sarah Connor (Emilia Clarke), then the latter witnesses Connor being attacked by Skynet (in its physical form) and a temporal paradox occurs afterwards before Kyle reaching his destination. He discovers that Sarah has been raised and trained by a reprogrammed T-800 (Schwarzenegger), creating an alternate timeline and thus making Kyle a remnant of the previous. In the changed timeline Skynet has turned Connor into a T-3000 tasked with ensuring Genisys - this timeline's precursor to Skynet - becomes active. At the same time, Reese continues to exist, as his parents still met, though under different circumstances, and it is his knowledge of Genisys through his new memories before the timeline's change that enables them to travel forward to 2017 instead of 1997. The reprogrammed T-800, Sarah and Reese defeat Genisys and Connor/T-3000, and Reese meets his 12 year old equivalent in the active timeline, instructing him to repeat a warning mantra each morning, deliberately creates a temporal causal loop to ensure he already knows his task in the future. Terminator: Dark Fate (2019) Director Tim Miller stated that Kyle Reese does not exist in the new modern-day alternate timeline that is depicted in the 2019 film Terminator: Dark Fate, because unlike the Genisys timeline, where Reese's parents still met and conceived him despite Judgment Day not yet occurring, in the Dark Fate timeline, his parents did not cross paths. Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (2008–2009) In the parallel universe television show, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, it is revealed that Reese has an older brother named Derek, who becomes one of the show's main characters. He is also a Resistance soldier from the future. Characterization In this series, Kyle Reese is played by
