The Terminator is back — and this time he's bringing a Canadian with him.

Vancouver-born actor Mackenzie Davis stars in Terminator: Dark Fate as an augmented human sent back in time from the future to protect a young Mexican woman named Dani from an evil Terminator called Rev-9. Davis' character, Grace, must protect Dani at all costs because she's a key member of earth's resistance to the machine overlords.

Davis joined q guest host Angeline Tetteh-Wayoe to tell us more about the film and what it was like to work alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton.

Terminator: Dark Fate is out everywhere today.
