Cameron considers the film a direct sequel to his films The Terminator (1984) and Terminator 2: Judgment Day, while Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003), Terminator Salvation (2009), Terminator Genisys (2015) and the television series The Sarah Connor Chronicles are described as occurring in alternate timelines. The film stars Linda Hamilton, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and
Edward Furlong
returning in their roles of Sarah Connor, the T-800 "Terminator", and John Connor, respectively, reuniting after 28 years. The film also stars Mackenzie Davis, Natalia Reyes, Gabriel Luna and Diego Boneta.

So we have both John and Sarah Connor back and played by the original actors. I think this movie may be legit!

It's not what you think.
Edward Furlong's face will CGI'd on the new actor playing young John Conner, at the beginning of the film. The film starts off where T2 left off, as Sarah and John leave the Steel Mill.

Do you want my honest opinion? I think Edward Furlong returning as John Conner is supposed to be a surprise twist reveal at the end, that none of the trailers give away.

Thanks.
What a shame.
I had a little bit of hope too reading this thread. I thought maybe I could see this as I was expecting the Ghostbuster route of all female cast. Same as Halloween 2018 with Laurie, daughter and granddaughter.

Ghostbusters was different. That was forced. They changed all 4 Ghostbuststers originally played by 4 males to 4 females. It wasn't subtle, to say the least.
There was never a time when I saw the marketing stills and trailers for this movie that I thought, "oh they're pushing female characters on us." It never crossed my mind.
There's Sarah Conner, who was in the first 2 movies. You can't count her toward the female quota, because she was there was from the beginning.
Then there's the female protector terminator. This is the only gender option in all terminator movies that did not happen. There's been a female villain, but not a female protector. So likewise it was due next on the rotation.
Then there's the woman the terminator is sent to kill. The original mission was to kill Sarah Conner, who was a woman. In T2 is was John Conner. Now we have another woman again. Not much of a leap there.
The fact that there's 3 women stars is by coincidence and chance.

Interesting. I did not know there's a female protector for this one. Just how much of any role with Furlong and Swarzenegger have? See I had no intention of seeing this and am just learning what's in store.

The story goes that John, saddened by the death of Max all those years ago, now rears alsatians and names each of them Wolfie.
This is to throw off any future terminators from killing him because only his pal, the one that got melted in the forge, really knew the name of his dog.
Suddenly the T-1000 starts to spill out of the ground…

Yeah I had an unique opportunity to watch a YT synopsis with major spoilers about the film on imdb v2. I will not give away anymore details about John Connor's role in Dark Fate or the subplot between John, Sarah and Arnold's Terminator.
