Arnold Schwarzenegger Gives One Condition for Working With Chris Pratt
Originally appeared on E! Online
Arnold Schwarzenegger isn't terminating the idea of working with his family.
The Terminator actor shared that he would be willing to star in a movie alongside his and ex Maria Shriver's son Patrick Schwarzenegger and their son-in-law Chris Pratt—who married their daughter , 35, in 2019—under one important condition.
"It's one of those things that if there's a great script, then of course, we would do it," Arnold exclusively told E! News correspondent Will Marfuggi at the Fubar season two premiere with Netflix Tudum June 12. "But you can't just make up this stuff. You can't just say, 'OK, let's just put the three together in a movie and not have a great script.'"
Noting that those parameters should be a "given," the 77-year-old—who also shares daughter Christina Schwarzenegger, 33, and son Christopher Schwarzenegger, 27, with Maria, as well as son Joseph Baena, 27, with Mildred Baena—called on filmmakers to make it happen.
As he put it, "You don't have to talk about it, just do it." (For more from Arnold, tune into E! News tonight, June 12, at 11 p.m.)

And Arnold isn't only leaving the door open to work with Patrick, 31, on a new project: He also hasn't shut down the idea of following in his son's footsteps by appearing on The White Lotus, which Patrick starred on as Saxon Ratcliff in its third season.
"Whenever I see something good, I am interested in it," Arnold shared, "so we will see."
But whether he's sharing the screen with Patrick or watching him from afar, the former bodybuilder is just happy to see the 31-year-old fulfill his longtime dream.
"Patrick always had a love for show business," Arnold said. "He has spent a lot of time on the set with me when he was a kid. He was doing his homework in my movie trailer, he was watching me shooting on stage. I think he got the desire right then and there."
And in the meantime, he's proud of the hard work he's put into the forthcoming season of Fubar, an action comedy series that follows a CIA operative as he's thrust out of retirement and back onto the field for one last job.
"The second season is a lot, a lot of great, great action," Arnold said of the new installment, which premieres on Netflix June 12, "and also really funny moments."
He added, "The actual sequences are very, very tough to do, especially when you do night shoots and all that. But it's a lot of fun."
While you wait to watch Fubar season two, read on for more shows hitting the screen this year.

Scott Galloway bluntly predicts major change for Netflix
Scott Galloway, the podcaster and New York University professor, explained his view on June 13 that the last significant battle in the streaming industry was a showdown between Netflix and Hollywood - and Netflix emerged victorious. By expanding production globally, taking advantage of broadband technology, and capitalizing on inexpensive funding, Netflix (NFLX) was able to make large-scale investments similar to Amazon's strategy, Galloway explained, leaving competitors unable to keep pace. The outcome? A major shift in value from traditional studios and entertainment talent to Netflix's investors and subscribers. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Netflix's newest version operates as more than just a subscription-based platform - it now combines both subscriptions and advertising in its business model. And nearly 94 million people have chosen Netflix's ad-supported plan since it was introduced fewer than three years ago, according to Galloway. Netflix has proven itself to be a master of adaptation in the media landscape. It started as a mail-order DVD business, toppling the giant Blockbuster. Then it evolved into a streaming powerhouse, upending Hollywood's dominance. Related: Jean Chatzky sends strong message to Americans on Social Security Now, after a decade without major changes, Netflix is transforming once more, Galloway wrote. The company is introducing AI-driven content recommendations, mobile-friendly vertical videos, and a refreshed visual design to take on platforms such as YouTube and TikTok. And once again, the streaming service faces a new challenge. Shutterstock Having won the last streaming war, Netflix now confronts a new threat, Galloway explained in his "No Mercy / No Malice" newsletter. In fact, this prominent challenger is in the ring with all streaming services. "The next streaming war?" Galloway wrote. "YouTube takes on the world." "This year, more people in the U.S. watched YouTube on TVs than on mobile devices - a first," he continued. "YouTube is now the No. 1 distributor of TV content, according to Nielsen. And for the past three months, YouTube registered the largest share of TV viewing (12%) among media companies; Netflix accounted for 7.5%." More on the U.S. economy: Jean Chatzky shares major statement about Social SecurityShark Tank's Kevin O'Leary has blunt words on 401(k) plansDave Ramsey strongly cautions U.S. workers on Social Security YouTube is essentially public access television scaled to the internet, but with vastly superior production quality, observed Galloway. His Markets podcast co-host Ed Elson notes that Gen Z sees YouTube - owned by Alphabet (GOOGL) - as an algorithm-driven force shifting influence away from established brands and toward individual creators. The biggest disruptor to Hollywood, Galloway argues, isn't Netflix chairman's Reed Hastings - it's MrBeast, the YouTube star who has perfected parasocial relationships. In 2023 alone, MrBeast amassed over a billion hours of watch time, surpassing the top Netflix shows. "But just as individual content creators disrupted Hollywood, AI may disrupt content creators," Galloway wrote. While Netflix is expected to invest around $18 billion in content this year, YouTube effectively operates with a content budget of zero, instead sharing ad revenue with its creators. MrBeast has revealed that producing a single video typically costs him $2.5 million. Yet in a striking shift, an AI-generated muzak channel recently surpassed him, becoming the fastest-growing channel on YouTube this month. Related: Shark Tank's Kevin O'Leary makes bold prediction on U.S. economy Galloway argues that the rise of Netflix, YouTube and the competition for streaming audiences has cost us something vital: a shared cultural experience. In 1983, the final episode of M.A.S.H. was a national event, drawing 106 million viewers - nearly half of America, he recalls. By contrast, last year's most-watched scripted TV finale, "Yellowstone," reached just 13 million people, a mere 4% of the country. The shift from scheduled programming to unlimited, on-demand content has fragmented American culture, Galloway suggests - and this fact reflects the loss of two key societal pillars: collective experiences and a shared identity. "Without shared stories, we don't laugh together, love/hate the same heroes/villains, or believe in the same facts when we argue," Galloway wrote. "We lose our empathy, our ability to see each other as human." "It's hard to demonize someone you watched 'Cheers' with every Thursday night; it's easy to hate someone whose cultural references are completely foreign to your feed."
