Ask anyone in Philadelphia: Kawhi Leonard is a ruthless killer. Ask anyone who saw the way Kawhi laughed at his introductory press conference in Toronto and they‘ll tell you he may be half robot. In other words, there’s a non-zero chance he’s a Terminator. 

Kawhi and Arnold Schwarzenegger star together in a new commercial for the upcoming Terminator: Dark Fate in which Leonard attempts to prove that he’s not a cyborg killing machine. 

The ad will air during ESPN’s NBA coverage. Both ESPN and Twentieth Century Fox, the film’s international distributor, are owned by Disney. (Paramount is handling U.S. distribution.)

In a major plot twist, Paul George’s line readings are so wooden that he seems even more like a robot than Leonard.
