Way back during the 90's and Terminator 2 era, I always wanted to see what the futuristic war between man and machine would be like.
Terminator 4 was a pretty bad movie though. None of the performances were any good, and the action was bleh. Mostly, we just didn't care about Terminator anymore. I mean at the time there was a TV series and then this new movie and we already had less-than-happy memories of T3...
But who here would be interested to see yet another movie, also set during the war-time era?

A Future War movie would essentially be a prequel to The Terminator. And...I'm sure that everyone here knows about the inhgerent flaws of prequels.
Bottom line is that the series has pretty much run its course. There's absolutely no need for any more movies, and it's arguable that there was no need for any more movies after the first or the second. The franchise at this point has simply become more important than any artistic merit. It's basically equivalent to like, the seventh installment of the Hellraiser series. At that point,m fans aren't watching because there's a srory to be told, they're watching so that they can see Pinhead.
Go back and watch the first Terminator. The ideas were bigger than the monster, instead the monster was just a device for communicating ideas. Fast forward to now, and anyone who wants another Terminator basically only wants it in order to see more of the monsters. It's exactly what happened to the Alien series.
So no...we don't need any more Terminator movies. If someone really wants to see a futuristic war movie with humans fighting machines, then that can easily be accomplished without bringing Terminator into the equation.
