This is not a late April Fool's joke.

Arnold Schwarzenegger's early career as a body builder was a shaky enough entertainment role until he landed the role of a killer cyborg from the future.

Yet, his turn in the spotlight didn't end there, as "The Terminator" began his political career as California's governor in 2003, a career which just ended three months ago in January 2011. 

You would think Schwarzenegger, at the age of 63, would be looking at retirement in his "modest" Brentwood home, but you can always count on the man to give you a show. 

Schwarzenegger told reporters at the global TV market in Cannes, "First will come (The Governator) comic books, then a (cartoon) TV series and after that we will develop the games and then a movie… maybe then we'll be back in Cannes for that." Sure, if the movie can even make it to the Cannes Film Festival. 

Working closely with the comic book legend Stan Lee, our ex-governor/ex-terminator is excited for his new role as "The Governator."

Set as a semi-fictional narrative, the trifecta will be drawn from personal elements of Schwarzenegger's life by including his wife Maria Shriver and even his children. 

With a fleet of super vehicles and wardrobe of "Super Suits" within his Arnold Cave, the TV series, comic, and the movie are sure to be, if anything, entertaining, especially since his enemies are called the G.I.R.L.I.E. Men. 

Arnold told Entertainment Weekly, "I love the idea of a control center… tat boats and submarines can go right into the ocean."

I think anyone would love that control too Arnold, and also the ability to mass produce myself as 40 years younger and 10 times sexier as well. 

Let's get real Schwarzy… it's termination time.
