From the Wikipedia entry about Terminator Salvation
In the early script drafts, John was a secondary character. Producer James Middleton explained "Ben-Hur was influenced by Jesus Christ, but it was his story. Much in that way, this [new main] character will be influenced by John Connor."[51] The original ending was to have John killed, and his image kept alive by the resistance by grafting his skin onto Marcus' cybernetic body.[52][53] However, after the Internet leak, Warner Bros. decided to completely change the entire third act of the film.
I actually thought that that's how it was going to end. In T3 canon John does not survive the war and is killed by a T-800. When Arnie showed up I thought they were going to go down that route and have Marcus take over as leader of the resistance
In my opinion it would have been a much better ending to the film. Damn those internet leaks.
