“The Predator” may have already found its prey… He’s now joining another scifi universe, Predator. And there’s little that needs to be added to the idea of a Shane Black The Predator movie to make things exciting.

It seems like Predator will find its new prey in the form of Benicio Del Toro. However according to The HollyWood Reporter, Benicio Del Toro is in talks to join the movie in an unspecified role.
If he ends up landing the role, that’s rather uncertain.
What role Del Toro will play in the film is being kept under wraps, along with the specific plot.
“The hero of the new one, the name I’ve given the guy in Predator right now is Quinn MacKenna”, said Shane Black. “And that may change”.
Del Toro is repped by CAA, LBI Entertainment and Hansen, Jacobson. The film will not be revisiting its glory years in the 1980s and instead take place in present day.
So what’s “The Predator” all about? He was the first to be killed by the Predator in that movie. But with the studio throwing plenty of money at the reboot, can we guarantee an excellent movie?
“I think the first [Predator] was great, and it was contained, and it was a flawless little gem for what it was”, said Black.
What do you think about del Toro possibly appearing in The Predator?
Created in 1987, the original Predator franchise has become a staple title for the alien thriller genre.
