Benicio Del Toro in talks to star in The Predator! According to Deadline and The Hollywood Reporter, Benicio Del Toro is currently in negotiations with 20th Century Fox to appear as a pivotal character in Shane Black’s The Predator. The Hollywood Reporter further elaborated on that:
“Plot details are being kept hidden in mud but the new movie is said to be an ensemble piece anchored by the character to be played by Del Toro.
The actor and the studio have been dancing for months around this project but one challenge has been De Toro’s schedule. But that stumbling block looks to have been cleared and a February 2017 start date is being planned.”
Benicio Del Toro in talks to star in The Predator!
Neither article specifies which character Del Toro is playing so we don’t know if he will be playing the previously named main character Quinn McKenna. Fred Dekker has previously insinuated that the Predator would be a larger picture with many different characters from all over the world.
Is it possible that Del Toro could be playing a central character that is involved in all these different locales, playing a character similar to Peter Keyes in Predator 2 but on a larger scale?
The Hollywood Reporter also mentions that a February 2017 start date has been settled on. However, it’s not clear if that means the entire production (which has already been pushed back one month and is due to start in October in Vancouver) or if that is just Del Toro’s filming.
Thanks to Gazz and Crux Mottol for the news.
I'd completely forgotten about that movie. It's a really good one.
Same here.

There's gotta be a source someone can reach out to get us some news to enjoy
When they confirmed that this wimp was out, I could breathe again.
I'm glad, to be honest.
Please keep him out of this
That'd be an interesting role to have as a pivotal one rather than just one scene.
Thats what i was meaning. He's Played Military, Criminal Scum, alsorts really. So there is no guarantee what role he'll be playing
"Gimme da keys you c*cksucka muthaf*cka!"
Del Toro is hardly someone who's been typecast as only one thing. He's pretty versatile.
Case in point, my favourite Del Toro scene:
Del Toro has a huge screen presence, and that's perfect for a Predator movie.Arnold and Danny got that too.
But he's also played Military characters as well. So its all up in the air.
"Plot details are being kept hidden in mud but the new movie is said to be an ensemble piece anchored by the character to be played by Del Toro."
Sounds like a pretty important character to me. However, I'd rather they surprise me though so I don't want to think he'll be vital and that he'll make it through to the end because of that.
Um, no.
"Fred Dekker has previously insinuated that the Predator would be a larger picture with many different characters from all over the world."
Soooo....Predators 2 then?
That face. XD

I feel the need to re-watch that one again now,
Was Tom Hardy even in serious consideration?
Hardy is looking for genre roles, but rumor is he passed on Predator too, but really, you can't believe anything at the moment, we heard names like Hardy, Bale, Affleck, Franco, Cavill... and boom comes Del Toro, so really, they could end up with anyone at the moment.
Hardy might be shooting Mad Max if the rumours are true.
If his counterpart is Tom Hardy that would be heavenly.
My money's on Quinn!

I hope so.
I'm guessing he's playing Quinn, Kaltes.
You don't understand.

One is directed by Stanley Kubrick.
The other is directed by Paul W.S. Anderson.
I think the answer is obvious. XD
