Well she's playing a scientist, so not sure a Predator is going to be excited to take her skull as a trophy.
Go Dallas btw
Fully aware of that.
@Scorpio
Because it was coincidence and saying new Asian actress will add to this latin coincide (where one of former actress was actually playing Jew) smells fishy for me.
I didn't say they were playing latina characters. They just have that look like they are from Latin America. I'm not saying they all look like that. I've met people from South America and they have all colours/creeds. Now you could say 'stereotype', but they made the casting decision, it's not like it's random or anything.
Why is that?
She's half Asian, which kinda makes her look more Latina than a fully Asian girl.
And she was in Predators.
She just wasnt playing a "latina" in it.
Maybe her daughter. But she actually looks like she could be latina as well, which upholds the tradition of Predator always having latina female characters.
Spoiler
Denise Richards: Idiots can do anything we put our minds to. I played a nucular scientist in a James Bonk movie.
Because that went down so well
If you can cast Denise Richards as a nuclear physicist, you can cast anyone as anything.

In Hollywood, you do.
"Gee, dad! And you just took all this stuff off a dead alien?!"
"That's right, son."
"And you didn't have to hand any of it over?"
"No, son."
"They just let you... Wait... How'd you get it past airport security? And if it's alien, how come you didn't you sell it and get super-rich?"
"Well, son... Let me tell you a story."
Thanks.
It was a case of third hand information. He'd supposedly been told this by a friend.

What exactly qualifies an "old timer"?
I'm not especially fussed about seeing Arnie back.
Who was the guy who posted it? Someone with connections?
Thanks very much! It's intriguing if true.
Expect a little story like in Predator2 but nothing more.I wish I was wrong.All the old timers want to see Dutch again.
Unknown at this point, I'm afraid.

Best case scenario is she gets impaled and skinned within the first 30 seconds of doing lab work on the Predator.
Hoping they don't pull a soft reboot on us which Jurassic World, Star Wars The Force Awakens, Blair Witch 2016 have been nitpicked for.
Comic Convention Fan boy service.
Move along.
Fair point
But when the director himself has literally gone on record saying, "THIS FILM IS NOT A REBOOT," it seems pretty stupid to keep calling it one.
Personally I'm betting on Afghanistan and this movie being a prequel. Yea I know it isn't going to be that but hey, who knows what can happen during script editing. However Munn is kind of perfect for a Predator movie. Nothing wrong with adding her to the cast.
Also lol at the media still calling this film a reboot.
If he is going to be following the first 2 Pred films then we know that the Preds like hunting from high locations. Why would this hunter change that pattern and go to a place that does not offer that? Is this suburb filled with high trees? I guess it's possible since the pred was chilling on a tree in the cemetery in Pred 2.
