Sterling K Brown in negotiations to star in The Predator. Casting news continues as The Hollywood Reporter releases another exclusive article. Recently they revealed that Trevante Rhodes had joined The Predator’s ensemble cast and that Keegan-Michael Key was in talks to join as well.
The Hollywood Reporter are now reporting that Sterling K. Brown is also in discussions about coming aboard The Predator:
“Sterling K. Brown — one of the stars of NBC’s buzzy ensemble drama This Is Us, who also won an Emmy for his work on FX’s The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story — is in negotiations to join the cast of The Predator, Twentieth Century Fox’s reboot of the sci-fi action franchise that will be directed by Shane Black.”
Sterling K. Brown is best known for his work on The People vs. O.J Simpson: American Crime Story and This Is Us but he will also be appearing alongside the likes of Chadwick Boseman, Michael B. Jordan and Martin Freeman in Marvel’s Black Panter.

Once again THR refer to The Predator as being set in the suburbs, something that Shane Black refuted in November of last year. The Hollywood Reporter does provide a small tidbit of information about Brown’s character, explaining that he would work for a government agency that jails Boyd Holbrook’s character:
“If a deal is sealed, Brown will play a government agent who jails Holbrook’s ex-Marine character, but later needs his help with the Predators.”
This new report also mentions that Keegan-Michael Key has joined the ensemble. If the negotiations work out with Sterling K Brown, he would add his talent to The Predator’s building award-winning ensemble cast.

Directed and co-written by Shane Black (Lethal Weapon), this reboot of the thermal-tracking, human-hunting alien franchise is the fourth installment in the Predator series and set in present day. Though technically a sequel, it does not continue story lines from 1987's Predator, 1990's Predator, or 2010's Predators. "Shane has his whole take on it and it's very different than the original Predator," Brown tells EW. "It's got a really wicked sense of humor to it, which I love about it. And it's got a real camaraderie amongst the main characters that I think folks will be attracted to. That's pretty much all I can say."

Imo these movies have their flaws, and its a good thing to speak about that.
Predator 2 is good, its got awesome characters, cool quotes and everybody loves king Willy.
Where are you seeing this? I looked him up on Google and it didn't say anything like that?
I can understand some of the complaints when it comes to P2 story. It's all action with very little moments where you really get to know the characters. I wish Hopkins would've kept in the scenes at Danny's funeral. Also, Leona's birthday party showing her husband. There were scenes with Captain Pilgrim talking about how Mike should watch his ass with the Feds in said scene. But even then I'm not sure that would be enough.
But I love P2 it's a worthy sequel to the original.
Same, i dont understand the hate on Predator 2 in anyway cast and storywise.
As for the new guy? I have no clue who is. It's a strange cast to be sure, but I'll go with it for now. Also, I didn't care for Brody in Predators . I just couldn't buy him in that role. But then again a lot of people hated Glover in Predator 2, but I loved him.
He isnt much more then the older brother from AVP Requiem.
Ill be honest Holbrook looks like a schmuck, looks good on the walkway or in pictures but a leading role in The Predator?
Im not hating but im being realistic, Brody pulled it off in Predators but Holbrook aint no Brody or Schwarzenegger/Glover.
That's true and I can understand that.
When we went for a movie to the cinema because it was recommended or just a wild guess when we stood in front of the cinema display,
looking for upcoming movies or just looked at screenshots that hang in the display of the cinema outside.
But i agree, i think they should have casted the Rock for at least one role in this.
Could you imagine who would've been Quinn's best friend had Affleck accepted...
Yeah, I'm pretty sure those guys were house hold names before Predator came along.
The cast of Predator 1987 was star-studded compared to this cast.
I gotta go with Bishop here. A lot of people know who those people are. They may not be house hold names, but in general they're very well known.
And it's less about who they have and more who Shane Black has worked with in the past and who he wanted for this project.
I thought it was announced in 2014 and delayed (after the script was ready) only a couple of months from shooting in October 2016 to February 2017. I might be wrong but I don't remember reading any articles about The Predator being put on a serious hold or hiatus.
I wouldn't worry, man, think about it - when was Dwayne Johnson announced as Black Adam and Doc Savage? It'll take a couple of years for those projects to get to shooting and released but they aren't in trouble.
I optimistically hope Schwarzenegger is in the movie and if he is, chances are he won't need more than a few weeks of shooting since he's not the main character. It can fit in his schedule
I agree, but I think there's a difference here. The Fast franchise has had strong enough momentum with their movies coming out soon after each other; the Predator on the other hand? It has required time to marinate after the spinoffs that general audiences didn't really gravitate towards. And it has been a long time since 1987. That means Shane Black's film has to reinvigorate life into the franchise rather than grow organically like a franchise that's been going strong for 15 years or so.
On the plus side, the film is finding new demographics in other ways. It's casting up-in-comers and people who have buzz around them (by 2018, Holbrook and Brown will probably have audiences wanting more - fingers crossed!).
On a totally other note, I'm watching The People v OJ right now (which is fantastic BTW in case you haven't watched it), and it's kind of funny that Sterling K Brown is sharing multiple scenes with the guy who played Dallas in AVPR. Then it reminded me of Trevante Rhodes being in Moonlight with Mahershala Ali, who was in Predators. It's like Predator is the new "6 degrees from Kevin Bacan" or something lol
I merely brought up the fact the Predator had been delayed for a ridiculous long time were lucky they're set on making it. If Arnold has involvement he might be contracted to promote the movie on tour internationally, but may very well have time to carry out involvement with Termiantor, which is unlikely to happen til 2019 before a release of 2020, 2019 about ten years til the setting of future war in Terminator, 2029.
*fixed quotes. Hicks
K. 2017 and 2019 are not synonymous. They are different years and have several hundred days in between them.
Predator wasn't a franchise when Predator came out. You gotta grow and capture new demographics. Helen Mirren and Charlize Theron are in the new Fast and Furious film. No one big was in the original. You can't be modest anymore. At least they got it right with Shane and Larry the DP.
Ontopic, i think the ex marine guy draws the attention of the predator and gets captured by the cops,
as from then on he want him as his opponent but the guy or refuses or the predator is luring him
out by killing the fbi cops and people around him, as he has to team up with the cops to fight the predator.
Maybe something like that?
Im again more curious to the mystery behind it all instead of the action scenes, will they show more of the predator world or group he hunts with? The gun blazing isnt my thing anymore.
Well seeing how long the delays have been, Predator 4's announcement in 2014, completing the script in late 2015, carrying out pre-production in 2016, finally setting up the filming this year 2017, a lengthy production ahead, set for a 2018 release we're lucky the movie didn't sizzle away in development hell.
Arnold maybe preoccupied with other commitments, e.i. The Apprentice, Legend of Conan, The Twins sequel Triplets, if they ever actually make it. honestly it looks like Arnold is unlikely to be involved in either movie, one The Predator despite being said to harken back to nostalgia while being an inventive sequel isn't likely to include a supporting role or a cameo for Arnold, even though a percent of the fan base would love to see that. As for Terminator is likely that project will be a reinvention rather than a continuation to the established series. They probably won't event get into production because Cameron won't gain the rights until 2019.
Terminator 6 hasnt even hired a screenwriter, yet.
That's an old article that's been debunked. No Suburbia.
Wait... Suburbia? Oh, no... Nononono...
