With filming commencing on The Predator this week, Shane Black promised we’d be seeing more cast announcements and he certainly didn’t lie. The Hollywood Reporter has just announced that Alfie Allen will be joining Boyd Holbrook’s military team!
“Allen will play an ex-Marine who teams with several other outsiders, including one played by Holbrook, to stop the human-hunting creatures in a setting that hasn’t been seen in a Predator movie: suburbia.”
Game of Throne’s Alfie Allen joins The Predator cast!
Alfie Allen is best know for his role as Theon Greyjoy in Game of Thrones and also featured in John Wick (the sequel to which has just been released). He is also the brother of the British musician Lilly Allen.
Hollywood Reporter are once again reporting thatThe Predator will be set in suburbia, something that Shane Black spoke out against the first time The Hollywood Reporter mentioned this.

It's clearly not a good place for a Predator movie.
I hope someone gets it
He was the adopted brother of the main crew
Edit: At least I think he was. I might have to rewatch the series again, but I don't want to see my fellow Aussie Boromir die again for the bazillionth time in a show/movie
The suburbs setting still sucks though.
More believable as marines than Arnies squad
You never met a real life marine then.
With this cast it would be impossible for the audience to believe these guys are marines.Better put them near the home of Ray Peterson.
That's what the rumored opening to this film sounds like it'll be, though.
Nothing stays sleepy when the Predator is around. It's why the cast is playing military, government agent, and scientists and not soccer mom, friendly neighbor, and jogger.
Obviously a portion of the film will take place in a residential area but multiple locations will be in the film. If the rumored plot description is halfway correct, the film will open with a bang. I don't see how a writer like Shane would allow the climax to flounder in comparison to the opening, no matter where the climax takes place.
Yup, that´s probably gonna be the case, since the leaked plot mentions Holbrook´s caracther sending his son the predator tech from cuba.
I guess that's where the kid lives.
Looks like it´s gonna be set mainly in the burbs´after all.

Maybe its possible to make the suburbs seem weird and tribal too. Maybe it would look that way to the Predators.
Or maybe it'll be Monster Squad 2.
I've seen Shane Black confirm that this is not the case yet every report starts with 'New Predator reboot'
Making me cranky

Yeah, but it could also mean it's not set there a lot.
What about the suburbs really turns people off?
Yeah, it was a crap story that was nothing more than a cash grab. Even though I still find myself enjoying the movie, I know both Greg and Colin should've done a few more films before making it. Anyway, that's the past.
Shane probably could make a entertaining Predator film set in the suburbs. Anything can work if you have good talent behind it.
I feel like if Fox forced Shane to write a Predator story set 100% in the suburbs, he'd still knock it out of the park. He's clever, his dialogue is entertaining, and his ideas are subversive.
Many people are afraid of the suburbs because they think of AvP: R. That film suffered from a low budget and wasn't allowed to show how widespread the infestation was getting. Instead they had to resort to background noises like gunshots and screams.
The Predator I don't think will have this problem because it has a bigger budget, and more seasoned director.
Thanks, Nick. We saw those earlier today. I wouldn't say they confirm it'll be taking place in suburbia. I wouldn't be surprised to see some of it - especially with Munn playing a scientist. I wouldn't be surprised to see her in a university or research facility setting.
I think perhaps we maybe getting hung up on suburbia, thinking it's going to take place around houses and playgrounds. I think we'll be seeing a Predator 2-esque urban or city location and that doesn't bother me at all.
And deleted your "constructive" post, Bishop. Can you stop trying to antagonize your fellow fandom. I thought I'd made it perfectly clear I'm bored of your attitude in that regards.

He's a great actor. I saw him in John Wick too.
