Though filming is currently underway for The Predator, Shane Black still has a few surprises left for us with the cast. According to The Hollywood Reporter, veteran science fiction actor Edward James Olmos has joined the cast of The Predator:
“Edward James Olmos is suiting up for The Predator, Shane Black’s reboot of 20th Century Fox’s sci-fi action franchise.
The movie is shooting in Vancouver with Boyd Holbrook leading a cast that also includes Room breakout Jacob Tremblay, Keegan-Michael Key, Trevante Rhodes, Thomas Jane, Alfie Allen, Yvonne Strahovski and Olivia Munn.”
Edward James Olmos joins The Predator cast! He is seen here as Robert Gonzales in Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD.
Details about Olmos’ character were sparse. All Hollywood Reporter had to say on the matter was that Olmos would be playing a military character.
Edward James Olmos has a very extensive background in acting and he is certainly no stranger to science fiction. He’s perhaps best known to sci-fi fans for portraying Admiral William Adama in the reboot of Battlestar Galactica. He should also be familiar to fans of Sir Ridley Scott for his role as Gaff in Blade Runner, a role he will be reprising in the upcoming sequel Blade Runner 2049. He also recently appeared as Robert Gonzales in Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD.

*stares Castillo-ly*
Me too!
Spoiler
That's been on my watchlist for years, still haven't got around to seeing it!
I'm with you on that.
Jake has been about for some time now and in a few big movies. Perhaps he could be considered a veteran
Very happy to see him joining the film!
I think we can all agree that Thomas Jane is a veteran actor/known commodity at this point as well.
Me neither. But judging by all the praise, I guess it's a good thing he's in it.
I looked up his filmography and it turns out I've watched some of the things he was in. I saw Blade Runner, The Road To El Dorado and the tv series Dexter. It's been years since I watched those so I don't remember him. I don't pay attention to the credits.
He'll be in new Blade Runner
Is this a joke?
To bad he didnt get the drug baron role eh?
the rest of the movie can suck, this is too great
LOVE the cast in this.
What a waste.
