Entertainment Weekly has shared nearly 30 exclusive stills from films that will be receiving some focus at the upcoming San Diego Comic Con. And that means we’ve got a brand new The Predator still!
It’s a part of the film we’ve seen before, especially prominent in the trailers and seen recently in some stills released by Empire Magazine last month. This new still gives us a much clearer look at the details of the Predator suit. Note the lack of “backpack” or housing from the shoulder cannon. This one seems to be mounted directly on the armour.
Fox will be taking to the stage in Hall H on July 19th 10.30am to talk about The Predator!
The hunt returns as director, Shane Black (Iron Man 3, The New Guys), along with cast members, Olivia Munn, Sterling K. Brown, Keegan-Michael Key, Trevante Rhodes, Jake Busey, Yvonne Strahovski, Thomas Jane and Augusto Aguiliera, bring their all-star firepower to an explosive panel on Fox’s upcoming bigger n’ badder take on the iconic franchise.

chatted with Black about why he dove back into the Predator universe, finding his own cast instead being a part of it, and if there's room for more films.

It's alien so the argument that they are reptiles is moot too. As far as we can visually see, from the films' standpoint, they have just as many similar characteristics to mammals/primates as they do to reptiles. I can respect people wanting to keep it more mysterious and unfamiliar because they're ALIEN, but saying that people are unimaginative because they speculate it could be similar is stupid. Though giving them gigantic breasts would be ridiculous- no doubt.
Yes - I don't see the whole "well they have clear masculine traits" as being a strong argument for them all being male. I agree that they probably were, but I'd think it's due to the fact that the creators never gave Predator sex/gender much thought. My only frame of reference is what has been shown in the printed media, which tends to show the males and females as identical. But since we're dealing with a different species on another planet, anyone's guess is viable imo. Sure, reptiles don't have mammalian organs on Earth. Who's to say it's the same thing on their planet? It could go either way honestly. We would just have to throw out our conception of what "males" and "females" actually mean or "reptiles" and "mammals", here in our neck of the woods.
But the whole male or female concept with strong male or female traits, is a very human concept to begin with... Who says it would apply to an alien ?
Spoiler
This is off the top of my head, so not verbatim, BTW:
Bracket looks at a vial of luminous liquid, and says something like "Wait... if that's blood.... then what the hell is that?"
EG - hinting at the fact that it's Pred jizz.
I think Keyes refers to CH as a "he" as well. Of course you can argue that he was using his human bias but maybe they caught CH taking a leak.
The creators probably referred to them as male because of their strong masculine traits. There is nothing so far in the film canon that differentiates a male from a female predator ( if sex/gender even applies ). I agree, very strong masculine traits in comparison to male humans, but they're aliens so it doesn't necessarily apply. I tend to agree that they're probably male ( call it human bias ), but I'm willing to allow the mystery of their sexual identity to continue in my own mind.
Because the creators have referred to them as male. Because they possess very strong masculine traits.
Does it take away of any of the cool factor they have? Or does it lower the quality of the design? (p1,p2, partially avp:r)
I don't get it.
Never thought about it, but these latest posts made me think.
How absurdly funny it would be if Dutch and his whole macho crew were massacred, by a girl...
Me too, and honestly I don't care a whole lot if it is or isn't. I imagine that eventually we'll get a female Predator, or it'll be disclosed that one of the ones we've already seen was a female. Not a big deal, other than to maybe satiate curiosity or get a larger picture of the Predator species.
It's very cold, in space.
Wouldn't bother me, I dunno what the big deal is. Maybe the original is a female?
#mindblown
I honestly don't get how people are seeing tits on this guy. Those are pectoral muscles under pectoral armor.
Is this like how everyone used to get weird about Ricardo Montalbon's chest in Wrath of Khan?

Doesn't seem so clear cut to me.
In regards to the actual movie, I think they've already established Captured is a male unless there's a twist coming our way. You gotta think they'll throw some sort of remark in there with the body scans in the lab.
...I am so sorry, not.
And just like that, A T-Shirt empire was born.
Nah, big breasts please. Huge, swingin', yautja milkers. Tits so big, they're used as weapons in the movie. And have Keegan always trying to touch them.
Hatred for space boobies, defies all logic.
If captured is a female then wouldnt that make it almost the same as a male? There are no breasts...
I mean captured isnt female but your rant generally makes no sense.
Eh, wait...
Agree!
I think it's the best and most thought out design since Predator 2.
Exactly, and I do think that the actual face of the predator(Jungle Hunter, City Hunter) doesnt fit inside the helmets/masks. But the faces of AVP 2004 predators do fit, the way they fold their mandibles is different, therefore they can fit the face under the mask. here is the differences.
one wrong photos.
When Jungle Hunter and City Hunter have their masks removed there's a cut between the mask being "on" and the 'removal" where the mask is basically just laying over the top of the full face. The magic of film making....
I think shapewise from the side is almoust the same as the Jungle Hunter, and I do believe that all others predator's masks aren't fitting perfectly for the predator face. I was sculpting predator mask on top of predator face, and it never fitted upper mandibles, I tried to find refrence photos, where it showed how upper mandibles fits under predator mask, but I didn't find nothing, and every time somebody puts a mask on Kevin Peter Hall, or on the toy, the do take away the mandible parts first, and after put a mask. Kavin Peter Hall didn't have mandibles, when he was wearing mask, and Hot toys and sideshow just have an option where you can just take of mandibles and put on mask.
That's Upgrade. Captured is a standard sized Predator.
While it's true Paul WS Anderson wanted a more "attractive" Predator and AvPR likely had a shit budget to go with its shit script and shit directors now was the time to go all out and rebuild their Predators from the ground up. In many ways I take my hats off to ADI for staying in the game in times like these but this is just sloppy work. Shane Black has his faith share of the blame too. A canny director would have caught this early on.
PS Kevin Peter Hall*
Also I really wasnt fan of bulky predators in AVP, so if he is more cut than buff I am totally fine with that, the city hunter and Jungle hunter werent very muscle developed guys compare to super heroes from AVP.
In the script it was 10 feet tall.
Yeah I've said the same thing. This is also an issue I had with the Super Predators. It just looks so flimsy.
