So we now know about Kyle Strauts playing at least one Predator, but what about the other guys?
I came across this pic on instagram
https://www.instagram.com/p/BIWVROVg-A4/?taken-by=tootall604
Those are all the guys invited by FOX in L.A to audition for the role, there is also the guy Mike Konanec who i reported auditioned for the role back in July, but didn't end up getting it.
So, there you go, some of those guys are our Predators.
Edit:
Judging by this pic: https://www.instagram.com/p/BMUZpqPgMUi/?taken-by=tootall604
This guy is also playing a Predator, Brian A. Prince:

The second guy you shared is 6'10", at least he's taller, I wonder if their casting more agile Predators this time for better action scenes
Maybe not the tallest dudes in the world, but man, look at this guy:

They are going for tall dancers/parkour jumpers this time for maximum movement.
Looking good!
Damn, pretty athletic!

They must of done good in the audition if Black is overlooking Ian Whyte... Unless he just hasn't been confirmed yet, as he wouldn't really need to audition 🤔
Is there any confirmation on this guy thebaprince?

Pretty much, he posted on facebook that he's going to be in Vancouver for most of 2017, training with the guy that is listed as a Predator on IMDB... that's a bit too much coincidence for me.

Aslong as Whyte is playing the main Pred it's OK. Would be a shame for Black's to make a good movie but have a short looking Preds.

They aren't really short, with 6'10" you're still a towering person. With the suits on, they are all above 7 feet.

I know the Wikipedia info on the Predators height is around 7'8", Kevin Peter Hall was 7'2", so with that said maybe the suit adds another 6", but they also can make the Predator look much taller with the way they film
So how many preds altogether are there??
We don't know at this point. And we don't know for certain if these guys are. But assuming Strauts and Prince are, that's 2.
They could also have their own special moves and to lighten the workload 2 guys can play one predator

Wonder if it will be a group or just one, and with a pred ship like at the end of Predator 2??
Remember the original Alien was played by two different actors.
People make such a big deal about the height. When you're talking about a variation of a couple inches, four or five at the most, you aren't going to notice when they film the actors and predators from the right angles. We're going to get big Predators.
That one guy moves great! :) Shades of Kevin Peter Hall indeed.
I'm just happy these guys are bigger than the stuntmen in Predators. Even though the story did acknowledge that some of the species are smaller.

I really love the look of that picture! Like a Predator examining some clues, searching for his prey.
Just another thought in regards to the group photo Mike Konanec shared. When he confirmed he didn't get the part on his Facebook, he also specifically said he knew the 2 guys they'd selected. So Prince and Strauts?

Seems like it.
Maybe they have Ian Whyte playing the main Predators and those two guys are just for stunts? Ian is not getting any younger after all.
Many possibilities at this point.
My guess is we're going to have exactly two predators. One near the beginning of the film that sets things in motion, and then the "main" one.
I really liked Ian Whyte, he gave his Predators great personanilty traits. He would have the right experience now to return, shame he wont.
There might have been scheduling issues anyway, but I wonder if they looked at Joonas Suotamo - new Chewbacca actor - to play one of the Predators.

If I'm not mistaken, Shane also said they would bring a sense of mystery back to the Predator. Chances are we won't see him (them?) front and center through most of the film anyway.

He`s using stilts, making him roughly 9 feet tall:
https://www.instagram.com/p/BgnazP8hHb5/?taken-by=danielcudmore
Now, there are two options, they have a practical suit, that will be filmed from the waist up, or, he's performing in a motion capture suit for the upgrade to be CGI.
https://www.instagram.com/p/Bg-C01SlHg8/?taken-by=1stuntman2mastiffs
Finally ! And i think it could be both suit and CGI.
My life - he looks massive with those stilts! Really looking forward to actually seeing some proper bts stills of the creatures!
Still no sign of an actor playing the captured pred. Do you think one of the actors already casted (Strauts, Prince...) could play more than one pred ? I mean, that already happened in the past so...
As long as they are good with movement, I am totally fine with whoever plays the predators.
Any tall guy can just put on that Predator suit and mask, but the question is, Can they move and mimic Kevin Peter Hall? first AVP predators sure as hell didnt, I hated that movie because of that. Felt like I was watching Robocop in a Predator suit. Stiffnes to the max
Largely due to the bulk, one of the few things AvP-R actually improved using the very same actor.
Rewatching P2, it became really clear it's the one armed stuntman running from Glover in the appartment.
CGI Predator then?...

Spot on.
Would love to rank other Pred Actors after KPH. I honestly couldn't tell the difference between them. I truly believe that once Hall died, the Pred died with him.
I think that is part of the problem with these Pred movies, these actors don't seem to care much about moving like a alien-creature, reacting like an alien-creature, in a different atmosphere, planet etc.
It literally looks like dude's in costumes, not very convincing. It's part of the whole "humanize" the Pred bit that Fox has gone thru.
"Well since we can't find a tall guy to give a crap about making this thing move/act like a creature from another planet then we'll just make them friends with the human characters and they can work together...."
Watch KPH Act the Waterfall scene in Pred and the Slaughterhouse scene in Pred 2 (peak moments of an already peak performance).
There has been nothing acted since even close.
Have any of these tall-buff actors after KPH spoken with any reverence or study of KPH? Or do they just act like typical gym dudes and get paid? cuz....seems like it.
I see stiffness when I look at that Avp division

I'd disagree with that. There's no denying KPH is the original but Ian Whyte did a great job in AvPR.
It's strang they didn't approach him for pradators or this one. He was one of the highlights of AvP movies after all.
If the Upgrade is what it was in the scrpit I think he'll be heavily cgi enhanced.
Re: Ian Whyte in Predators -
QuoteAvPGalaxy – In 2010 the third Predator film Predators was released but you didn't appear as a Predator in it. I was curious as to if you were ever approached for the film?
Ian Whyte – Yes, I was approached. I was just finishing up Clash of the Titans as I recall and I remember speaking to the stunt coordinator about it briefly. But KNB were creating the costume effects and they obviously had their own casting brief and their own logistical priorities, seeing as the film was to be shot in Texas and Hawaii.

Was still hoping the main Pred was a practical suit but given he's like 10 foot tall in the script I guess he will be full CGI.
The joy of KPH playing the Predator is that even now after 31 years you can still look back at production photos and (me personally) still see a practical suit that looks as real as anything.
You just saw pictures of a guy with huge stilts, that's a hint it probably won't be full CGI.
And I agree on Ian Whyte, he doesn't get enough credit for his performance in AVPR.

Whyte's performance in AVPR was up there for me in terms of keeping the "alien" aspect of the Pred alive. But other than the first two movies and AVPR, yeah I agree the others have kind of failed to capture how
alien the Preds are supposed to be. I definitely feel the "humans in suits" vibe. I think making them taller and bigger each movie could also make it more difficult for the actors to "act" in the suits when they're probably focusing on keeping themselves upright. I can't imagine walking on those stilts :o
Like the idea of at least incorporating the "tall" into "Super". It will actually feel and look different vs. the "super" preds that literally only had a different face, otherwise nothing felt or looked superior.

I agree with you about Whyte's performance in AVPR. I dont know but I felt some good ol vibes from that crucified Predator in (Predators) Shame we didnt get to see him in more action.
Performance is key. And to be fair, if they chose to do it performance capture, I'd be fine with it too, as long as it sold the character.
I fear more generic predators, as they already where in Predators.
The Crucified predator was OK at best, Derek Mears performs powerful but really not subtle enough to lift it to higher planes.

I'd hope that's not the case.

I'd absolutely agree with this. Wolf had a very lean physique which, unlike the bulkier AvP suits, I thought lended very well to those stealthy, otherworldly, predatory movements.
I don't think we're gonna get "generic Predators" at all in this. Black had the whole crew looking back at the original film first and foremost for reference, and obviously that includes the original Predator, and there's this bit of the JoBlo/Collider interviews were he says something that really peaked my interest; he says that he chose to go with misfits for his characters and tried to find thematic elements that worked with that for the movie, and that maybe there's a sense that the Predator himself is an "outcast". I think Black is approaching the Predator in this film as a character, with an arc, rather than just a monster. I doubt anyone's ever topping Kevin Peter Hall, after all he CREATED the Predator body language, but I don't see this movie going with generic Predator performances.

To be fair to those actors, the AVP suits were a bulky pain in the ass. You can just tell they're having problems.
Paul Anderson basically had to lean on editing to make those scenes work at all. Which yeah to an extent that's par for the course with the entirety of the series, but it was to an extreme. In the first Predator you could hold on Jungle Hunter for a long time relatively speaking and it wouldn't give it away. The suit was good, and KPH was doing good work inside of it.
I'll be a little disappointed if Kyle & BP do double duty and play all the Preds. Hoping for an additional layer of complexity

Channeling the power stance
Pretty sure BP plays captured.
Soooo, Kyle did Upgrade Mo-cap? Or he cut entirely?
A shame we didn't get Ian Whyte, but I am ok with giving other people a chance. I just hope the actors did their homework. It'd be a shame if the Predator just Moves like a hulking beast, like the Super Predators did.
Brian Prince plays Captured, set reports confirm it. Kyle is credited as Emissary on IMDb, I guess he was one of the friendlies.

I totally agree, but given that Brian Prince is a parkour athlete and hinted at the kind of agility and movement required for him on set, I'm feeling good about it!

QuoteIf you had asked me 10 years ago why I was doing parkour, there's no way I'd say i was training to be the 2018 Predator... but here we are 😆
The 4 months I spent getting in and out of this suit were the hardest, most fulfilling days I've ever experienced and I'm so grateful to have gotten the opportunity to play such an iconic character on the big screen. Do what you're passionate about despite where you think it might lead you because you might just be surprised.
Special thanks to Lance Gilbert and Shane Black for giving me the opportunity, the entire stunt team for training me and always having my back, the cast and crew for their support, the entire ADI team and most of all Kyle, Mike, Heather and Taryn for getting me through each day.

I don't know why they just don't get Van Damme to wear the suit again. He was the original predator and I think every succeeding predator after him was worse and worse the same was that every Batman after Adam West suck more and more.
