I don't know how legit this is
Never. If you see anything come from WeGotThisCovered or GiantFreakingRobot, just don't even click the links. Don't give them the ad revenue. Absolute trash sites, with fabricated exclusives and stories.

I'll take the "Skulls" concept over that fan treatment any day. I really couldn't care less about reoccurring characters/lore in a Predator movie. The Predator concept is barely even franchise potential as it is (Predator 2 being as fun as it is feels more like a fluke than anything. Predators had potential as a concept but I wish that Rodriguez himself directed it - the movie had no real OOMPH and just kind of meandered in its second half). But if we are going to get another one of these, then I see a small scale, period piece hunt like the "Skulls" synopsis as being the way to do it.
Absolutely. Predator would work as an anthology series, telling new stories with different characters each time. Sure you can have some overlap here and there, but it works best as a standalone each time. Bringing old characters back as fan service is just a cheap way to appeal to people, and looking at the last few Star Wars films, fan service does not make a good movie.
Plus Arnie and Glover are both well into their 70's now, and it is not going to be as believable fighting a predator.
Yeah, I'm in with this as well. Predator just has the flexibility within its premise to do this kind of thing. To be an anthology-style series. Don't get me wrong - it also has the potential to do an on-going premise like Hunters was, but it can just as easily fit anywhere and do anything.
My only concern is with the characters taking too long to catch up with the viewers. Granted I haven't looked into comanche culture just yet, but I'm hoping they'll use folklore to get around this and actually get up to speed with us fairly quickly.

There are plenty of things that can mess this movie up.
A female lead isn't one of those things. At all.
Indeed. As Skhelter pointed out above me with Sil's quote, the first film was directly highlighting and mocking excess masculinity. Predator has more depth and meaning than a lot of people tend to give it credit for.
It's nice to see them finally switch up the gender too. While I'd prefer an all female cast for the next Alien, I wonder if we might get some change when that returns. Now are we going to get a deliberately designed female Predator in this too?

Please god don't let it be a stupid Super-Predator. I hate those things more than the Crabators.
Just none of the genetic manipulation in this at all please. I imagine it wont. And I'm thankful. It's a tiresome trope.

My headcanon is that the bigger, angrier, uglier ones in Predators are the girls.
I used to like to imagine everyone we've seen so far is female.
