In an interview with IGN FilmForce, Robert Rodriguez has ‘confirmed’ that they are looking at a sequel to Predators.
“[The studio] said, ‘Let’s do some other ones. What other story ideas do you have?’” says the filmmaker. “Because it was like, let’s test out the market with this one. They really wanted it to be pretty contained, pretty scaled-back. They didn’t want to put too many of the ideas into it that we could save for a second one. So we could see what the appetite was, because the bigger movie would actually be what comes following that. That kind of sets up a new storyline, new location and world, and then you can really go crazy from there.”
Rodriguez says he has “an idea” of what he will do with the sequel. The next step, he says, is probably to have other writers come in and pitch different versions of his basic premise, along with new concepts. And then, as with the first Predators, he’ll pick the best one. As for whether or not he would direct the sequel...
“I don’t know,” he laughs. “I think I have too many people wanting me to do Sin City 2 first!”
Thanks to Shasvre for the news.

although i would like to see another 1.... please dont do any more, 2 me they're all big disappointments ...avp....avpr.... even predators (although i wasnt expecting much from it anyway)
Predators made more than 80 million worlwide.
Bring the sequel :):)
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
box office

I'm skeptical. Does anyone else here remember when Aliens was a commercial success and they started talking about making back-to-back sequels for the franchise? Then we got Alien3 a few years later? Well, this sorta makes me feel the same way. And btw, this article is not an official confirmation of anything.
No more Predator"s" plzzzzz!!!!
YYYYEEEESSSS!!!!!!!
Not interested. Predator 1 and 2 are the only real Predator films in my eyes.
"Because it was like, let's test out the market with this one. They really wanted it to be pretty contained, pretty scaled-back.

Prepare to f**k up some classics with little thought...
In all fairness if u dont like the concept of a new movie you dont have to watch it...
Agree with deGRESSOR and skull-splitter
This is going to great! I am so excited to hear this! But what I don't get are these so called die hard fans of the Predator movies that are so upset about Predators. Being a die hard Predator fan and saying you didn't like Predators is like saying "I am Metallica's biggiest fan but Master of Puppets sucks!" I just don't get the logic of these guys. Now I will say that both AVPs were like Load and Reload of the Metallica collection. I guess to each his own. By the way AVATAR SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Metzo those are domestic numbers, not worldwide numbers. Worldwide it has made almost 81 million.
Can understand people being a little disappointed with Predators....but C'mon people...it was good...not great...but good.
pfft better get some fresh ideas than. a predator can only be scary for so long with the same basic approach..
and crash sucks.. avp was more like st. anger hahah. and you cant say MoP is like predators. MoP=classic predators a pretty damn good tribute album. ::)
I agree with anonymous... any ALIEN PREQUEL NEWS and or UPDATES??? ???
I would like to see what they could do with a bigger budget. Sucks that he would rather do sin city 2. I don't see why everyone hates on avpr. I know as far as characters they sucked and it was dark. But we got to see how a real predator would hunt aliens, not getting taken out by the first one they fight like in the first avp. And they showed the predators home planet. It took a hyprid to take out wolf. Is wolf a super predator? Might be. Nothing will ever match the original. But at least we got the universes greatest hunter out of it, and now a good enough director ( hopfully) to keep it going strong. People need to stop being haters and stop trying to compare it to the original your just going to get burned everytime
Robert is taking the right steps to make Predators 2 a great success, not to rush it, and bring in plenty of writers so the script doesn't wind up like AVPR although I liked the battle scenes in it. I loved Predators, even more than the original and the sequel. The negative comments from so called "Predator" fans, all they are really upset about is the victor of the Classic vs Berserker fight. Go make the sequel, if you aren't going to direct, you can still supervise. Go, make us all proud.
BRANG ON THE SEGUEL!!!!!!!PREDATORS WAS AWESOME!!!!!PART 1 IS GOING TO BE INSANE!!!!!!!
i MEAN PART 2!!!!!!!!AM SO HYPED FOR IT!!!!!! ;D
if we don't get colonial marines in a massive predator civil war on a ACTUAL outerworldly setting the sequel is doomed to be a FAILURE!!
if que don't get colonial marines in a predator racial civil war on a otherworldly setting the sequel will fail, come on i want to have a hundreds of predators killing everyone on sight while marines shoot at them whit helicopters and have some crazy batsh1t action!!
umm wouldnt it be called predator 4? ::) im tired of hearing about pred.. i wanna hear some ALien news...
this is good news
"let's test out the market" !?!?!
so after 4 alien films, 3 predator films, and 2 avp films they finally decide to get serious?
this movie isn;t making enough money in my opinion
f**k yeah, this is great news.
Wow I think this is good news. I liked Predators... of course classic pred should have killed them all, but thats my beef with the film. I think a sequel can be good, and definitly some pred genocide would be amazing.
the NEXT one should be AVP set in SPACE plz RR PALEASE help like leeloo on fifth element plz help PALEAYAEZE....help
absolutely FANTASTIC NEWS!! i dunno what half of these retarded people are talking about saying to stop making predator movies. read the quote asshole, 'lets test the market with this one'.. personally i though predators was amazing, and knowing that rodriguez is doing another is great news. but even if u HATED predators, rest easy that the next one is gonna be 'bigger' ' new storyline, new world'. if you've lost hope in predator after 3 movies, then ur a pretty pathetic fan, maybe u should go back to twilightgalaxy and rave on some box offce shit... haha people hu only liked the original are probs the same dumbshits that wanted arny to do a cameo in predators :P
and as for people talking up another AVP movie, i wouldnt. your all the same, u want a movie, u talk a movie up then shoot it down cos it wasnt everything u wanted. avp is a dead stick, no amount of CGI violence is gonna save that series, so id concentrate on the important stuff like the alien prequels and the next predator movie, cos this series is literally just getting started :)
p.s crashsucks, i agree, avatar sucked DICK!
I want to wait to prequal Pre4dators...
Because they two survivor royce and isabella want to
find space ship and the new survive,the story is reborn....
I"LL DIRECT IT
they already did that with the sequel comic, wasnt very good, ended almost the exact same as the movie and i wasnt too impressed with the predator they where fighting..
When and if they do a sequel I hope they divulge more into the clan wars, and not from the Humans, I want to see Preds interacting between each other and actually talking.
And how about some "Enemy Mine" action, too? There was a hint of it with Brody and Classic towards the end of the movie.
I just hope he picks a better director! And I would rather not see Predator versus Predator action. It didn't work well on Predators! Reminded me of that Power rangers! Alot of wobbly rubber flying all over the place! MEH!!! >:(
I think any Predator sequel that comes out now will get butchered by fans...period. Predators was a great Predator movie. Best movie ever? Of course not. Better than the original? Nope. Competent sequel? Definitely. Should they make more? f**k YES!!!
frankaster - wat the f**king f**k, if they make a sequel as bland and retarded as that, i'll f**king kill myself.. hundreds of predators in a civil war, killing one another, with marines(from the alien franchise) on another planet? theres like 10 reasons why that wud be a piss pile of shit, number 1 being that predators work in small doses, thats why theyr scary, having a shit tonne wud completely ruin the f**king thing that makes them a good franchise monster. if your one of the people that keeps asking for an AVP in space and talked shit about predators so help me f**king god...
This is good news. Predators was good. Ide still would like to see a "good" avp. So much potential there that their not using
I can't f***ing believe I have to wait until 19th of August. Envies for you guys.
Hungary sucks!!!
By the time it gets into cinemas here with f***ing synchrone ruining the atmospere, you will have it on Blue-ray. >:(
Well as I agree with deGRESSOR that Pred 1 and 2 are the only Predator movies that I like... I don't hate or dislike the new Predators movie I loved it and It's great to have that movie show better respect to the Franchise than the stupid AVP and AVPR films. But i don't think they need to push for more or you will just drain the life from it.
I want to see Grey Back the Elder PREDATOR clan chief from PREDATOR2 one-on-one duel with the BLACK BAD BLOOD PREDATOR elder clan chief or the big SUPER MAN Elde from shitty AVP clan ,with his cool short sword in this one.
If they do I hope they use the surviving characters now that they've put in the ground work - that and bring back Hanzo, his death wasn't explicit!
i thaut the movie was awsum, the only thing i would change would be the original predator to have the classic roar again, and the sound effects from the predator vision. im well up for a sequel, wonder if theyl continue with these characters or go in a diffrent direction, jus hope rodriguez doesnt go down his usual 'rediculous' paths.
BRING ON THE SEQUEL, I LOVED IT!! I would love to see more of these bad bloods fighting the originals in the next one. that would be freaking amazing!! oh, unit-731, i have to agree with your comparison of AVP to St. Anger. terrible, but i still liked it. what can i say, i am a fanatic
What's wrong with you people who mentioned about stop bringing the sequel? Movie is also a form of art, let's see how creative the story will be, isn't it? Juz shut up & don't watch if u don't want to watch, no point to bullshit around here...
Got the sequel comic comic the other day. I would have to say that was the worst predator comic I have ever read in my life. The art work sucked and the story was worse. It leaves off after the movie with Royce and Isabelle on the planet 2 months after the movie trying to survive off what they kill. They end up banging only to be woken up by a predator dropping off armor for Royce to fight "their" champion which ends up being a FOUR armed predator with those stupid ass top teeth. Four armed predator!!!!!! Wtf!!!!! They end up killing it thinking that the predators will take them home but they just stay stuck there and hats it. Dark horse need to step there game up with these book and stop trying to slap the together. I want the same art work from the covers in the book I don't care how long it takes just as long as it comes out good
Yeah I also agree with MasterRich & deGRESSOR, this new movie is a nice addition to the series, and I enjoyed PREDATORS more than I thought I would, but let's not make an issue of it. Predator 1 and 2 are fine and Roriguez movie makes a valid 3rd install, but that's all it is, even if he sees it as something else. I'd rather not have any more sequels unless they follow the continuity already set, but we know Rodriguez isnt going to do that anyway, he's just gonna make a sequel to his movie that above all else is obvious, and I certainly don't want more of the same.
WoW RR that was quick!! just be cool dude, take your time and dont rush it. 1 predator this time dude, 1!!!! not 3 or 4 or 5 keep it simple!! thats why people love classic, pussyface and wolf the best, becuase they were loners nomads PREDATORS!!!!!!!
dont forget everyone, in the new predator series, predator 2 AVP AVPR has been ditched, and thats where the king predator and all this stuff was introduced, so i wouldnt count on seeing a king predator in this sequel. and i kinda hope we dont, i especially would wanna see it fight, it would be like the yoda fighting sequence in star wars ep2, ooo yeah hes about to fight... wat the f**k was that *so bad*... some things like the homeworld should just stay a secret, it u give the viewers wat they'v wanted for decades then the fact is 50% will hate it, 25% will dislike it and become disillusioned from the franchise...
and i agree with akafighter408, the only could thing about the sequel comic is that i only wasted $5 on it and its got a nice but misleading front cover..
@ screamokiemo What are you 10 years old? ::) You dont know what youre talking about... Youre just an obsessed Pred fanboy.. If they did make a Predators 2, it will get butchered by fans... Predators wasnt the best. they should change it up and release the Alien Prequel first then Preds 2
rycher.. your on avpgalaxy dude, its made for obsessed alien and predator fans, so i'll voice my opinion thanks.. well since the alien prequel has been set for late 2011, it will come out first. and just cos alien and predator have had a couple movies and a shit tonne of comics together doesnt make them related or something, cos by saying they should change it up sounds like the directors of predator movies and alien movies actively discuss how to keep the right balance of both, which is a retarded thing to say...
fans will only butcher a bad movie, they wont hate it for continuing a journey we all wanna take with this franchise. so lets support predators and robert so that this series can get stronger, instead of being whiny little girls and condemning the franchise to end badly, like aliens did...
Happy to hear there's a sequel on the way. Also, Rodriguez should make the next AvP. He'd surely do a better job than the previous attempts.
Well said Screamokiemo Sir!! Well said indeed!!
4 Alien Movies, 2 rushed AvP films, I guess they should make 1 more Predator Movie to even the number of Alien movies that are already out, although an Alien Prequel is planned. Who knows maybe this will be part of a new "Trilogy" storyline for Predator.
Oh and 1 other thing if any future sequels for AvP or Predator films are made:
ABSOLUTELY NO FEMALE PREDATORS/YAUTJAS!!!!!!!!!!
(other wise I'd avoid it entirely)
@screamokiemo I just dont want the sequel to end up like the AVP films thats all... I say they should take all the time they need.. Predators seemed too short (movie length). It was good but too short.. I just hope Alien prequel wont be rushed... at least we can get two new good Alien and Pred movies.
Yeah I absolutely agree, I definately don't wanna see another bunch of rushed movies 'for the fans'. But Robert seems to know what works and fox definately haven't given up hope in the franchise, so hopefully we'll get a couple more really good predator movies and all that's left is to see what will follow the alien prequel=]
f**k Fox... Robert should do what he wants with the film.. Thats what will make it good
Predators was an amazing movie i cannot wait for the sequel. i hope it takes place directly after the first, however i saw the preview for the official comic sequel and its terrible, i still have nightmares about it
Worst predator comic ever!!! Four armed predator WTF!!!!!
He says "new story, new world" I hope that means he's starting over with something brand new, without the lame new predator race with the fish face.
i just hope by new world, none of the writers decide to make that the homeworld... to see the predator homeworld is like to see heaven, the instant u do it will ruin it for 50% of us=|
Whatever this "new world" is, even if its the homeworld I'd be fine with it, so long as it actually "looks" like a new world. One the biggest flaws with Predators was it NEVER looked like the characters were anywhere else but on Earth, and when we do see where we're supposed to be, the effect is almost laughable rather than convincing. Ok so it wasn't a large budget movie, but if Ridley Scott could do it for Alien, then surely anything is possible these days.
@ RoaryUK speaking of Ridley Scott.. the Prequel is gunna rock!
@That guy who said you can't be a metallica fan and not like Master of Puppets - I'm a metallica fan and I don't like Master of Puppets. It's way overrated. RTL is much better.
Either way, I'm a predator fan and predators was pretty meh. I mean sure, it was entertaining, and they didn't do any canon-threatening crap or destroy the effectiveness of the original film. It just felt like a "tough guy" film where everyone was trying to be really tough with ridiculous self-indulgent tough guy quotes and it didn't really work. It was entertaining, and for a modern-day sequel to an old film, it's good, but it's just.. not great either. Not something to write home about. What can I say?
who here wants to bet that the Arnold camio was saved for the upcoming sequal??
NO ARNIE CAMEO!!! no no no no no no, no... no director on earth is that desperate and stupid..
first off let me say its awesome to be among other people who love predator and aliens...its people like us that keep fox bringing out the movies and keeping it alive...i am alittle confused on the crap that is being flung on the avp movies..i loved the novel aliens vs predator prey by steve perry and stephani perry..and the rest of the novels that came out..i guess i would rather see movies made of the creatures that have come to love and know..even if their are not as good as the books..something is better than nothing ..in my opinion..to me the predators are freakin awesome..so i hope they keep making movies cause i will be defffinatly going to see them..
WOW THATS AWESOME i wanna know how many and what kind of predators are going to be in the next Predators movie, when i saw the first Predators movie, i think the bezerker Predator was probably the bad blood predator because he killed the original :o predator of his own clan, i think the bezerker predator was part of their clan and maybe the tracker and falconer predator i dont know
Oh no, that's terrible news, like PredatorS wasn't bad enough! :(
screamokiemo - the two AvPs have nothing to do with either the Predator nor Alien franchises. They are three very different franchises.
*big facepalm*
"no director on earth is that desperate and stupid"
McG obviously is.
This is screamokiemo, on my iPhone, and fkingvoodoomagicman or watever, iv said like 5 times in this comment thread that comparing avp or alien to the predator franchise is a silly misinformed thing to do bcos they are not the same franchise.. So exactly wat you accusing me of thinking is f**ked. To say that another predator movie would be a bad thing Is a shit thing to say and makes you a useless predator fan, so I wouldn't bother voicing your opinion on a PREDATOR fan site, cod your opinion is bullshit=]
I love Predators they are soo amazing, i'll be at every one of them TEN times. I f**kcing love seeing my Predatotrs treated decent;y again, except pleae lose that stupid fishface Predator. He damn ugly ass!
Predators movie was a good effort! i just wish they had made the predators more superhuman, like in 1st movie, jumping through trees! throwing huge men about like empty shellsuits!!!.Even as crap as AVP_R was,they did a pretty good job on the predator it self. His movment and stength, He wasted loads of aliens!!!. Predators are top of the food chain and shouldn't be so easy to kill off!!!.I felt they were too clunky at times in this movie and just not agile enough!.Bring on a sequel though!!!
"To say that another predator movie would be a bad thing Is a shit thing to say"..... Hahaha not as bad as being a "fan" that LOVES any sort of SHIT they smack the Predator brand on.
*facepalm*
I sure hope they get the scaling right this time , I mean the predators in predators were small. They referenced the two different preds fighting each other when lawrence fishburne said, the big ones run it and the lil ones fight against them. well, when the one that was tied up in their camp was fighting the one that had a jaw on his mask , they looked the same and were maybe just maybe an inch taller than brody. They are tall creatures like 7 feet I could be a lil but think they are around there, was dissapointing to see that they didnt make them badass and taller.I mean look their masks were alsmost as wide as their shoulders looked like they had 5' 11' guys playing the predators
This movie needs a much bigger budget, you can tell with Predators there wasn't enuff money. they really need a $100-150million budget to get the best results. Fox need to stop being cheap and give it a serious budget it deserves.
