Arnold in Talks!

[Darkness]

Sounds like it will be a minor cameo appearance if he hasn't even talked to Shane yet. If it was anything more substantial, they'd have approached him ages ago, given the script is finished. It's what I predicted though. Arnie was always going to be in it in some way but it does limit the story to a sort of present day Earth setting in some remote part of the world. It's cool though. Arnie is a big reason why I like Predator so much.

But like others have pointed out, he's way too old to fight a Predator. I doubt the Predators would even notice him on a hunt as he once had the strength to take on one (barely), now that strength is gone.

"They see een heet, you mast covah yourself in mahd so they don't see youu... theoretically..."

Ok, I really want Arnie to be in this now. 

theoretically... haha that's actually f**king hilarious now. I'll be back. Theoretically... If it bleeds, we can kill it. Theoretically... Oh good god that is amazing. Theoretically...

Hmm can't have old Arnie battling predators in mortal combat, however, what about old Arnie battle old Predator. I mean they do age, right? Maybe a grand smack down between Dutch and the Elder in charge. Yea it sounds stupid but I'm just saying. Theoretically... 

[Perfect-Organism]

I'm totally up for Arnold..  The less seriously you take Predator, the better...

[Master]

Yeah... No. Goofy stuff is needed but shouldn't dominate. On the other hand Predators tried to be dead serious and it didn't work out so well either.

[Ratchetcomand]

It would be cool to see Arnold return as Dutch one more time.

I wonder if Shane Black will continue off at the end of Predator 2 when Harrigan tells Garber " Don't worry Asshole, you'll get another chance" or if he's going to somehow tie all the solo Predator movies together not the Avp's. If that's the case then maybe All 3 should return Dutch Harrigan and Royce. But I remember reading that The Predator will be a sequel to Predator 1987 but takes place before Predator2. If that's the case then the timeline of the Predator films in order of events would be like this 1) Predator
2) The Predator
3) Predator 2
4) Predators.

Even though Predators doesn't acknowledge Predator 2 it still takes place after it ( According to Nimrod Antal ) so it's Predator 3.

I heard a while back that Arnie was originally going to be in Predator 2 but he decided to sign up for Terminator 2 with James Cameron. I really wonder what the movie would be if it was Arnie instead of Danny Glover. The whole setting could have been different maybe. I don't know anything about the first rewrites.

[Mike]

I read that Garey Buseys role as Peter Keyes was going to be Dutch and Dutch and Harrigan would team up at the end to fight the Predator which would of been so cool but the character was rewritten for Garey Busey.

[Perfect-Organism]

Yeah... No. Goofy stuff is needed but shouldn't dominate. On the other hand Predators tried to be dead serious and it didn't work out so well either.

I think at this stage there is no way to see Arnie in this type of film without it being a sort of farcical satire of himself.  I think if he tells anyone to Get to the Chopper or anything like that, the audience will laugh their asses off, and rightly so.  Every two-bit comedian will pick up on it and incorporate it into their skit.  Its what SNL dreams are made of.

[Danny Harrigan]

Duch,Harrigan and Garber could be back but we dont know anything about the plot yet.

Garber became the head of the OWLF and he may need the old guys to help him out with a plan which Harrigan dont like and hates Garber so he's leaving.(Later rejoins because he afraids preds visiting him because he killed one ,so he better prepare)
They have time to prepare because they know the hunters visiting Earth in every ten years and they alredy had Predstuff from P2.

So,if they have Arnold than this is present day in 2017.I prefer for a predator movie to be on Earth in present time.
Will be interesting if they mentions Predators or not.

+They need Alan Silverstri back as well for the score.

[PRJ_since1990]

If it must be done then bring back both Dutch and Harrigan. Could be good as long as they aren't killing shit.

I want these characters to have some more closure. And not the wrist blades through the heart kind either. I think if they were in a mentoring role/leadership role, that would be awesome. However, a duel would not be unheard of. Elder vs Harrigan.

I also remember the rumors that he was going to have a cameo in the first AVP movie if he lost the election for California governor.

Those rumors were confirmed but never came through since he won the election.

[marrerom]

Its well past time for Arnold to reprise his role in a Predator film.  This is very exciting news.

Wait... you mean they actually would have referenced something from the Predator movies? That's insane, AVP and Req were practically Alien series mythology porn. They seemed to care very little about the Predator movies.
