Quote from: RoguePred1987 on Aug 28, 2023, 12:53:50 AMIn a recent interview, it was nice to see Dan acknowledge both Arnold and Danny Glover and say there's still time for them both to come back in a sequel. I'm sure they'd both be up for it so long as they were given actual roles in whatever project it could hypothetically be, and not just cameos.
Don't get me wrong, I love Arnie and Glover in their classic Predator roles. But here's the thing:
What kind of actual roles do you guys envision for Arnie and Glover? Both actors are now well into the elderly age category. So them going mano-a-mano with the Predator again is going to strech crediblity to the breaking point. I mean two old geezers reprising the sort of physical no-holds-barred style of fight we saw in Pred and Pred 2 is asking a lot of the audience, even for Hollywood. So what kind of roles will work now that both of them have since long past their prime?
I suppose its possible both Arnie and Glover's character can be some sort of elder statesman/advisor/mentor role to the main lead. Given their prior experience surviving the Predator encounters, no doubt they would have valuable experience to share. But is that really "actual roles"? Do Arnie and Glover really want to be reduced to playing some stereotypical "wise old men" supporting role in the background while the main lead hogs all the glory?
Its what Dan himself said, he wants something "cool", something that is still very much Predator, but something we haven't seen before. What would that mean for Arnie and Glover?
