I don't remember the strause bro's ever saying anything about O.W.L.F. in Avp-R. However, i do remember they were in talks to make Garber the colonel but they couldn't get Adam Baldwin to do it


Also, the Avp movies will never be canon just like Colonial Marines will never be canon. Whoever is saying that obviously doesn't know about the new info regarding Michael Bishop from the Weyland Yutani Report. Now If they mean their allowed to take certain elements from Avp like Preds teaching us to build pyramids or using the young queen from Avp-R then i'd have no problem with that. I myself treat the preds we see in Avp as an older generation of Predators whose armor and tech have advanced to what we see on newer yautja today. Neca's bio's for the Avp preds also help in that regard. For example, the Temple Guard predator's role in yautja society is exactly the same as the Enforcer Predators role. The Enforcer could be the future Temple Guard.

What is this new info about Michael Bishop?

I actually wouldn't mind seeing Predator 2 being acknowledged...since it never really has been aside from a few homages view Predator weapons.

Corporal Hicks

What kind of acknowledgement would you be interested in?

Well, the movie has been hinted to be a detective story of sorts, which was the route the second movie followed to an extent. I'd at least like to see a character mention the events of what occurred, sort of like in Predators where Isabel gives a brief explanation of the Predator and what happened in South America. Truthfully I've always found it strange that Predator 2 gets little mention.

Okay, I don't understand. He said he's changing the Predator design like a reboot of the entire franchise and now he says that the Predator, Predator 2, and Predators are all canon in this universe. So is this film a sequel to those films or not? Is the Predator design that we all know and love by Stan Winston still going to be the same? God, I hate this man.

Master

It is sequel. The design will be changed as it was earlier. As it always is. I much prefere new take, then filed attempt like Classic from Ps.

He hasn't said he's rebooting the franchise. The very second report that came out about the film was a clarification that the film was a sequel, not a reboot. He also said he's not looking to just arbitrarily change the design of the Predator itself. There's no reason to panic.

TheShadowedOne1 is a victim of these constant clickbait articles that still keep referring to The Predator as a reboot.

He is not totally wrong, the more we get new infos the more it looks like a reboot disguised as a sequel.
We'll see, the lead actor will be crucial.

Kaltes

I thought it was made quite clear it's a sequel, but I guess people being worried about it being a reboot kinda makes sense, given so many sequels today feel more like reboots.

Corporal Hicks

It is clearly a sequel. I'm not sure how much clearer Black could make it.

EJA

One way it could follow up on the first movie is a return to the first one's setting, Val Verde, maybe involving the jungle hunter's dropship finally being found. The fact it's shooting in Vancouver doesn't really support this though.
