Who should play Quinn McKenna?

[Space Invader]

I've said this before but I'd like Gerard Butler as McKenna and Jason Momoa as a secondary character.

 Cool choice. As well as Tom Hardy.

But first one had whole gang of bad ass tough guys. That's one of aspects that made it so special. I don't see why we can't have that again. Get Hardy, Butler, Urban, Johnson, Diesel and Grillo. A cast to be remembered.

Some names thrown around before but:

Frank Grillo, Ethan Hawke, Sharlto Copley, or Guy Pearce

[Scorpio]

It will be someone who's had a recent big box office success.  Go to boxofficemojo and look up the top films of this year and last year.  It'll be one of those guys guaranteed.

Chris Evans, Ryan Reynolds, or Matt Damon.

Lol. Pretty sure Quinn is cast. Benicio Del Toro, hello?

You don't try for months and months to get somebody(http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/benicio-del-toro-talks-star-912838) for just a supporting role.

Too many of you are hung up on the last name. "He can't be a McKenna!" 1) Who cares. 2) They can change the last name.

Trust me, I'd love Evans, Reynolds or Damon over Del Toro(because they're blockbuster-y and have headlined big recent movies, and in Damon's case, is really talented), but it doesn't seem to be the case.

I'd love to be proven wrong though.

But... those other names! Stick 'em in supporting roles where they belong. I love the man's man A-lister conceit Shane has been abiding by for this role.

They won't cast him in the lead.  Last time that happened was for The Wolfman and that bombed on a 150 mil budget.

I thought Quinn is Zac 'effin'  Efron? What happened?!?

Stop trying to antagonise BSG, Master. This isn't IMDB.

Seems like that would've happened no matter who the lead was. These days, film projects have become bigger than their stars anyways.

Just look at the following big name actors who have led one or more box office flops/bombs in the last 2 years: Bradley Cooper, Michael Fassbender, Vin Deisel, Channing Tatum, Chris Evans, Tom Hanks, Matthew McConaughey, Chris Hemsworth, George Clooney, Johnny Depp.

Ok. Boss, but he should really blame himself.

[BishopShouldGo]

No, I really shouldn't. You're coming off bad.

Ok. Sorry if I was rude.

Those guys didn't bomb in franchise movies. Mortdecai, The Last Witch Hunter, Blackhat, etc. were all non franchise films. Predator is a known quantity. Provided it has a smooth production and Shane gets to do what Shane does best, Fox will have a home run. Good cast, good director, good movie; the sky is the limit.

[Predator_Spirit]

Shane always do or write buddy movies, So I am expecting another big name actor.
