QuoteThe actor and comedian currently starring on Netflix's Friends From College is part of the latest ensemble to face the Predator, the human-hunting extraterrestrial, in 2018's The Predator. But Key says there's more to the story than a carbon copy of the original.

"Predator was a real privilege to do, and if people think they're going to see a remake of the original movie, they're in for a surprise," he says. "A very pleasant surprise."

More importantly, he says, the film is neither standalone or sequel to the movies that have come before. "It's not a sequel," he explains, adding that the film has "lots of elements of humor" evoking director Shane Black's style. "It certainly lives in the universe of the five films that were made. I think that's probably the best way to say it and the only way I can say it right now."

Funny how people keep saying that it's not a sequel and not a reboot either, just a movie located in the same universe as the first two. Nothing wrong with that, but I think it's cool too if it's called a sequel.

Actors are often times very stupid. They're not necessarily more in the know, or more knowledgeable, than any folk here.

Pay no mind, it's a f**king sequel. You're a dork Keegan.

AvP and AvPR are officially definitely in Predator canon! Someone email Scified so they can do a big piece on it!  :P

I hope he joked or just doesnt understand what he says. The worst news about this film.

BigDaddyJohn

I don't think they will actually precisely acknowledge the two AVP's in the movie, nothing I saw and read until now indicates that anyway.

0 chance this acknowledges anything to do with avp.

The Predator post credit scene leaked.

Spoiler
Decades after the film, Weyland Industries gains access to the Predator ship and studies the FTL tech to develop their own which eventually links to Prometheus. Rory is hired as a linguist to study the Engineer language and help teach David how to speak it, that guy on the screen talking to David in the beginning of Prometheus is actually Rory's son and Quinn's grandson.

As much as I love the AVP films... I'd rather no links to them be made because then it'd be a clusterf**k like Fox's X-Men franchise.

It's a rebootquelmagining.

Wasn't there something in the leaked script vaguely referring to the AVP movies in relation to their helmets? Something along the lines of "The helmet that we've seen in five films" or something like that?

I don't think this means anything, this guy's just an actor.
