The Predator would feature an Old Arnold Schwarzenegger
if he appeared
Rumors have swirled for some time now about Arnold Schwarzenegger returning to the world of Predator with Shane Blacks upcoming reboot of the franchise, though no confirmation has ever come about. Speaking with CraveOnline, Black confirmed some details on the film, like its modern day seting, meaning that, like Terminator Genisys, should Schwarzenegger return, hell be back as Old Arnold.
These things all happened in 1990, Black says of the events in the first two Predator movies. But now its 25 years later. So in other words, if Arnold [Schwarzenegger]s in it which Im not allowed to discuss [laughs] he would be old Arnold.
Schwarzenegger appeared as Major Alan Dutch Schaefer in John McTiernans original film where he lead a United States special forces team that came under attack from an alien entity that prizes the thrill of the hunt above all else.
Black also said that the title for the film, The Predator, has significance in the films script,
There is a reference in the script as to why that makes sense, but Im not really supposed to talk about it.
Production on The Predator is expected to begin this fall for a March 2, 2018 release.
Details on the film are still under wraps, but producer John Davis previously said: The writing is so fresh, the perspective is so fresh. Im telling you, youre going to get something you dont expect and youre going to say, This is the most entertaining way to reinvent a franchise.
The original Predator was followed by a direct sequel, Predator 2, in 1990 before crossing over with Foxs Alien franchise for two additional sequels, Alien vs. Predator and AvP: Requiem. In 2010, Nimrod Antal helmed a reboot with a new feature, Predators.
