Predator 4: Exciting casts and storyline; Shane Black directs; Boyd Holbrook replaces Benicio Del Toro
Moviegoers will surely anticipate the showing of The Predator [4] as like in the rest of the fans of the movies of Star Wars and the Avengers who seemingly cannot end the coming of superhuman beings who always plan to rule the earth. Aliens or laboratory enhanced, these villains catches the interest of its viewers and thus making it into high grossing movies and blockbusters. No wonder that Hollywood is following a trend of sci-fi franchises like this and investing on continuing the story of these out-of-this-world creatures.
20th Century Fox is now convinced to continue a dormant series of The Predator that stopped in 2010. The Cheat Sheet has already revealed the coming director for its 4th sequel in the persona of Hawkins, before as one of its main cast, but now Director Shane Black. This is one of the first good signs of the movie as Black does have an impressive track record, lately having saved a near-salvaged character of a Marvel hero in Iron Man 3. The Predator 4 is set to shoot by September or October with a working title of "Ollie", which no one in the crew knows the meaning of.
There is a big chance though that Arnold Schwarzenegger will lead the movie, it may be that Director Shane Black knows the "plans" but would rather excite the viewers and fans about it. There is still no confirmation on the castings but one thing is sure of, there is a 'big budget' supporting the production. As previously reported by Deadline, Benicio del Toro will be joining the team, but recent reports of MovieWeb confirms him to be replaced by Boyd Holbrook. Scheduling has been the best explanation for the Toro dropout as he is fully loaded with projects, from Star Wars episode VIII to Sicario sequel.
If there are more about the showing of Predator 4, it would be that it is not another "reboot" from the 80's and 90's as Shane Black has yet to uncover more of its "rich mythology." Moreover, viewers can expect a more realistic environment for this movie as it will be set in the present day.
