MOONLIGHT Breakout Trevante Rhodes Joins The Cast Of Shane Black's THE PREDATOR

The latest addition to the cast of Shane Black's The Predator is Trevante Rhodes, who played the adult Chiron in Barry Jenkins' Moonlight. We don't have a name for his character yet, but THR reports that he will play the best friend of Boyd Holbrook's lead, who are both ex-marines. Olivia Munn will also star.

Though specific plot details remain under wraps, we did recently hear a rumor that the action would take place in the suburbs. Now, Black himself seemed to debunk this at the time but THR mentions it again here, so perhaps there is some truth to it after all.

Black is directing from a script by Fred Dekker, while John Davis, Joel Silver, and Lawrence Gordon are producing. The Predator is currently set for release on February 9th, 2018.

Unpopular opinion: Shane Black is not a very good director.

We always make have to make up our own minds about what we like or dislike.
He is just so good at the Buddy Cop genre, with the Nice Guys and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.

@RorMachine - I agree, is a good screenplay writer, but an average director at best.

@SimplyAz - I don't think he is though. He's good at the actual buddy aspects (dialogue, banter, chemistry etc) but the movies are always still tonally inconsistent, OTT messes. The Nice Guys started well and, like all of his movies, descended into boring, predictable tripe.

@RorMachine -

That's cool if you didn't like it.
Would personally love to see him tackle a DC project, I'm one of the few people who liked Iron Man 3, despite not always liking Iron Man as a character.

@SimplyAz - I recently re-watched Iron Man 3 and I have to say I was really impressed with how good that movie was.

I can see why people were disappointed with the mandarin twist, Ben Kingsley was really good in those videos so I would have liked to see more of him being menacing.

Have to agree that The Mandarin twist was a mistake but I really enjoyed the film.

At least now they can bring in the real Mandarin.

@RorMachine - Based on iron man 3, correct. Based on Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and The Nice Guys, shut up.

Really looking forward to this movie. With them failing with the PG13 Terminator sequel (Genisys) as well as Robocop remake, looking forward to a well made and Grown up Predator movie.

Would love to see an older Major Dutch cameo .

The only part of Genisys that I liked was Arnold's Pop character. Would rather have watched a whole film of Pop raising Sarah than what we got.
THe Role really suited Arnold and it was nice to see him try something different. I still haven't seen Maggie.

Can we get a Commando sequel where an older Arnold has to rescue a grown up Jenny?

@SimplyAz - Any word on King Conan? I was looking forward to that I hope Genisys didn't kill it.

@DeathSeal - Lets hope it still happens.

I have 0 expectations for this movie... Predator hasn't been good since the original.
