THE PREDATOR: New Ultra Hi-Res Stills Spotlight The Yautja's Latest Victims; Plus New Details On The Reshoots
20th Century Fox has released twenty new hi-res promotional stills from Shane Black's The Predator, featuring fresh shots of the human characters that will undoubtedly fall victim to the killer hunters.
With Chris McQuarrie's Mission: Impossible - Fallout opening at the end of the month, 20th Century Fox wisely pushed back Shane Black's The Predator earlier this year to September 14 where it should enjoy a solid uninterrupted run until the opening of Ruben Fleischer's Venom on October 5.
On another note, AVP Galaxy has shared new details on those extensive reshoots and it sounds like there were indeed some significant changes made to the third act, specifically with the "friendly Predators," who have now all been removed, and the death scenes for the more prominent main characters, which have all been completely changed.
The final battle with the upgraded Ultimate Predator will also now take place at night in the woods rather than outside the school, which was what was shown in the latest trailer. Without getting too deep into spoiler territory, the Ultimate Predator will apparently give our heroes a chance to escape before he begins to hunt them one by one, in his quest to uncover the best fighter.
Their report also states that the latest cut contains more scenes that will serve as connecting tissue to the past three Predator films as well as the two poorly-received Alien vs. Predator films. Lex's (Sanaa Lathan) spear will be on display alongside City Hunter's spear from Predator 2 and Casey Bracket (Olivia Munn) will, at some point, be shown a few grainy pictures of Predators from the original two films.

Hot on the heels of his villainous turn in Logan, Boyd Holbrook landed another promising gig in Shane Black's The Predator. He stars as the lead of the film, Quinn McKenna, a former Army Ranger who encounters the Predators upon arrival. However, it sounds like he's going to have trouble convincing others of their existence, at least in the beginning.
Olivia Munn stars as Casey Bracket, a disgruntled science teacher that will, for some reason, team-up with the crew of former soldiers on their suicide mission of stopping the Predators.
While it was previously reported that Casey Bracket (Olivia Munn) was a scientist, it looks like she's actually a science teacher, which explains how she knows Rory McKenna (Jacob Tremblay).
Thomas Jane stars as Baxley, a military veteran who served in Afghanistan and Iraq and during the events of the film, will be suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.
Trevante Rhodes stars as Nebraska Williams, a former Marine and best friend of Quinn McKenna (Boyd Holbrook).
Alfie Allen stars as Lynch, one of the many former soldiers that will team-up with Quinn McKenna (Boyd Holbrook) to stop the Predators. Allen will also return in Game of Thrones next year and will hopefully earn his redemption.
Augusto Aguilera stars as Nettles, a former Blackhawk helicopter pilot that has suffered a traumatic brain injury after a terrifying crash.
Jacob Tremblay stars as Rory McKenna, the son of Quinn (Body Holbrook) and Emily (Yvonne Strahovski), who has a form of autism. He'll inadvertently summon the Predators and will then play a key role in stopping them thanks to his preternatural ability to learn languages.
Keegan-Michael Key stars as Coyle, one of the many former soldiers that will team-up with Quinn McKenna (Boyd Holbrook) to stop the Predator threat.
Sterling K. Brown stars as Will Traeger, an agent who arrests Quinn McKenna (Boyd Holbrook) and later recruits him to help save the day. He also wins the competition for coolest name in The Predator.
Nebraska Williams (Trevante Rhodes) makes a discovery of some sort as Coyle (Keegan-Michael Key) and Baxley (Thomas Jane) look on in the background.
Jake Busey stars as Sean Keyes - the son of Peter Keyes, who was coincidently played by his father Gary Busey in Predator 2.
Casey Bracket (Olivia Munn) does her best to protect Rory McKenna (Jacob Tremblay), but could this mean something bad already happened to his mother (Yvonne Strahovski)?
The Yautja throws down in a laboratory of some sort, presumably shortly after waking up in captivity.

It looks like The Predator is still very upset about Wolverine's (Hugh Jackman) death in Logan.

Eight years after Predators, the most lethal hunter in the universe returns to the big-screen in The Predator.

Director Shane Black and the principal cast of The Predator. From left-to-right, we have Sterling K. Brown, Trevante Rhodes, Boyd Holbrook, Jacob Tremblay, Olivia Munn, and Keegan-Michael Key.
From the outer reaches of space to the small-town streets of suburbia, the hunt comes home in Shane Black's explosive reinvention of the Predator series. Now, the universe's most lethal hunters are stronger, smarter and deadlier than ever before, having genetically upgraded themselves with DNA from other species. When a young boy accidentally triggers their return to Earth, only a ragtag crew of ex-soldiers and a disgruntled science teacher can prevent the end of the human race.
