According to First Showing, Oscar winner Adrian Brody will join the cast of Predators as well as Alice Braga (I Am Legend), Mahershalalhashbaz Ali ("The 4400"), Walton Goggins ("The Shield"), UFC fighter Oleg Taktarov, and Danny Trejo (confirming the rumors).
Apparently Brody ends up inheriting "the mantle of leader," while Braga will play the tough female killer. Ali plays a "man not afraid to die." Goggins is the loose canon of the group. And Taktarov is a former Russian special ops agent. Trejo will play Cuchillo, a hardened warrior with twin uzis strapped to his back.
In an update, they also report that Topher Grace is "in negotiations" to join the cast as an accountant type whose unassuming facade masks a dangerous serial killer.
This is some cast these guys have assembled. I have to say, I thought the multi-national mercenary plot sounded a bit obvious, but with solid actors on board it's looking a lot better to me.
We have heard the rumor of Predator Dogs being involved..well, here's a pic of what Alice Braga's tough girl character may look like in a fight to the death with the vicious beasts!
