The last predator movie was great because you had a predator show up on earth with a gift for humans, so the first thing the predator does with his gift is kill all the humans around him lol So stupid.
Please have this be Predator 3 and just add time travel where its a predator sea captain and he originated the name Black Beard or something.

Surprised but very happy to see Disney isn't sitting on the Predator IP and doing nothing with it.
Shane Black couldn't even save this series. I've got zero faith in this. Stanley Kubrick could return from the grave to direct and I would still have zero faith
A well thought out/shot period Predator film would be awesome. Perhaps amidst a big war.
Ultimately it was low tech that allowed Dutch to win in the first film.
Shane Black's writing and directing strengths did not compliment a Predator film. I like his films usually, but The Predator was a bad call.
I always thought it would be amazing if they made some generic war movie and then had a 'From dusk till Dawn' twist where the Predator just shows up halfway through.
Even more batshit crazy haha
Writer Fred Dekker Talks Original Third Act for The Predator - Alien vs. Predator Galaxy
It's safe to say that last year's The Predator was not exactly the resounding success we were hoping for. While the movie did have its merits, a surprising controversy, disappointing box office results, and mixed to negative reviews all but ensured that any plans for a sequel to Shane Black and...

After The Predator I've got pretty much no interest in this. I've got no faith in it being any good, and I'm rather tired of Hollywood regurgitating old movie franchises.
Set it in the English countryside with a Predator stalking a bunch of inbred Tories on one of their illegal fox hunts. No heros or survivors, just some Predator hunting and skinning them one by one.
If they really need to continue with the dumb one-upsmanship of giving the Predators Predator dogs, they can have Predator horses now too.

I'd like them to incorporate some sense of horror again, like when Anna in predator 1 is telling them about how it always happens in the hottest years. Now the predator is such a pop culture icon it isnt really scary anymore- but I think the characters in the films should be pretty terrified like Billy and most of the characters in predator 2 who didn't know what it was.
From 2 onward everyone just seemed to roll with and it was leaning more toward action than horror.

Even though it's the weakest in the series, I actually still enjoyed The Predator, as a dumb sci-fi action movie, I would have loved to see Black's original version without all the studio interference.
The 2 other Predators teaming up with the main cast to take down the big bastard assassin Predator would have been pretty cool to watch, plus the armoured car chase scene that was cut and the weird genetic hybrid creatures that were supposed to be in the tank on the ship (instead of the Iron-Man Predator suit)
Shame we will probably never see that version.
Ahhh Black's original version indeed... if only this was in HBO Max's ballpark. Since it's Disney, they would only put some mermaid asshair on the Predator's buttocks.
I feel like Predator was a one&done film tbh. The oroginal was basically perfect for what it was going for; that being a deconstruction of the 80's 'Murica action genre. Similar to War of the Worlds being a deconstruction of the Western Imperialism narrative.
Everything after tried to be an actual 'Murican action movie, which then judt misses the point.

They really can't put franchises to bed and come up with something new can they?
I assume the multitude of sequels and remakes that plague Hollywood these days are ordered by the studios, but it'd be nice if more filmmakers responded with "Nah I want to make something new" when offered these things.
I love Predator, but it's been done, and it won't be done better. Do something new.

Predator and Terminator still playing "let it die" chicken.
Yes.
Haven't watched any Predator sequels after 1 & 2, but saw partially of that Adrien Brody Predator...
🙄☹️

Always wished they had just gone the anthology route with Preds showing up at time points in history (medieval, WWII, Vietnam, Old West, etc.) and fucking shit up....
Eh maybe one of these days....a Predator movie/show based in WWII has always been a dream of mine, feel like there's tons of potential.

Oh my god Im really excited for this premise. I really hope this is set during the period of colonialism and the displacement of the native american people. I always thought having a predator be set in a more "tribal" setting has alot of promise and a Predator movie as a period piece was always something that could have worked. Hear me out guys but I think this could be excellent, this is the perfect setup for a more thoughtful installment in the Predator franchise and a direction that I always thought this franchise would be well suited for.
The Predator as a character is a perfect analogy for the atrocities commited by the white man against the native american people. What the predator does to its victims (skinning, making them into trophies) is actually very similar to what the invading forces did to the native american people (scalping and worse). The horror that the native american people had to endure due to colonialism is I think something that isnt as widely known about as it should be and if a Predator movie of all things shines more of a light on it, thats fine by me. If this is the direction they are going in, I could actually see the main character loosing their fight against the Predator in some major way. Maybe the main character themselve wont die, but instead what they fought to protect will.
Theres also a really great opportunity for creative set-pieces in this. Imagine a Predator swooping in during a conflict between british forces and the native people. Or a native american warrior in full traditional warrior garments going up against a Predator. A Predator watching the sun rise ontop of a totem pole. So much potential for beautiful cinematography.
At the same time, the Predator is a great analogy for a woman going up against social norms. Remember how in the first Predator, the Predator ignores the only female character in the movie and it is even said directly that the Predator only attacks men? They can pick that up again for this movie. Imagine a scene early on in the movie where the female main character tries to attack the Predator but is barely even noticed and just tossed aside, of no interest to the Predator because he doesnt take women seriously as potential prey. Then later on in the movie you can have a scene that mirrors this where the female main character has put the Predator through some trouble and then you can see through body-language-acting that the Predator starts to finally take her seriously as an opponent and is basically like "Alright, you really want this fight? Then come at me". It can be a really cathartic moment.
Another thought about this: Remember how the female character in Predator 1 (dont remember her name) said that the Predator comes every summer? This can be picked up again too. You can have this movie not take place over the course of 2 - 3 days like the other ones, but instead have it be more slow-burning and make it take place over the course of 2 - 3 cycles, so several years. This also allows the filmmakers to show the progression of colonial influence on the land over a longer period of time, which corresponds with the Predator also become more and more horrific in his attacks on the tribe.
Im kinda nerding out here, I really think this has so much potential. I really hope they are going into this direction, I think this would even be more suited to be a more slow-burning thriller than a true action movie. Im pumped, please let this happen, the potential is all there.
Yeah The Predator was not that good.
I'd definitely be more interested in a time period one as mentioned, medieval times or samurai stuff why not?

I enjoyed Key in Shane Black's Predator, but overall it was a poor product. I didn't think they'd be coming back to this property so quick. Hopefully a clean slate. Overall though I think it's too late.
I enjoyed Terminator Dark Fate for the most part. Probably the best Terminator movie since 2 and yet it still bombed at the BO. Can't help but feel this movie is going towards the same fate regardless of its quality.

say what you will about Predator 2 (IMO, it's a fun but trashy sequel to a great film), but that shot fucking ownsBring back the nitty gritty.
If they play it smart and go for a lower budget movie, instead of a big budget movie, it will have a much better chance of being successful and making money. It's unlikely they will give this a big budget anyway after how The Predator performed.
The Predator had the biggest budget ($88 Million) out of all the Predator movies, including the AvP movies, so the returns weren't massive ($160 Million at the box office) A much smaller budget would make sense.
There is still a lot of potential in the franchise, same goes for Alien, it just needs the right people in charge to really get the most out of it now.
Also I think the same goes for The Terminator franchise too. All the sequels keep trying to top T2, which seems to be an impossible task, but I think a lower budget movie, like the first movie would be the way to go to make another really good Terminator movie.
Bring back the nitty gritty.
Man, Predator 2 has aged remarkably well in hindsight. Obviously not as well as the first film, but Predator 2 is MILES better than any movie with Predators we've received since then.
The whole subway sequence is great.
Only if it's Macauly Kulkin playing Kevin as an adult, I would pay good money to see this.
This is not a bad take. A lower budget more with a more focused/personal direction would go a long way towards getting some goodwill back from people. Maybe even go with a TV show first before going back to a movie take (look at well Mandalorian is received compared to the divisiveness of the ST).
I just don't think they'll go for that though, but we'll see.
Love this walking shot. Pred2 is still a great looking movie regardless of how you feel about the cheese.
No clue how this sequence in the alley looks as good as it does 30+ years later.

Yeh I really liked that movie, very little to complain about if I'm being honest.
Yeah, I'm really rooting for him. Hope he finds success!
Where do you get that he's a "gun for hire" when he's only done one movie?
Judging from the below story about the movie "SKULLS" and Dan's tweet about how this was meant to be a surprise, and that he was looking forward to people discovering it, my guess is that this was a mostly original tale about a warrior woman fighting a monster of some sort, that we later learn is actually a Predator. Means the movie could exist outside of the other entries as its own thing, that it hits established franchise iconography (jungle/forest, rudimentary weapons fashioned to survive, etc), and also lends further thought to Dan saying he's actually been working on this for four years...

‘Predator 5’ Was Supposed to Be a Surprise and Has Been in the Works for Years, Says Director
One of the biggest question marks in Disney’s acquisition of all things Fox (sans Fox News) was how they’d handle horror and R-rated movies. In the past, they haven’t been too kind to our genre, even hiding behind the distribution wall of companies like Hollywood Pictures. This time around, they...
