Are These the Men Playing ‘The Predator’? Plus a HUGE Rumor!
With filming set to begin soon, director Shane Black’s The Predator has been casting up in recent weeks, and now we may know who is playing the titular character(s).
As scooped by our friends at AvP Galaxy, IMDb just added stuntman Kyle Strauts (The Cabin in the Woods) to the cast of The Predator, and wouldn’t ya know it, he’s listed as playing “Predator.” Strauts, who measures a massive 6’9″ tall, is from Vancouver, where the film is set to be shot, so we can be pretty sure that IMDb isn’t spreading around alternative information here.
Furthermore, the site also reports that fellow stuntman Brian A. Prince (Captain America: Civil War) will also perform inside one of the new Predator suits. The 6’10” Prince, not yet listed on IMDb, recently mentioned on his social media accounts that he’s in Vancouver filming a secret project; the implication here is that there will be more than one Predator in the reboot.

To add to this potential casting news, we figured we’d mention that rumors are currently swirling around the net that there will be a brand new Predator in The Predator… a bigger one than we’ve EVER seen before. The rumors indicate that the film’s new Predator will measure 10-feet tall and be even more badass than all the others, so stay tuned for more info about that.
The cast includes Jacob Tremblay, Boyd Holbrook, Sterling K. Brown, Keegan-Michael Key, Trevante Rhodes and Olivia Munn. Thomas Jane is also rumored.
Black co-wrote the script with Fred Dekker and is directing.
Twentieth Century Fox’s reboot of the sci-fi action franchise plans to film in Vancouver this coming February with a release date set for February 9th, 2018.
“Mythic Quest” actor Chase Yi has been cast in a lead role in Paramount and Blumhouse’s new Paranormal Activity movie, Deadline reports this afternoon.
Ian Tuason (Undertone) will direct the eighth installment in the Paranormal Activity film franchise, set to release in theaters May 21, 2027.
As for character details or plot, well, those remain scarce at this stage.
While we wait for further news on whether the demonic Toby will reappear, Tuason previously revealed to Bloody Disgusting that technology will play a huge role in his vision: “Technology — camera technology — has advanced to a point where it’s become a big part of the film and what I want to do there.”
It’s fitting, especially as it was the original Paranormal Activity that inspired the filmmaker’s haunting debut, undertone.
Paranormal Activity, created by Oren Peli, first hit theaters in 2007. Its groundbreaking minimalist approach to found-footage ghost stories has spawned a seven-film franchise that’s grossed nearly $900 million worldwide.
Franchise originator Oren Peli will produce for Solana Films, with James Wan and Jason Blum producing for Blumhouse Atomic Monster. Michael Clear and Judson Scott will exec produce for Blumhouse Atomic, with Alayna Glasthal overseeing the project for the company. Other exec producers include Steven Schneider for Room 101, Inc., Dan Slater and Cody Calahan.
Also on the way soon is the Paranormal Activity stage play.
