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.
Brendan Fraser is back for the upcoming fourth installment in The Mummy franchise from directors Radio Silence, and Michael Johnston (Obsession) is now in talks to join him.
The Hollywood Reporter lets us know tonight that Michael Johnston is in “early talks” to join The Mummy 4, which will release in theaters on October 15, 2027 via Universal.
Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz, and John Hannah will reprise their iconic roles as Rick O’Connell, Evelyn O’Connell, and Jonathan Carnahan in the upcoming movie.
Radio Silence duo Matt Bettinelli-Olpin & Tyler Gillett (Ready or Not, Scream 5-6) are directing from a script by David Coggeshall (Orphan: First Kill).
Plot details are being kept under wraps at this time, but the brand new sequel is expected to disregard the events of the third movie, in which Rachel Weisz did not appear.
“It’s just really beautiful and scary and sweeping, and it’s awesome,” Gillet teases. Bettinelli-Olpin adds that the film “has all of the heart and the character that you could hope for.”
A remake of the classic Universal monster movie that took an action-adventure approach, The Mummy was released in 1999 and grossed $417 million worldwide. It was followed by The Mummy Returns in 2001 and The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor in 2008.
