Back in May, we reported that the ‘Predator’ reboot had been given a new 2018 release date. News came today, via Deadline, that actor Benicio Del Toro is currently in talks to star.

‘The Predator’ will be directed by Shane Black who is very familiar with the 1987 original film. He should be, he was in it. Black played the role of Hawkins and  co-starred alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger, who is in talks to return for reboot. Black co-wrote the script with Fred Dekker (Monster Squad).

Allegedly, the alien warrior will be getting a redesign for ‘The Predator’, with the intent of making it bigger and badder. Unfortunately, we will have to wait a while to see the new version, ‘The Predator’ is not set to open in theaters until February 9, 2018.
