Director Shane Black’s Predator sequel is picking up speed and has begun the casting process. We reported back in early March that Arnold Schwarzenegger was in talks to appear in the new film, but he’s not the only celebrity that has now entered negotiations.
During a radio interview with 99Jamz UnCensored rapper-actor-entrepreneur 50 Cent let it slip the he’s currently in talks with Black to star in Predator.

“Fiddy” (Curtis Jackson) already has an impressive list of roles under his belt. He’s appeared in many films including the boxing drama Southpaw, the comedy Spy, the action film Escape Plan, Get Rich or Die Trying and many more. He’s also a writer and producer. Of course, he’s most well known his music career.
Black will be directing off of the script he co-wrote with Fred Dekker. Black, who also directed Iron Man 3, is no stranger to the Predator franchise. In fact, Black had a role in the original film of the franchise. He played Hawkins, one of the commandos sent to the jungles of Central America to rescue a group of hostages, only to find themselves hunted by an extraterrestrial warrior.
