Last Updated on July 31, 2021

Just yesterday Shane Black shared the first cast-photo from THE PREDATOR, the upcoming sequel which will bring one of the galaxy's most fearsome hunters to our world once again. Sterling K. Brown, Trevante Rhodes, Boyd Holbrook, Olivia Munn, Keegan-Michael Key and Jacob Tremblay are already part of THE PREDATOR cast and now THR reports that Alfie Allen (Game of Thrones) will be joining them. Production on THE PREDATOR officially got underway in Vancouver yesterday and Allen, who is also known for JOHN WICK, will be playing an ex-marine who teams up with the others in order to stop the Predator menace.

Speaking of monsters, although this time we'll be dealing with those of the giant variety, it seems that Kyle Chandler (Bloodlines) has signed up for GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS. Per Variety, Chandler will be playing the father of the already cast Millie Bobby Brown (Stranger Things). Plot details surrounding the GODZILLA sequel aren't yet known, but it has long been rumoured that other famous kaiju, such as Mothra, Rodan and King Ghidorah, will be making an appearance. Michael Dougherty (TRICK 'R TREAT) will be directing GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS as well as co-writing the script with Zach Shields and production on the film is looking to kick off this June. As far as which cast-members from the Gareth Edwards flick will be joining the sequel, Variety claims that only Ken Watanabe will be likely to return.

THE PREDATOR is due to hit theaters on February 9, 2018 while GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS is set for a March 22, 2019 release.
