Get ready for an exciting update on the Predator franchise! The iconic Arnold Schwarzenegger is in talks to return to the series that made him a legend.
For those who missed it, the absence of Schwarzenegger in the sequel to the original Predator film left many fans disappointed. Despite initial plans for his return, the franchise moved on, exploring new storylines and characters. However, it seems that the door is now open for Arnie's comeback.
But here's where it gets controversial... Schwarzenegger has always wanted a substantial role, not just a cameo. His character, Alan "Dutch" Schaefer, made a brief appearance in the animated film Predator: Killer of Killers, which sparked hopes for a more significant role in future projects.
In an interview with Collider, director Dan Trachtenberg revealed his promising meeting with Schwarzenegger. Trachtenberg shared, "I met Arnold, and he expressed his excitement about rejoining the franchise, knowing that its glory has been restored. He even joked about some of the iconic lines from the original film!"
Producer Ben Rosenblatt confirmed to Deadline that Trachtenberg and Schwarzenegger have had multiple meetings to discuss the possibility of Schwarzenegger's return. Rosenblatt emphasized, "Getting Arnold back would be the holy grail of Predator movies. It's always been a dream to see him reprise his iconic role and continue the legacy he helped create."
And this is the part most people miss... Schwarzenegger's involvement could bring a whole new dimension to the franchise. His presence would not only attract fans from the original film but also introduce a new generation to the classic character of Dutch.
