Schwarzenegger replied by saying that the original Predator was one of his “absolute favorite” projects and that he is not yet attached to Black’s film, adding that Black is a “very talented guy.” In a Reddit interview, the actor was asked whether he would participate in the franchise reboot that Shane Black is developing. Perhaps Predator 5 can find the artistic merit (or cash) necessary to bring Schwarzenegger back to the franchise.Arnold Schwarzenegger is preying on the follow-up films to 1987’s Predator. And after returning to acting, Schwarzenegger even joined the Expendables franchise. The Q&A in which Schwarzenegger slammed the Predator sequels was after a screening of Terminator: Genysis, one of several Terminator films Arnold has deigned to make. Schwarzenegger did not return for the 2018 Shane Black reboot. Unfortunately, that still hasn't come to pass. In the 2011 Collider interview, John Davis said he had been talking to Schwarzenegger about returning to the Predator franchise for a reboot. In the Reddit Q&A, Schwarzenegger mentioned poor director choice as one of the factors that makes sequels unsatisfying: "They sometimes want to do it really cheap and make as much money as possible, so they don't hire the right cast or the right director. Instead, A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child's Stephen Hopkins was tagged to helm the film. He moved on to directing Die Hard and The Hunt for Red October. Predator director John McTiernan also did not return for Predator 2. After saying no to Predator 2, Schwarzenegger went on to great box office success with films like T2: Judgement Day, True Lies, Jingle All the Way, and Junior (again with Danny DeVito). Both of the Governator's 1990 films, Total Recall and Kindergarten Cop, made more than $200 million total each. But some of the loss of box office inertia may have been the result of not casting Schwarzenegger. Some of that may have been due to the inevitable waning interest that would affect any property during the three years it took between releasing Predator and Predator 2. Predator 2, on the other hand, grossed half of what the first film made domestically. It far exceeded its revenue on DVD than in theaters by three or four times." "I get a big check every year on my net points off of the original Predator," he said. According to Davis, Predator is still making him ungodly amounts of money. Producers sought to bring back Schwarzenegger, but (per CBR) he opted to make Twins with Danny DeVito instead.Ĭonsidering how much Predator made, and how much less Predator 2 made, maybe Fox should have forked over the money. This time, the Predator interrupts a drug war in Los Angeles. Similar to the first film, Predator 2 follows a Predator who goes on safari amid some humans' internecine squabbles. Predator 2 was released in 1990, starring Danny Glover as LAPD officer Mike Harrigan. Predator grossed almost $60 million domestically in its first run, prompting 20th Century Fox to quickly order a sequel. Yet he didn't return for any of the film's sequels and spin-offs, or for Shane Black's 2018 reboot. Schwarzenegger's character, Major Alan "Dutch" Schafer, is one of few to make it out of the jungle alive. The film also stars Carl Weathers and Jesse Ventura, making it one of the few movies featuring multiple governors-to-be. Initially sent to save hostages in a Central American rainforest from guerilla fighters, the soldiers (and one lone guerilla fighter) become prey for the titular Predator. Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Predator tells the story of an elite group of paramilitary fighters stalked by an alien whose one joy in life is hunting other species for sport.
