Thomas Jane Could Star in Shane Black’s ‘Predator’

While we don’t know a whole lot about Shane Black’s upcoming return to the “Predator” series, there’s one thing that we can definitively say about it: it’s shaping up to have a pretty eclectic group of actors.

At first it seemed like Benicio Del Toro was set to join the project; however, he suddenly backed out last year.  It was an unfortunate turn, but with his departure we got Boyd Holbrook who has done an excellent job on “Narcos.”  Shortly after we then learned that Olivia Munn and Keegan-Michael Key had joined the cast.  But with the departure of Del Toro the film seems to be missing that rough grizzled element.  Well that might soon be remedied according to a report by THR.

It seems that Thomas Jane (aka The Punisher) might be up for a role in the new “Predator” film.  There’s no word on who Jane might be playing, but here’s hoping we get to see him punish a Predator or two.

Shane Black’s new take on the “Predator” series will bring the infamous hunter to a suburban environment.  It’ll be interesting to see who else rounds out the cast.  I mean, let’s not forget that Arnold Schwarzenegger was supposed to meet up with Shane Black at some point.  Perhaps we might hear more about that soon.
