‘Iron Man 3’ Director Shane Black To Helm ‘Predator’ Reboot UPDATE: Not A Reboot!

UPDATE: While initial reports said that Black’s Predator film would be a reboot, Black says otherwise.

Speaking with Collider, Black said “Why start over, when you’ve all this rich mythology yet to mine?” He went on, stating that he wasn’t generally a fan of reboots, but could “really get behind inventive sequels” and that he likes “the idea of expanding and exploring the existing Predator mythology, rather than hitting the restart button.”

I’m definitely a fan of this idea, rather than a reboot of the entire franchise, though I still don’t know how I feel about Black in the driver’s seat.

Head below for the original post, and let us know what you think of the news!

Briefly: Because everyone loved Iron Man 3 so much, Fox has turned to its writer/director Shane Black to helm a Predator reboot.

Yep, reboot. So it looks like 2010’s Predators didn’t count (it was okay).

Black’s Monster Squad co-writer Fred Dekker is set to write the script, and one of the original film’s producers, John Davis, will also produce the reboot.

No other info on the project has been revealed as of yet, but we’ll be sure to fill you in as soon as we hear more! Are you down for a Predator reboot? Or did you like where things were going with Predators? Sound out below!
