Actress Olivia Munn ("Iron Man 2," "X-Men: Apocalypse") is also in talks to join the cast of "The Predator." Munn will reportedly play a scientist in the upcoming movie.

It was also revealed that "The Predator" will not be "complete reboot." Black said that the first "Predator" movie, which aired in 1987, will be a part of the upcoming film's storyline. According to the director, "I think it has to stand on its own two feet, but our goal is to make sure it acknowledges that, yeah, it is 30 years later in the continuity of the story. In other words, Dutch Schaefer's patrol, which was attacked and largely slaughtered, happened 30 years ago in the context of the story. It's referenced, it's part of the mythology."
