Some may argue that the first pic is Billy, but there is no head band. The last we saw of him was this:

 G. H. (Gman) Also in China, it will hurt that there is no big Hollywood name in it. For example, the Meg made 120 mil there because of Statham...

G. H. (Gman) well the more interesting question would be how does this fare in China? Will it be shown in cinemas there?

This movie is more hyped than Predators and it only is expected to make 30 mil? The last one made 24 (27 if we adjust with inflation) in it's opening weekend. Judging by the trailers and the several re-shoots I would not be surprised that this would have costed 70+ million, but it could make 3 times it's cost world wide being a minor success. 

Good question G. H. (Gman) . It seems noteworthy that we have not seen tons of trailers like with AC, thus keeping costs down. I get the feeling somehow that Shane Black is doing things right- fairly quiet yet giving just enough to pique interest.

But what's the budget? Is that a large enough opening to make back its expenses?

Yes, I'm feelin' it!

question wtf is that predator dog thing?

Great stuff! I'll share this up, thanks for sharing!

Great link Wwarez, that is a nice inventory of Predator weaponry. Yes, you're correct, the Predator's are a bit sloppy as far as evidence in the following films.

AVPR tried to address this with the Predator and his blue cleaning fluid but other parts of the movie were so bad that it is hard to bring up the reference.

Project Stargazer now faces this, below.

Good luck.

Ingeniero That zoom in reminds me a lot of a zoom in of the AC Xeno spine- you may have posted it. Interesting.

The expanded spear-like weapon the Predator uses is called the "Combistick", page 122 of the prequel novel. And the bladed-disk thrown by the Predator is controlled by the mask worn by the alien.

I'm still impressed with the city hunter. 

King Willie was most likely very impressed.

Here is a zoom of the back of the larger Predator, below.

In the prequel novel, Pappy Elliot interviews those that have encountered a Predator and lived.

I believe we have a great chance at Danny Glover because Los Angeles is mentioned repeatedly in the book and the characters are related to those that worked with Lieutenant Mike Harrigan. I kind of just factored in that Arnold would be in it.

Certainly having Cells become Harder as some kind of Armour is very interesting. ;)   Who knows it could be Both... if this is a Genetically Enhanced Predator where it has taken Traits from Many Organisms then anything is possible.

As long as it does-not sprout Wings and Fly ;)

Can this be meant not for cloaking a form of skin hardening?

I think while this movie seems to touch upon Genetic Altering/Evolution  and so taking Traits from a Chameleon fits well within this context.

I think it may be  a nice change, but i still think the Predators Technological Cloak is better.   I guess if Predators can combined a Genetic Cloaking Method with the Technology then this would be a great advantage especially as they would have some Cloaking Ability in Water now. (Chameleon Trait)

ignorantGuy ha ha! Nice one XD

Sorry to say it but this reminds me of the rage-inducing John Connor-inator:

That GIF is much better, thank you! I've added it to the OP.

In this other spot released by the official Italian 20th Century Fox YouTube channel (start at second 19), you can better see the skin changing.
I also created a gif:

I watched this for a while and do not see the change.

ignorantGuy It seems that Predator is Wanted Dead or Alive. Probably dead.

I just noticed the triangular laser is from the Predator's POV and the dots are what everyone else sees?

IRaptus Shoot to the heart and you're to blame/ Darling you give love a bad name.

Why is the poster specifically bringing attention to this Yautja's left breast?

@Chris If you consider stockings as body-armor, then yes it might be the case. But then why can heat be seen from the helmet/mask and the from the chest armor?

Also does this picture confirm that the Predators are warm-blooded (in a weird way...)?

My guess is the legs are covered by more armor, masking some heat exposure?

But wait, what generates heat in the left dreadlocks? And why isn't there heat in the legs?

Same! Love this poster haha

If I had to choose anyone from the Predator series for a cameo, it would be Danny Glover. Did you see him get mad at Gene Hackman in The Royal Tenenbaums? 

We need Danny Glover in THE PREDATOR.

I think I like Scar. The changes are very subtle. One thing that looks consistent are the eyes- self aware/intelligent. The eyes are very expressive while having a look that keeps one on his toes- but there seems to be a subtle look of wisdom and even a bit of sadness? 

 They are a great counter to the obvious looking threat of the mouth. 

Next to the Xeno, I don't recall a creature as captivating as the Predator.

Personally my favourite unmasked yautja design is City Hunter.

Where Jungle Hunter had a distinctly crab-like appearance and sound, City Hunter was more spider-like. Perhaps it is the larger cranial with colouring not to dissimilar to a wolf spider, and the thinner more fang-like mandibles?

On film City Hunter had some very menacing scenes....and some not so....but when its element it was fearsome design that gave the impression of a seasoned hunter.

LA was definitely not this hunter's first rodeo.

Looks amazing! Great attention to detail. And the eyes look cold and menacing but show intelligence

Mr Glover, are you interested in a cameo shot in the new 2018 Predator movie?

Danny Glover:

The detail is stunning. Hopefully the inner mouth will be more "wet" in the final cut.

IDK why the OP text is dark. Here it is again:

I have read that re shoots were done to make the last scene at night, but there could be more perhaps?

It seems Arny was in proximity to where the re shoots took place in Canada at the time. Wouldn’t a cameo be great?

Word on the street is Danny Glover was offered a cameo slot but he reportedly stated that he “was too old for this sh%t” :D
