Prior to The Predator's third act re-shoots during the early months of 2018, the film was going to feature two Emissary Predators, who would have worked alongside the Loonies in combating the Upgrade Predator. Many fans who followed us throughout The Predator's production will recall set photos leaking which showed Predators in army fatigues, riding tanks with some of the Loonies' cast. Unfortunately, this entire angle of the story was completely removed.
Thankfully however, one of the suit actors, Kyle Strauts has taken to Instagram lately to share some photos from his time on set and give us a clearer look at what these Emissary Predators would have looked like! Check them out:
