A massive Predator 4 / The Predator plot rumor / leak has surfaced online today and if proven true, could turn out to be one hell of a spoiler. Although without an officially released plot synopsis to go by yet, the chances of this breakdown being true are still 50/50. Regardless, we urge readers to take the following with a grain of salt until we hear otherwise.
According to a fresh post by SplashReport, one of their readers were privileged with access to The Predator script, or were close enough to someone who was. That reader essentially divulged the film's plot outline as well as names and roles of key cast members. Certain aspects of the plot fall inline with what we've learned so far, but certain aspects are completely new. Enjoy:

If I had to hazard a guess, I would say they're close to on the money. It sounds like there are indeed two Predators but one is closer to that of the Super Predators of Robert Rodriguez' Predators film, except instead of a naturally superior race, this Predator is a genetically modified hybrid of sorts. What is this Predator spliced with? How will it react to the other Predator? Our guess is they won't be too friendly with each other.
The plot sounds more and more like the outline for the PS2 title Predator: Concrete Jungle with every update - and we are A-OK at with that! It sounds like Shane Black will indeed bring us a very fresh take on the Predator. We can't wait to learn more!
