Director Shane Black has taken to Twitter this morning, following reports yesterday by The Hollywood Reporter, after they divulged new plot details concern the upcoming Predator 4 film "The Predator". In their report, THR announced the casting of Olivia Munn and that she would play a scientist in the film, opposite Boyd Holbrook, who would be playing a Special Forces Commando. What peaked our curiosity however, was the statement that The Predator would take place in Suburbia - something that did not immediately sit well with fans.
Despite THR having a relatively solid track record when it comes to scoops, director Shane Black has seemingly confirmed that the statement about Predator 4 taking place in the suburbs, is simply not true:
He makes no mention about Olivia Munn's casting, her character, or the reveal of Boyd Holbrook's character. So, we can assume those details remain accurate for now.
To the relief of many Predator fans, it does not look like The Predator will be taking place in the suburbs after all.
