THR reveals that Rhodes has joined Shane Black‘s “The Predator.” He’ll be joining Boyd Holbrook and Olivia Munn in the movie that will update the franchise you love, now headed to the suburbs for its latest adventure, which is certainly an intriguing twist. Other than that nugget, most other details about the movie are being kept under strict lock and key, except that Holbrook and Rhodes will be playing ex-Marine buds.
Filming on the reboot-quel will get under very soon, which probably means more casting to come. “The Predator” arrives on February 9, 2018.
