Holbrook To ‘Beef Up’ For The Predator

One thing about Predator was that its cast was pretty jacked up, which is how it should have been.  Since Boyd Holbrook is now in the lead, does that mean the new cast will be ‘jacked down’?  In an interview with CinemaBlend, director Shane Black has been talking about this.

“You know, at some point we might beef up Mr. Holbrook a little bit, give him a physical workout schedule. That’s what we all had to do on the first Predator! We had to become a slightly more exaggerated, beefy version of ourselves. It’s a shame — schedules just could not allow us to proceed in any way that met our start date that we insisted on with Benicio. But we do have this wonderful actor! That’s the good news.”

Black also says that news on the rest of the team for the new movie will come soon;

“[Boyd Holbrook] is a guy who is fantastic, and we’re gonna beef up the rest of the cast, and make announcements very soon about the members of this team that we’re setting up. And it’s all people I really want, and want to work with. It’s going to be a very exciting cast.”
