With filming getting underway on The Predator, director Shane Black has shared a behind-the-scenes photo of the main cast that is locked, loaded, and ready to take on the Yautja.

Posted on Black's Twitter page, the photo features Sterling K. Brown, Trevante Rhodes, Boyd Holbrook, Jacob Tremblay, Olivia Munn, and Keegan-Michael Key dressed as their characters, with Shane Black also in the teaser that came with this message from the director:

"Partial cast... beautiful human beings, good people. Also, killers. Cameras roll today. Follow me on Twitter for updates. Wish us luck."

The Predator is scheduled for a February 9th, 2018 theatrical release from 20th Century Fox. Black (who co-starred as the wisecracking Rick Hawkins in the original Predator) directs The Predator from a screenplay he co-wrote with Fred Dekker (Night of the Creeps and The Monster Squad—the latter being a film he also co-wrote with Black).

In addition to the main cast pictured above (and below), Thomas Jane was previously reported to be in talks to play a role in The Predator.

In a recent interview with We Got This Covered, Holbrook discussed how The Predator is not a sequel and that it's not likely that we'll see Arnold Schwarzenegger reprising his role as Dutch. We'll keep Daily Dead readers updated on further details as they are revealed.
