Will Arnold Schwarzenegger Appear in Predator 4? The Governator Speaks!

Word hit the net last summer that Shane Black is scripting a brand new Predator movie with Fred Dekker (The Monster Squad, The Night of the Creeps), and last we heard Black is also set to direct. It’s been described as a sequel to the original, which could mean the return of Dutch. Maybe.
In a Reddit Q&A session that was held just a couple weeks back, Arnold Schwarzenegger was asked about the so-called Predator 4, and though he seemed excited about the idea of Shane Black making a sequel, he indicated that he hasn’t yet been approached about the project.
“I don’t know about Shane Black’s new Predator movie,” said Schwarzenegger. “He’s a great writer, and he wrote a lot of the great scenes in the first Predator movie, especially a lot of my scenes. He’s a very talented guy and a great director, so if he would do it, it would become a great movie if I’m in it or not. But I have not been asked.”
The beloved action star also spoke about the Predator franchise’s previous sequels, expressing that he wasn’t a fan and chalking it up to Hollywood greed.
“Sometimes studios do a great job with creating sequels, and sometimes they really screw it up bad,” he said. “It all has to do with greed. They sometimes want to do it really cheap, and make as much money as possible, so they don’t hire the right cast or the right director, because it might cost them an extra billion dollars. Then they want to rush it and have it come out next spring, even though it’s already fall, so how do you do all that? It’s stupid moves they make, and therefore they lose money doing that. So far no Predator, no matter which one they did after the first one, has really come out that I think was satisfactory to the audience.”
