4. Keegan-Michael Key - The Predator

The Role: Little is known beyond him teaming up with protagonist Quinn McKenna (Boyd Holbrook) to take on the titular alien.

Why It's Unexpected: Keegan-Michael Key isn't exactly known for his action movie roles, so this is definitely an against-type part for the comedian, especially as publicity stills show him totting a gun and looking ready for combat (rather than being a regular civilian as expected).

Will It Work?: Shane Black is an expert at melding violent action and humour, so regardless of whether or not Key is in fact the comic relief, there's little reason to be worried.
