25 Movie Sequels That Will Kick Ass In 2018
11. The Predator
Some might tell you that the original Predator shouldn't have ever inspired a franchise, but they're wrong and they really ought to look a little hard at the joys of the action series. Sure, the second film was less good than the original and the AVP movies deserve to be shot into the sun, but Predators was genuinely excellent and the idea of a stalking alien hunter is still ripe for further expansion.
And in Shane Black, Fox have picked exactly the right man for the job. He may be something of an acquired taste, but he knows how to channel his nostalgic fetish for old school action movies (as he has in everything he's made), and him coming back full-circle to one of the movies that started it all is rather fitting.
There's a brilliant cast here for Black to deal with, from Game of Thrones' Alfie Allen, to Moonlight's Trevante Rhodes and Logan's Boyd Holbrook, and hopefully Black will give them the right material so we genuinely care about them before the real star of the show turns up to kill them off.
