Shane Black’s The Predator: 10 Critical Reactions You Need To See

2. It Sets Up A Sequel

A lot of reviews mention that The Predator includes a bit of sequel setup, but because this is a spoiler-free discussion, the exact nature of the scene(s) in question wasn't mentioned.

But will we actually get a sequel? That's hard to say. If the film performs well at the box-office, there's always a chance. By teasing a sequel, it sounds like Fox is leaving the door open anyway, just in case they decide to continue. Perhaps they're hoping that The Predator's new emphasis on comedy will reignite interest in the property and lead to more movies after this one.

That being said, with Disney acquiring Fox's film assets in a merger that was recently approved, it's hard to see the former carrying on with such an adult-focused movie series.

Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
