The Predator: What Does The Ending Really Mean?

2. The Predator Killer

The biggest take away from the film's ending is that humanity now has the means to defend itself from the Predator hunters. The elegantly named Predator Killer is essentially a magical gauntlet that equips the wearer with a nano-technology Predator suit designed for killing its own kind. And McKenna claims it as his own at the end of the movie setting up him returning as the more bad-ass hero next time.

But there's an opportunity here too. Boyd Holbrook is not a terrible actor by any means, but he is no leading man. Not here and not in anything like this. And while that sequel sting seems to make him integral, the fact that Arnold Schwarzenegger only turned down a cameo because he wanted a more substantial role suggests there could be a chance of a dream reunion.

Arnie might be older now, but he's no less fitting of a Predator Killer title and the new armour would allow for him to be hidden in the action sequences. And Arnie coming full circle and returning to fight back and save the Earth would be absolutely incredible.
