Director Shane Black is cite an experience withIron Man 3when it comes to his access to rebootingThe Predatorfranchise . Black , of row , has had a storied history in Hollywood , dating back to 1987 when he wrote the scripts to the blockbusterLethal Weaponand cult hitMonster Squad . That same year , the screenwriter made his act entry , in a small but memorable role opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger inPredator .

Thirty - one old age after the release ofPredator , Black has wandered back into the cinematic jungle , but this time as co - screenwriter and director ofThe Predator , which is being placard as a sequel to the original cinema .

During output , Collidertalked with Black about returning to the franchise , and just published the audience , which let in his thoughts about his journey in thePredatoruniverse come full band . And while Black admits that he has n’t given that   concept much thought to escort , he believes he will once audiences see the film . One affair he appear to hopeThe Predatorwill avoid is the rebound that came when he was at the helm onIron Man 3 . He says :

I suppose , once it ’s over and I have clock time to reflect back it ’ll feel satisfy that we ’ve continued the custom , take for granted we pull it off and mass accept what we ’ve done . I still get the decapitation detest postal service from   Iron Man 3   because we changed something and I interpret that . I think that we ’re not changing what the sense of   The Predator   is , I think we ’re expanding on what ’s there .

Fans of bothIron Man 3and thePredatorfranchise can credibly take a couple things forth from Black ’s observance . For one , it sounds like the writer - director is remain status quo as far as respect the originalPredator , and not reinvent the wheel and pulling off any vast surprises like he did withIron Man 3 .

The biggest surprisal – if not consummate shock – to fans of theIron Mancomics was how the clip - honour baddie The Mandarin was revealed to be a phony character diddle by an doer named Trevor Slattery ( Ben Kingsley ) . A subsequent Marvel One Shot short picture star Kingsley attempted to soothe rooter ' ill - will   with the Trevor controversy by creating a scenario with the substantial Mandarin , but   withno more One Shotsor anotherIron Mansolomovie   on the horizon , the thoughts of what might have been will likely have to endure in fans ' imaginations .

While Black did n’t specifically reference the dither over Trevor   in hisColliderinterview , chances are pretty good that that ’s what he ’s hinting at .   As far asThe Predatoris concerned , fan will find out in about four months if Black will make well on his promise to   expand thePredatorstory rather than seek to reinvent it – and avoid more hatred mail in the process .
