Arnold Schwarzenegger Says He May Be Back for the Next ‘Predator’

Get a new look at Spider-Noir in action. Could another in-development Star Wars movie be on the chopping block? Plus, what’s coming on the season finale of Primal. Spoilers get!

Predator/Commando

During a recent interview with TheArnoldFans, Arnold Schwarzenegger confirmed he’s in talks to appear in new films for Predator and Commando, alongside the recent movement on King Conan.

They did an additional Predator and the director (Dan Trachtenberg) has been doing a great job of that. Now, he wants me to be in the next Predator. We’ve talked about it. As a matter of fact, FOX studios has kind of rediscovered “Arnold”. They’ve come to me and said, ‘We want you to do Predator, we just got a script for you to do Commando 2’. They just hired a fantastic writer/director who did Tom Cruise’s last four movies. They just hired him (Christopher McQuarrie) to write and direct King Conan. Now, what they do is that they write the part. They don’t write them like I’m forty years old, you write it to be age-appropriate. I’ll still go in there and kick some ass but it will be different. With King Conan, its a great old story that Conan was forty years as King and now he gets forced out of the kingdom and there’s conflict, of course, but somehow he comes back and there’s all kinds of madness, violence, magic and creatures and stuff like that. And now, of course, there’s all kinds of special effects. The studio has plenty of money to make those movies really big so i’m looking forward to all of those projects.

The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum

According to a new rumor from insider @DanielRPK (via World of Reel), Anya Taylor-Joy is in talks to join the cast of The Hunt for Gollum in a currently undisclosed role.

Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi

On the latest episode of The Hot Mic podcast (via World of Reel), host Jeff Sneider alleged James Mangold’s Star Wars movie set 25,000 years in the past is no longer moving forward at Disney and Lucasfilm.

Ted

According to Seth MacFarlane in a recent interview with The Wrap, there is “no plan that he’s heard of” for a third season of Ted due to the show’s high production costs.

What I kept hearing [from Peacock and Universal] was, ‘Listen, the show is really expensive to produce and there’s no way to do it at a lower cost. So I said, ‘All right, I hear you loud and clear.’ So I wrote the last scene with Max [Burkholder] walking into a gym, presumably coming out as Mark Wahlberg in the first Ted film. So [showrunners] Brad Walsh and Paul Corrigan and I kind of painted ourselves into a corner. Is there a way to do it? There’s always a way to do anything. But at the moment, it might take some narrative acrobatics. There’s no plan that I’ve heard of at the moment to do Season 3.

Spider-Noir
