Keegan-Michael Key, Trevante Rhodes join ‘The Predator’
A 2018 reboot of the iconic “Predator” franchise has added Trevante Rhodes of ' Moonlight' and Keegan-Michael Key of ' Key & Peele' to its growing ranks.
Shane Black's comeback tour looks to continue with ' The Predator', as one of the 80s and 90s' most sought- after writers now directs the monster movie franchise's latest iteration.
Filmed just as his writing career was taking off, Black even co-starred in 1987's original “Predator” alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger, Carl Weathers, Jesse Ventura and others.
Here he operates behind the camera, with Keegan-Michael Key and Trevante Rhodes added to the cast in recent days.
Rhodes experienced a breakthrough year in 2016, co- starring in awards season favourite ' Moonlight' and appearing in an episode of TV hit ' Westworld'.
Key, meanwhile, went from the final series of co- created comedy sketch show ' Key and Peele' to animated features ' Hotel Transylvania 2' and ' The Angry Birds Movie', live action films ' Keanu' and ' Why Him?', and TV cartoons ' BoJack Horseman' and 'Archer', but there's no word on whether he would be used in a comedy capacity when it comes to Black's vision for ' The Predator'.
Prior to ' The Predator', Black wrote and directed 2016 Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe movie ' The Nice Guys' as well as 2013's ' Iron Man 3' and 2005 Robert Downey Jr. and Val Kilmer success ' Kiss Kiss Bang Bang'.
