PREDATOR: BADLANDS Director Hints at Arnold Schwarzenegger's Possible Return After Meeting — GeekTyrant
Could Arnold Schwarzenegger be gearing up for a return as Dutch in the Predator franchise? If director Dan Trachtenberg has his way, the answer might be yes. During Friday's Predator: Badlands panel at Comic-Con, Trachtenberg teased the Hall H crowd, revealing he recently had breakfast with the original Predator himself, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and that the meeting might lead to something big. 'I got to meet him for breakfast and cook up stuff for that guy,' Trachtenberg said, hinting at a potential return for Dutch. Schwarzenegger first brought Dutch to life in John McTiernan's 1987 sci-fi action classic Predator , where his elite team faced off against the ultimate alien hunter in the jungles of Central America. Since then, the franchise has exploded into nine films including two crossovers with Alien , and the upcoming Predator: Badlands . Despite the franchise's long history, Schwarzenegger has never returned to play Dutch, until now, sort of. Last month, fans got a surprise when the franchise's first animated entry, Predator: Killer of Killers , dropped. Trachtenberg also revealed a new epilogue scene, now streaming on Hulu, that features Dutch alongside Danny Glover's Lt. Mike Harrigan from Predator 2 and Amber Midthunder's Naru from Prey. The scene depicts all three characters in sleep chambers being collected by Predator warriors. The director confirmed that he needed Schwarzenegger's blessing to pull this off: 'I got his approval to use his likeness in that scene,' he said, adding that the breakfast meeting made it possible. Trachtenberg has been instrumental in breathing new life into the franchise, having previously helmed Prey and the animated Killer of Killers . With Badlands marking his third major outing, he seems committed to pushing the universe forward, and possibly bringing its most iconic character along for the ride. Predator: Badlands stars Elle Fanning as Thia, a character who forms an unexpected alliance with a young Predator who arrives on the deadliest planet in the universe to hunt the deadliest creature. It's a cool concept, but the idea of Dutch returning in some capacity? That's the kind of move that could send fans into overdrive. If Trachtenberg really is 'cooking up stuff' for Schwarzenegger, it raises some big questions, but it would have to be an animated project. We'll have to wait and see, but one thing's clear, Trachtenberg isn't done surprising us, and Dutch might not be finished fighting predators yet. Predator: Badlands hits theaters on November 7. Would you want to see Arnold back in live-action? And if so, how do you think Dutch should fit into the modern Predator saga?

Fans dive into San Diego Comic-Con despite drop in celebrity panels
By Rollo Ross and Danielle Broadway Fans dive into San Diego Comic-Con despite drop in celebrity panels SAN DIEGO, - This year's Comic-Con may not be featuring as much star power as usual, but attendees dressed up for opening day on Thursday were just as pumped as ever to be there. Richard Cao, 38, from San Diego, said he has been preparing for a long time, getting into shape so he can go as bare-chested Inosuke Hashibira, a character from the anime series 'Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba'. "I lost about 30 pounds over six months, that's just the physical, I guess, investment I made," Cao said. This year's festivities at the San Diego Convention Center will not have the usual Hall H major A-list celebrity panels, which typically discuss popular movie franchises from the likes of Marvel and DC Studios. But highlights will include "Star Wars" creator George Lucas making his San Diego Comic-Con debut and Disney's "Tron: Ares" and "Predator: Badlands" panels. There will also be a panel for the upcoming film "Project Hail Mary" starring Ryan Gosling, and the world premiere of the 'King of the Hill' revival and a panel with show co-creators Mike Judge and Greg Daniels. It is also the first year to include a two-day music festival called Crunchyroll Anime FanFest, hosted by Crunchyroll, an American subscription-based anime streaming service owned by Sony Group Corporation. The festival will feature anime music from popular titles like "Jujutsu Kaisen." Crunchyroll has over 17 million subscribers globally. Although hotel and overall travel prices continue to rise for those out of town, fans say they weren't deterred. "It's totally worth it," said Sophia Blanco, 39, from New York City who paid "a couple of thousands" for her entire trip. "You go on vacation, you do anything, you're spending money. So, just spend money on what you enjoy, no matter what you do," she added. Sony Group Corp Walt Disney Co This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.
