The cast of Predators, the new Predator movie directed by Nimrod Antal and produced by Robert Rodriguez, has been announced:
– Royce (Adrien Brody): main character, a Steve McQueen-type
– Cuchillo (Danny Trejo): a Mexican enforcer from a drug cartel who has twin uzi strapped to his back
– Nikolai (Oleg Taktarov): a frightening, Russian bear-of-a-man, armed with a four barrel, gas powered, rotary machine gun
– Isabelle (Alice Braga): a tough-as-nails woman armed with a sniper rifle and speaks French
– Stans (Walton Goggins): A prisoner with a shaved head, a scorpion tattoo on his neck and armed with a prison-made knife
– Mombassa (Mahershalalhashbaz Ali): An African member of the Sierra Leon death squad who’s not afraid to die
– Hanso (Louiz Ozawa): a bad-ass Japanese Yakuza enforcer
– Edwin (Topher Grace): a small unassuming man who is formerly one of FBI’s most wanted
Adrien Brody (The Pianist) is a surprising choice as the lead character of Predators. I suppose that this new Predator movie won’t be as manly as the first film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. But this ensemble cast is still quite appealing and they could deliver a great Predators movie. Let’s knock on wood for that!
