Arnold Schwarzenegger reveals he rejected cameo in Shane Black’s The Predator

April 7, 2017 by Gary Collinson

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s upcoming slate has took a bit of a hammering this past week or so, what with Paramount letting his option on a Terminator Genisys sequel lapse, the plug being pulled on The Legend of Conan, and the action icon stating he won’t appear in The Expendables 4 unless Sylvester Stallone is on board.

Well, it seems we can also officially rule out a potential cameo in next year’s The Predator, with Arnie revealing to Yahoo! Movies that he did meet with director Shane Black about a return as Dutch, but rejected the opportunity.

“They asked me, and I read it, and I didn’t like it — whatever they offered,” said Arnold. “So I’m not going to do that, no. Except if there’s a chance that they rewrite it, or make it a more significant role. But the way it is now, no, I won’t do that.”

Shane Black also took to Twitter to confirm Schwarzenegger’s comments:

@iamJermaineP @MPredator24 Me too… I spoke with him, I think it was that he didn't have enough to do. Enough presence in the film.

— Shane Black (@BonafideBlack) April 6, 2017

According to Alien vs. Predator Galaxy, Dutch would have appeared right at the end of the film to deliver a few short lines in a brief cameo, which would have served to set up a potential sequel.

Are you disappointed that we won’t get to see Arnold back as Dutch in The Predator? Let us know in the thoughts below…

The Predator is currently set for a February 9th, 2018 release and features a cast that includes Boyd Holbrook (Logan), Trevante Rhodes (Moonlight), Thomas Jane (The Punisher), Augusto Aguilera (The Fifth Man), Jacob Tremblay (Room) Sterling K. Brown (This is Us, The People v. O.J. Simpson), Keegan-Michael Key (Key & Peele), Olivia Munn (X-Men: Apocalypse), Alfie Allen (Game of Thrones), Yvonne Strahovski (Chuck), Edward James Olmos (Battlestar Galactica) and Jake Busey (From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series).
