You sure it isn't a live action Space Ghost remake?

Based on this initial teaser, I noticed that there were not any recognizable actors, which was before I looked up to see who was in this. At least with the last movie in the franchise you had people you would recognize even if their character's time in the movie was short (Danny Trejo and Laurence Fishburne) or if the actor was not exactly someone who you would buy being the "tough guy" archetype (Adrian Brody). I am surprise that in this current climate that Michelle Rodriguez was not cast as the lead to have a "strong female character" for the main role. Maybe there will be a twist in that the Predator is a female.
:thinking:

One comment I noticed on the teaser vid is that why not have a Predator movie that brings back Arnold Schwarzenegger as an old and grizzle Dutch. You could even bring back Danny Glover and have their two characters team up as a Predator tries to claim both of them as trophies.

I still think Predators was written so that you weren't supposed to know it was a Predator movie. You're supposed to think it's like that Battle Royale with Steve Austin, and then when they see the sky and they're in space and then OH SHIT IT'S REALLY A PREDATOR MOVIE.

Looks like shit, tbh. Predators failed mainly cause that MC had to tell everyone how to do their fucking job, while these others did sweet fuckall before being killed.
When you put so many interesting stereotypes into a movie and they all fall flat while that one MC dude knows best, it just comes across as lackluster and stupid.

This movie now looks like a blatant, terrible cashgrab that's going to make no sense at all.

Even the design for the Predator itself looks meh.

Thanks for adding goofy eyebrows and a pig's nose.

The premise is that a Predator already on Earth started a Halloween costume company to turn kids into hybrids? Am I understanding this trailer correctly?
Maybe someone got hold of some pieces of Predator Suit somehow and send that to someone for some reason and then the kid opened the box and decided "That stuff would make for awesome toys and a costume!" switches it on somehow and that attracts more Predators or something.
Whatever that plotpoint will be, it's going to be really fucking dumb.

The son, who reportedly is autistic, accidentally brings the Predators to Earth. That's not even half of it:

“From the outer reaches of space to the small-town streets of suburbia, the hunt comes home in Shane Black’s explosive reinvention of the Predator series. Now, the universe’s most lethal hunters are stronger, smarter and deadlier than ever before, having genetically upgraded themselves with DNA from other species. When a young boy accidentally triggers their return to Earth, only a ragtag crew of ex-soldiers and a disgruntled science teacher can prevent the end of the human race.”

Other then stealing unused plot points from Predators, the plot of The Predator sounds very half assed and unimaginative.

I don't know why the MCs in these Predator movies are always badass soldierdudes, other than the fact that was how the first movie went. Even the Alien franchise understood you have to mix up the character dynamics. It gets boring when every sci fi movie is a bunch of Call of Duty Men shooting aliens.

The fact one character is a high school teacher is interesting. If you're gonna put the Predator in suburbia, why not have all the main characters be normies? Maybe have one guy who was in the Marines or some shit to explain why he knows how to use guns but everyone else is just like soccer moms and office drones. Go all out with your setting.

At least the main character Predator 2 was a cop who was initially dealing with gang warfare and mysterious murders in the city before having to deal with an extraterrestrial hunter.
