            Moonlight is increasingly making best of lists as we move on at the start of 2017, and one of the stars is accumulating more high profile projects by the day. According to THR, Trevante Rhodes has signed on to star The Predator alongside Boyd Holbrook and Olivia Munn.

            The reboot is set to be directed by Shane Black (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Iron Man 3) and he’s said in previous interviews that the film will be “scary, funny and wondrous”. I haven’t seen Moonlight yet so its hard for me to judge his casting but the rest of the cast just seems average to me. Holbrook has a big role on the horizon as he’s playing the villain in Logan, though Munn has been given chances to shine and the only thing I’ve ever liked her in was The Newsroom. Rhodes is set to play the best friend of Holbrook’s character and other than knowing that they will play ex-Marines that battle the titular character, there isn’t much known about the story.

            Rhodes is currently filming Horse Soldiers alongside Chris Hemsworth and Michael Shannon and also has a role in Terrence Malick’s upcoming Song to Song that we previewed on the site just a few days ago. The Predator is set to be released everywhere on February 9^th, 2018.
