The Hollywood Reporter has just learned that Primetime Emmy winner Sterling K. Brown has entered talks with 20th Century Fox to join the cast of Shane Black's upcoming reboot/sequel of The Predator.

He joins a cast headlined by Boyd Holbrook (Logan), who will star as an ex-Marine. The supporting players consist of Trevante Rhodes (Moonlight), Keegan-Michael Key (Keanu), and Olivia Munn (X-Men: Apocalypse). Black is directing with a script he co-wrote with Fred Dekker (Edge).

Details on Brown's role were fairly vague, but if his deal closes, he'll portray a government agent that will throw Holbrook's character in jail at the start of the picture, but then later recruit him when the Predators strike. Both Rhodes & Key will also play ex-Marines, while Munn will be playing a scientist.

Brown currently stars on the hit NBC family drama series This Is Us and is probably best known to audiences for his Emmy-winning performance last year as Christopher Darden on The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story. His numerous other credits include Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, Army Wives, Person of Interest, Our Idiot Brother, and Supernatural. He can be seen next in the biopic Marshall and in Marvel's Black Panther.

@NoMeaning45 - Is that green arrow?

@TheSpectre12 - Smallville version, yep

@NoMeaning45 - Loved that show, even with its silliness...

NoMeaning45 - 1/19/2017, 5:56 PM

I thought 2016 was a breakout year for Brown, but it looks like 2018 might top that

NoMeaning45 - 1/19/2017, 5:57 PM

Got to say, this cast is shaping up to be really nice.

If Boyd plays his character like he we saw him in the Logan trailer today, I'm on board

All that talent and they'll kill the brother off.

This guy's the new Samuel L Jackson who took Morgan Freeman's spot as the black guy hollywood isn't afraid of anymore.

RancidBane - 1/19/2017, 6:03 PM

This dude is snatching roles left and right good for him!
He is still my pick for Green Lantern or Black Manta.

Highball - 1/19/2017, 6:08 PM

@RancidBane - yeah, I totally approve of him for John Stewart! Plus the guy wants in on it. Give him the freakin'role!

Jimbob84 - 1/19/2017, 6:29 PM

@RancidBane - I'm pulling for Green Lantern.

Jimbob84 - 1/19/2017, 6:28 PM

I hope he's casted as John Stewart. He could play that role perfectly IMO. Sterling has a lot of heart which he has shown over and over again on This Is Us.
