It’s been a long time since Arnold Schwarzenegger last appeared in the Predator franchise, and there is now a possibility of seeing him in the next Predator movie as Major Dutch Schaefer. Schwarzenegger’s Dutch was last seen in Predator: Killer of Killers alongside Amber Midthunder‘s Naru from Prey and Danny Glover’s Mike Harrigan from Predator 2 on Yautja Prime.
During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Schwarzenegger confirmed that he is working on sequels to Predator, Conan, and Commando. He is looking forward to reading the scripts before moving ahead with the projects.
Schwarzenegger said, “I’m looking forward to seeing the scripts because that’s where the action is, you know, what’s on the pages, not on the stage. So I just wait for the scripts to get perfected, and then we go and start shooting those things.”
Since the first Predator movie was released, 20th Century Fox (now 20th Century Studios) has wanted Schwarzenegger to return as Dutch. However, he turned down chances to appear in Predator 2, Predators, and The Predator.
The first sign that Dutch could return came in the animated movie Predator: Killer of Killers. A bonus scene released after the movie premiered on Hulu showed that Dutch was being kept alive in a special frozen state on the Predator homeworld.
During the premiere of Predator: Badlands, producer Ben Rosenblatt told Deadline that director Dan Trachtenberg and Schwarzenegger “have met a couple of times now” to discuss the Predator franchise.
Rosenblatt also said that bringing Schwarzenegger back would be a dream for the franchise. He said, “Obviously, the holy grail of Predator movies would be getting Arnold back in there. And it’s always been something in the back of our minds that it would be really great to see him come back to this franchise that he’s made iconic, and that’s made him iconic.”
