Predator (Shane Black sequel)


The NZA

Recommended Posts

An alternate ending to 'The Predator (2018)' was filmed which would've revealed Ripley or Newt as the Predator Killer, after they failed to get Arnold



Schwarzenegger's Dutch cameo would have been the final scene of the movie, with a helicopter appearing after the heroes have defeated the Upgrade Predator. McKenna (Boyd Holbrook), Bracket (Olivia Munn), and Rory (Jacob Tremblay) the chopper, with none other than Dutch Schaeffer stepping out. He tells them to hop onboard, with Rory asking if he should climb on as well. Dutch smiles and replies, "Especially you." So, it was a tiny cameo that teased the Dutch's expanded role in a Predator sequel, in addition to implying Rory would figure into the military's plan to fight an impending Predator invasion of earth.

 

At the conclusion of the 2018 film "The Predator" written by Shane Black and Fred Dekker (and directed by Black), fans were introduced to a new piece of Predator technology referred to as the "Predator Killer". Similar to something one might see in an Iron Man film, this wearable armored suit could seemingly give humanity a fighting chance if there ever was a Predator invasion on Earth.



Fan reaction was ultimately mixed towards the suit, so while it came as no surprise that two other alternate endings were filmed for The Predator, the fan community was taken aback by the revelation that these other endings featured the return of beloved established characters from the Alien franchise: Newt and Ripley – both played by stunt performer and actress Breanna Watkins!

Recently, we had the pleasure of speaking to Breanna about her involvement not just with these mysterious alternate endings, but about her dual profession in general.

While Watkins could not reveal everything about her stint as Rebecca "Newt" Jorden or her doubling of Ellen Ripley (or perhaps the clone Ripley-8), she was gracious enough to take some time out of her very busy schedule to answer what she could… and give Alien vs. Predator Galaxy a little more insight into these fascinating alternate conclusions!

 

absolutely bonkers, i was told this film was already a mess as it was
