Filming has begun on Shane Black’s The Predator<\/em> <\/strong>this week but names are still being added to the cast.<\/p>\n

THR<\/a> reports that Chuck<\/em><\/strong> and The Handmaid’s Tale<\/em><\/strong> star Yvonne Strahovski\u00a0is in final negotiations to join the latest chapter in the alien monster saga, joining an impressive roster that includes Boyd Holbrook (Logan<\/em><\/strong>), Olivia Munn (X-Men: Apocalypse<\/em><\/strong>), Keegan-Michael Key (Keanu<\/em><\/strong>), Sterling K Brown (The People Vs OJ Simpson<\/em><\/strong>), Trevante Rhodes (Moonlight<\/em><\/strong>), Jacob Tremblay (Room<\/em><\/strong>) and Thomas Jane (The Mist<\/em><\/strong>).<\/p>\n

Strahovski\u00a0“will play the mother to Tremblay, a troubled boy who is accidentally drawn into the conflict with the fierce alien creatures by his father \u2014 her ex-husband \u2014 played by Holbrook.”<\/p>\n

Her casting follows the recent news<\/a> that Game Of Thrones<\/em><\/strong> star Alfie Allen had joined the movie, as “an ex-Marine who teams with several other outsiders, including one played by Holbrook, to stop the human-hunting creatures in a setting that hasn\u2019t yet been seen in a Predator<\/em><\/strong> movie: suburbia.”<\/p>\n

A couple of things to note: the Alfie Allen THR report does seem to confirm the long-rumoured suburbia setting, and that both reports mention “creatures,” plural. Which is exciting.<\/p>\n

Black tweeted a picture of some of his cast in costume earlier this week, check it out…<\/p>\n
