THE PREDATOR, director Shane Black's sequel to the 1987 classic PREDATOR, is currently in production in Vancouver, and while actor Augusto Aguilera wasn't on set in time for the cast photo Black shared on the first day of filming last month, it has been announced that he is in the film.

It has also been revealed that the casting of Aguilera marks the completion of the main cast, he is "the final piece of the alien-hunter team". So here's the lineup: Boyd Holbrook, Jacob Tremblay, Olivia Munn, Keegan-Michael Key, Yvonne Strahovski, Sterling K. Brown, Trevante Rhodes, Alfie Allen, Thomas Jane, and Augusto Aguilera.

They are joined by 6'9" actor Kyle Strauts, who is playing at least one of the film's multiple Predators.

Details on THE PREDATOR, which Black has written with his THE MONSTER SQUAD collaborator Fred Dekker, are being kept under wraps. We do know that several of the characters are ex-Marines, including Holbrook's. Strahovski is playing Holbrook's ex-wife, with Tremblay as their autistic son. Brown's character is a government agent and Munn's a scientist.

THE PREDATOR is set to reach theatres on February 9, 2018.
