Iron Man 3 director Shane Black returns to Predator

Last summer's Iron Man 3 was arguably the franchise's best installment to date! Director Shane Black flipped the tin man on his head in the wake of Avengers Assemble, and gave cinemagoers a memorable blockbuster ride with a twist.

With Shane Black back in the spotlight it's apt he's reportedly returning to the Predator franchise. Black played Hawkins and delivered the movie's most salacious dialogue, which I won't reprint here. He's slated to direct a sequel and not a reboot at Twentieth Century Fox.

Given the critical and commercial success of Iron Man 3 there's no reason why the alien hunter can't benefit from Black's inventiveness.

Has Predator had its day? Let me know in the comments below.
