Black also confirmed the film will be rated R, and used some colorful language to do so.

Black, co-wrote the script with Fred Dekker for what's officially being billed as the fourth installment of the franchise after 1987's Predator, 1990's Predator 2 and 2010's Predators (sorry, Alien vs. Predator). The film will see the brutal alien hunter head to the suburbs, with other plot details being kept under wraps.

Fox will release The Predator on Feb. 9, 2018

And, just to be clear... PG-13 is for pussies. Spines bleed... a lot. — Shane Black (@BonafideBlack) February 18, 2017
