Shane Black is working on a Predator sequel, not a reboot.

The Iron Man 3 director has said that he does not see the need to begin from scratch on the 20th Century Fox sci-fi action property.

"As far as [writer Fred Dekker] and I are concerned anyway," Black told Collider.

"Why start over, when you've all this rich mythology yet to mine?"

He added that he prefers "inventive sequels" to reboots, and likes "the idea of expanding and exploring the existing Predator mythology, rather than hitting the restart button".

John Davis - who served as a producer on the original 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger-starring Predator - will produce the film.

The most recent outing for the franchise was 2010's Predators.

Black is also working on a Doc Savage film adaptation, with Chris Hemsworth meeting him to discuss the starring role.
