Another reboot of a classic movie is on the way and we've heard recently that it's 1987 alien action horror film, "Predator." More and more news have sprouting about the movie and this time the movie will be having "X-Men: Apocalypse" actress Olivia Munn joining in the fight against the alien hunter.

'X-Men: Apocalypse' actress Olivia Munn joins the cast

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Oliva Munn (who played Psylocke in "X-Men: Apocalypse") will take the role of a scientist and will be helping "Narcos" star Boyd Holbrook, who plays as a Special Forces commando.

'The Predator' will be set in a suburban setting; film to "reinvent" the franchise

Reports say that the setting will be bringing viewers back to a civilized area just like "Predator 2" back in 1990, albeit being in a more suburban setting.

The movie is also being planned to be "reinvented," with director Shane Black and co-writer Fred Dekker helming the film. "The Predator" is set for filming on February 2017.

Recap on the lead actor Boyd Holbrook; original "Predator" producers to help produce the reboot

On earlier news, actor Benicio del Torro was originally supposed to take the role of Holbrook but due to numerous schedule conflicts. The decision was ultimately made to give the "Narcos" star the lead role instead.

In related news, the original 1987 "Predator" movie's producers John Davis, Joel Silver, and Lawrence Gordon will be returning to produce the sequel with plans of shooting starting next year. "The Predator" reboot is also purposed to be the sequel to the original 1987 film.

"The Predator" has been slotted for a premiere on Feb. 9, 2018.
