Fox's new Predator movie has added another cast member. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Alfie Allen, who portrays Theon Greyjoy in Game of Thrones and is pretty good at For Honor, will play a former Marine in the upcoming sci-fi film. His character will fight against the evil Predator creatures with the help of a team of others including Boyd Holbrook, Olivia Munn, and Keegan-Michael Key.

The new Predator film is directed by Iron Man 3's Shane Black. Filming on the R-rated movie started this week in Vancouver, a milestone that Black celebrated by sharing a picture of the main cast.

The film also stars Sterling K. Brown (The People v. OJ Simpson), Trevante Rhodes (Moonlight), and 10-year-old Jacob Tremblay (Room).

Last year, Black explained that The Predator would have a much larger scale than the previous films in the franchise. "I think the first one was great, and it was contained, and it was a perfect little gem for what it was. I think there's an expansion that needs to take place, and also just a love for that era, that movie, and the mythology of the Predator.

"I think that they came to me knowing pretty much that... they said, basically, if I wanted to make Predator but treat it like it was Iron Man 3 instead of just another little movie. I said, 'Let's really do it right this time.'"

The Predator hits theaters on March 2, 2018.
