Following the animated return of Arnold Schwarzenegger‘s Dutch to the Predator franchise, the actor could soon reprise the role in a live-action capacity.

During Friday’s Predator: Badlands panel at Comic-Con, director Dan Trachtenberg teased the Hall H audience that he’s planning to “cook up stuff for that guy” after a recent breakfast meeting with the Golden Globe-winning actor and former governor of California.

Schwarzenegger starred in the original John McTiernan-helmed Predator (1987) as Major Alan ‘Dutch’ Schaefer, who encounters the titular extraterrestrial with his paramilitary team during a rescue mission in a Central American rainforest.

Although the franchise has expanded to nine movies over the years—including two crossovers with the Alien franchise and the upcoming Badlands, premiering Nov. 7 in theaters—Schwarzenegger has yet to reprise his role.

Following the release last month of the franchise’s first animated installment, Predator: Killer of Killers, Trachtenberg debuted an epilogue scene from a new cut now streaming on Hulu, featuring Schwarzenegger’s Dutch, Danny Glover‘s Lt. Mike Harrigan from Predator 2 (1990) and Amber Midthunder‘s Naru from Prey (2022), each in a floating coffin being carried by Predator warriors.

Trachtenberg noted that he got Schwarzenegger’s approval to use his likeness in the scene during their breakfast meeting.

Marking Trachtenberg’s third installment in the franchise after Prey and Killer of Killers, Predator: Badlands stars Elle Fanning in a story said to examine an unlikely allyship between her character, Thia, and a young Predator outcast from his clan on a remote planet.
