I'm wondering how long until we hear some more cast names. Rodriguez often recruits old collaborators like Cheech Marin, we know Danny Trejo's involved. I wouldn't be surprised to see someone like Naveen Andrews (Planet Terror) or even Alexa Vega (Spy Kids). For a big guy, Kevin Durand (Wolverine) would make a mean hunt. He's massive and playing Little John in the new Robin Hood.
And Michael Biehn was also in Planet Terror, he'd be interesting as an older survivor on the Predator planet and confuse us again like Bill Paxton did (Aliens/Predator 2).
Thought it might be fun to throw some names out there and see if any of us are right.

nice idea, and good thinking about RR and past cast members.
hmmmm.
I am wondering if the alleged Arnie cameo, will be the Soldier in a cave who has been there for years , maybe towards the end of the film.
trying NOT to say who id like, but who i think, and im drawing a blank at present hehe.
Maybe
Adewale Akinnouye-Agbaje ( Mr echo from lost ) as the African guy.
Steve Buscemi although not physically imposing can be un-nerving.
im still hoping for a GOOD big hollywood name to be the lead role of THE COP ROYCE, but im wondering if the rumour of Michael Jai White, on IMDB is heading for that character.

At one hand I really want to see what kind of predators they actually have, on the other hand I don't want to get spoiled...

Steve Buscemi was another I thought of too, but even his serious roles have quite a bit of humourous undertones to them, guess it depends on the character. Thinking of Rodriguez projects they all have a fun movie presence to them, while AVPR was pretty dead on human atmosphere I'm expecting a true lively ride. At least he's got the experience and contacts to pull in the right people for the job, while the Strauss bros have disappeared back into the mainframe.

"We told you it was coming and sure enough, Variety has announced the entire cast for Robert Rodriguez's Predators, which will be headlined by Oscar-winning actor Adrien Brody (King Kong, The Pianist) as the mercenary Royce.
At the same time, The Hollywood Reporter's "Heat Vision Blog" is reporting that actor Topher Grace (Spider-Man 3, "That '70s Show") is in negotiations to join Brody as Edwin, an accountant who is in fact a dangerous serial killer.
The rest of the multinational cast includes the aforementioned Danny Trejo and Walton Goggins from "The Shield" as well as Alice Braga (I Am Legend), Oleg Taktarov, Mahershalalhashbaz Ali ("The 4400"), and Louiz Ozawa. The Variety story doesn't reveal which character all of them might be playing but you can get some idea by checking out Latino Review's preview.
Directed by Nimrod Antal, the Hungarian filmmaker behind last year's Vacancy and the upcoming Screen Gems crime thriller Armored, the movie is about to start shooting on location in Hawaii and Rodriguez's Austin-based Troublemaker Studios.
UPDATE: The Hollywood Reporter has posted more details on which characters they will play:
Written by Rodriguez, Alex Litvak and Michael Finch, the script follows a group of elite warrior-types who are being hunted by members of a race of merciless alien trackers called Predators.
Brody is a man who ends up inheriting the mantle of leader and is known as a hunter of men. Grace would play an accountant-type whose unassuming facade masks a dangerous serial killer.
Braga is the tough female killer. Ali is a man not afraid to die, Goggins is the loose canon of the group and Taktarov is a former Russian special ops agent.
Trejo, already cast, is Cuchillo, a hardened warrior with twin uzis strapped to his back"

There's talk that Derek Mears is due to turn up as a predator. I don't know him, but he seems kinda short.
Nice find Skullsplitter
Well weve at least got some GOOD ACTORS this time, which im real happy about, And even a Oscar winner in the lead role Im going to guess that because Mr Brody is NOT a HUGE person physicallly, they may go for a more gritty type of film. ( which is very cool if so, in my opinion of course )
We were no where near right with our guesses hehe.
BUT
The Guy they find in a cave has not been announced, so i maybe correct with my Arnie theory
As for Mears he is 6'5 and a bulky sort of guy, i didnt like this idea when it was 1st rumoured a while ago, as hes the wrong body shape and nearly 1ft smaller than the previous actors.
But i hope to be pleasantly surprised, i think out of the cast the Mears link is the most dissapointing, but only due to the fact that we are used to a certain height and build.

Adrian Brody huh? Thats means that they are going for the geeky timid look. Maybe he will turn into a vengeful killer by the end of the movie after hes had to deal with evading the Predators and seeing all the people around him get picked off one by one. I can already picture in my head where this movie is going and how its going to look based on what I know. Really looking forward to seeing some sneak peaks once filming starts. I'm sure there are some concept art pics out there...too bad we can't see them lol!
Yeah Mr Brody doesnt sort of stand out as a action star really.
BUT
The Royce character is meant to be a cop i think? who gets kidnapped after a pred watches him chase down and kill someone, so he has to be pretty hard nosed and some level of a killer worth hunting i guess.
Maybe brody will bring a different dimension to the predator films, i mean a average man forced into a situation where he has to improvise.
heres hoping we get some sneak peaks like Jason said
