Even more casting details for Iron Man 3 director Shane Black’s new Predator movie have come to light. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Yvonne Strahovski is in "final negotiations" to join the cast for Fox’s 2018 action movie.

Strahovski will play the mother of 10-year-old Room actor Jacob Tremblay’s character, who is described as a "troubled boy." His father is the character played by Boyd Holbrook (Narcos, Logan).

Holbrook plays the lead in The Predator, with a cast that also includes Sterling K. Brown (The People v OJ Simpson), Keegan-Michael Key (Horrible Bosses 2), Olivia Munn, and Trevante Rhodes (Moonlight). Earlier this week, Game of Thrones actor Alfie Allen joined the cast.

Strahovski was on NBC’s Chuck for five seasons and also appeared on Showtime’s Dexter. Additionally, she voiced Miranda Lawson in the original Mass Effect trilogy.

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. The movie started shooting this week and a picture of the main cast was released.
