===''Predators 2''===

Nimród Antal had talked about a direct sequel to ''Predators'' and said he would love to do one. Rodriguez has said that he has interest in a sequel because of the large number of potential ideas the Predator planet setting provides:

{{quote|There are so many great ideas… Just following Laurence Fishburne's character (Noland) around in a prequel would be a great movie. Just the tales he tells in this movie alone, I want to see those experiences… That's why I wasn't precious even about the original script I had, because once you come up with the idea of a Predator Planet, that Predators use as their hunting grounds and humans are involved somehow, the story ideas that you can come up with are so numerous that you can come up with any approach. So we already have several ideas that we can go with for a sequel. They would all be good ideas but we would probably put them together to see which one rises to the top, if we made another one.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.movieweb.com/news/NE2Dq264pfd444|title=Exclusive: Robert Rodriguez Talks Predators Prequel, Sin City 2, Spy Kids 4 and Madman! |work=Movie Web|accessdate=July 3, 2010<!--, 2010-->|date=July 1, 2010}}</ref>|sign=|source=}}

In 2010, Rodriguez confirmed that there would eventually be a ''Predators'' sequel:

{{quote|"[The studio] said, 'Let's do some other ones. What other story ideas do you have?'" says the filmmaker. "Because it was like, let's test out the market with this one. They really wanted it to be pretty contained, pretty scaled-back. They didn't want to put too many of the ideas into it that we could save for a second one. So we could see what the appetite was, because the bigger movie would actually be what comes following that. That kind of sets up a new storyline, new ___location and world, and then you can really go crazy from there."<ref>{{cite web |date=July 22, 2010 |url= http://movies.ign.com/articles/110/1108015p1.html |title=SDCC 10: Rodriguez Confirms Predators 2 |work= [[IGN]] | publisher = [[News Corporation (1980–2013)|News Corporation]] |accessdate= July 22, 2010 }}</ref>}}

Adrien Brody also spoke about reprising his role in a possible sequel:

{{quote|"I think a lot of that is determined by the success of the film. And I don't think that far ahead. The idea of reprising the role and going farther into that character is interesting to me… It would be exciting to watch a character progress or deteriorate. That's exciting for an actor. I thoroughly enjoyed playing Royce. Again, part of the attraction is I'm oddly drawn to material that affects me on an emotional level, and characters that are dealing with things that are challenging that I would question, that I'm not so familiar with. Royce has his emotional arc in this that most of the characters I've played don't come close to possessing. That's an interesting thing to cultivate."<ref name="fearnet">{{cite web
