Having learned nothing from the destruction wreaked on the Terminator franchise, Predator is being rebooted with one of Hollywood's favorite ideas - the 90 lb woman who can somehow kick the ass of people twice or even three times her size.

And don't you worry. They plan to work just as much woke into the idea as humanly possible.

"While she’s no Arnold Schwarzenegger in terms of physical stature (few are) Amber Midthunder brings some action chops to the big screen in this new role. With one of the truly great last names around, Midthunder has been playing Kerry Loudermilk on FX’s Legion through its first three seasons. She’ll now star in this Predator reboot film which is a bit light on overall details as it stands right now. According to the press release, Midthunder will play a Comanche woman who eschews some of the rules of her tribe in order to become a 'warrior'. How this fits into the killer alien piece isn’t totally clear at this point."

Woman? Check.
Rejecting gender norms? Check.
Minority? Check.
Playing to positive stereotypes about minority? Check.

The rumors that the setting is the American Civil War (rather than follow the "highly evolved autism" angle last time) will also allow for another of Hollywood's favorite plot devices - the evil white man.

Nothing to do but kick back and wait for the inevitable train wreck.
