"They did an additional Predator and the director [Dan Trachtenberg] has been doing a great job of that," Schwarzenegger said during an appearance at the Arnold Sports Festival in Ohio (via TheArnoldFans). "Now, he wants me to be in the next Predator. We’ve talked about it. As a matter of fact, Fox studios has kind of rediscovered Arnold. They’ve come to me and said, 'We want you to do Predator, we just got a script for you to do Commando 2.'"

It looks like Predator isn't the only franchise Arnie might be returning to, either – the actor also revealed that he's returning for a Conan the Barbarian sequel from none other than Mission: Impossible helmer Christopher McQuarrie. "They just hired a fantastic writer/director who did Tom Cruise’s last four movies," Schwarzenegger added. "They just hired him to write and direct King Conan."
"With King Conan, it's a great old story that Conan was 40 years as king, and now he gets forced out of the kingdom, and there’s conflict, of course, but somehow he comes back and there’s all kinds of madness, violence, magic and creatures and stuff like that," he explained. "And now, of course, there’s all kinds of special effects. The studio has plenty of money to make those movies really big, so I'm looking forward to all of those projects."
