“There were a couple of ideas to include [Arnie in The Predator], mostly in the third act,” Black said. “The studio…they were open to the idea to the notion of having him in, in a smaller role. I was fine with that, but it did present a problem, because when you call Mr. Schwarzenegger you don’t want to say: ‘Hey, we got this smaller role for you if you want it?’. I felt embarrassed to ask him, right?”

It turned out that Black’s initial thoughts were correct: “[Arnold] said: ‘Well, if I was featured more, yeah, but what you’re suggesting is that you’re creating this new thing and just using me to bless it.’ And so [I said], ahem… yes. And so I was not surprised when he said: ‘Look, I wish you luck, but that’s too small a role for me’.”
