With Game of Thrones being one of the most popular shows on television at the moment, it’s no surprise its actors are in extremely high demand.

Earlier today, we reported how Iwan Rheon - who played the infamous Ramsey Bolton - has been cast in Marvel’s Inhumans TV series as the main villain.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Alfie Allan - famous for playing Theon Greyjoy - has joined Shane Black’s reboot of Predator.

The movie - which will not star Arnold Schwarzenegger - started filming on Monday, with the first official image of the cast being released that day.

Boyd Holbrook, Jacob Tremblay, Sterling K. Brown, Keegan-Michael Key, Trevante Rhodes, Thomas Jane and Olivia Munn all featured in the photo.

Allen will play an ex-Marine who teams up with Holbrook’s character to stop the human-hunting creatures in a suburban setting.

Along with his work on Game of Thrones, Allen has starred in the first John Wick, TV series Close to the Enemy, and science fiction thriller Pandemic.

The Predator is currently set to hit cinemas 9 February 2018.
