Olivia Munn is thrilled 20th Century Fox took action against “The Predator”, but she was left in the dark for 48 hours.
The actress says she reached out to the studio after finding out director Shane Black hired a register sex offender for a scene with her.

“When I called, [Fox] was silent for two days,” Munn told Variety. “I did have to reach out again and say I didn’t feel comfortable presenting at the MTV Awards with Keegan [Michael Key] unless this guy was out of it.”
“I’m not saying they weren’t working on it behind the scenes,” she clarified. “I just didn’t hear anything about it. But I’m happy that they did obviously because I’m proud of the work we did in this movie, we all worked really, really hard, and I wouldn’t be able to morally stand behind this movie with this guy in there.”

Black expressed regret over casting Steven Wilder Striegel, a friend who is a registered sex offender. “I was misled by a friend I really wanted to believe,” he said in a recent statement.
On Saturday, Sterling K. Brown stood up for Munn after she shared that she didn’t feel supported by her co-stars during the film’s premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival.
Brown, who was unable to attend TIFF this year, expressed his apologies to Munn and shared his thoughts on the issue in a series of tweets.
Jacob Tremblay, Sterling K. Brown and Munn star in the action movie. It premiered at TIFF on Thursday and hits theatres Sept. 14.
