So was the Fishbourne part originally written for Schwarzenegger?
I remember hearing that they were tying to get him for this movie in a limited role.

shareMaybe. But it would have been such a different character. Can't see Arnie playing such a wacko.
shareDidn’t Fishburne become a villain? He tried to eat them?
They couldn’t use Arnold that way. He’s too much of a fan favorite to play that role.
They modified the role when Arnie declined it. I specifically remember he was supposed to be living on the planet after being captured sometime after the events of the first film
shareI remember they tried to get Schwarzenegger to take part in Predator 2 with Danny Glover in a limited capacity but he turned them down. Could you be thinking of that?
shareI remember hearing that as well, but no, im definitely remembering that he was supposed to be living in the jungle for this project.

What I read is that the script called for Dutch to show up in one of the predators' ships to rescue them
The suggestion (which I find stupid) is that Dutch is now working with them in some capacity
