‘Prey’– New ‘Predator’ Prequel Brings Franchise to the 18th Century
Disney+ Day revealed one movie that’s definitely not family-friendly– get ready for the new Predator prequel film Prey.
The new Predator movie Prey is set 300 years ago as a prequel to the current run of movies. It’s being reported that the movie will tell the tale of the first visit the Predators make to Earth. Amber Midthunder (Legion) stars as a Comanche warrior that becomes prey for the universe’s ultimate hunter.
The goal is to replicate what made the original movie great, but with a strong female protagonist. And she won’t have automatic weapons or cigars to rely on.

What We Know About the New Predator Movie
The return is being led by Dan Trachtenberg (10 Cloverfield Lane, The Boys). The project will premiere on Hulu next summer, which allows them to give it an R-rating.
No other cast has been announced. But based on the synopsis, it may just be Amber Midthunder vs some tall stunt guys in costumes.
Producer John Davis talked to Collider about what’s in the works:
“It goes back to what made the original Predator movie work. It’s the ingenuity of a human being who won’t give up, who’s able to observe and interpret, basically being able to beat a stronger, more powerful, well-armed force. Watching dailies, you just understand how [Trachtenberg’s] vision is completely unique. He’s got his own language and it’s fresh and it’s cool, and it’s interesting.”
Predator has been a hit-or-miss franchise since it first came to the screen. I’m hoping for something good– or at least so bad it’s good.
The last couple of movies were just flat-out bad. What do you want from this new movie?
