Predator Fans are Stoked for Upcoming Prequel Movie Prey

By Spencer Perry - November 12, 2021 06:25 pm EST

Despite not being a part of the content that will do up on the service in the US, The Walt Disney Company offered a first look and some confirmation about the next entry in the Predator franchise, a new prequel titled Prey. Taking a major departure from movies in the series before, the film will take place hundreds of years ago rather than in the present or not-too-distant future, and will follow a Native American woman protecting her tribe from the space hunters. All of this news, combined with the first look photo and logo for the movie, has Predator fans super excited online.

Marking the first film in the series since 2018's The Predator, Prey is directed by 10 Cloverfield Lane filmmaker Dan Trachtenberg and will be released on the streaming service Hulu in 2022. A brief official description reads: "An all-new entry in the Predator franchise, Prey is set in the world of the Comanche Nation 300 years ago." Deadline reported earlier today that the film will follow Naru, a new character played by Amber Midthunder, described as "a skilled female warrior who fiercely protects her tribe against a highly evolved alien predator." A first look was released online as well that teased Amber's character and the fight she'll face.

Best thing about Prey is...

Best thing about Prey is that it takes away tools every other Predator character has had. No guns, no explosives, none of that shit pic.twitter.com/BpOyiVdA2h

Too awesome

I imagine in my head that the new #Predator movie #Prey is gonna be like Apocalypto mixed with the OG Predator. But because that would be too awesome it's gonna be completely different.

I'm gonna be there

If anything today, I am most looking forward to Prey. Since I'm a huge Predator fan, I know I'm gonna be there when it's up on Hulu. I just wish they released it in theaters.

Deserves to be in theaters

The new PREDATOR movie sounds really cool so why is Disney releasing it on Hulu? This franchise deserves to be in theaters. So disappointing. #PREY https://t.co/G48wCHb9IJ

I'm excited

Just had the Predator prequel film, Prey, pop in my news feed.
And while I'm excited to see how they fit this into the franchise, I am more excited that they hired an Indigenous American actress to play the heroine of the film.

I just...need a minute to process that.

So it was just pointed out to me that Prey is of course a Disney+ day announcement, and I just...need a minute to process that.

Disney is making Predator movies.

Did anyone have this on their bingo card? Because I did NOT see it coming.
