Due to Prey director Dan Tratchenberg, it’s a good time to be a fan of the Predator films. After reinvigorating the franchise together with his 2022 direct-to-Hulu function, Tratchenberg has two new tasks within the works: This fall’s Predator: Badlands, a future-set story of a Predator teaming up with Elle Fanning on an alien planet, and the newly-confirmed Predator: Killer of Killers, an animated anthology movie arriving on Hulu this June.
The existence of Killer of Killers was a poorly-kept secret till now (it’s arduous to say one thing is a well-kept secret if an organization government mentions it in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter). However that doesn’t make the film any much less thrilling. Right here’s the official description, courtesy of twentieth Century Studios:
The anthology story follows three of the fiercest warriors in human historical past: a Viking raider guiding her younger son on a bloody quest for revenge, a ninja in feudal Japan who turns in opposition to his Samurai brother in a brutal battle for succession, and a WWII pilot who takes to the sky to analyze an otherworldly risk to the Allied trigger. However whereas all these warriors are killers in their very own proper, they’re merely prey for his or her new opponent – the final word killer of killers.
The idea continues what was so compelling about Tratchenberg’s Prey, which starred Amber Midthunder as a younger Comanche warrior within the 12 months 1719, going through off in opposition to the famed alien hunter race first launched in 1987’s Predator. In his assessment, Consequence’s Clint Worthington known as it “probably the most thrilling sci-fi thrillers of latest classic,” partly as a result of it’s “the sort of tonal and environmental experimentation this sort of franchise needs to be trying: popping the Predator in self-contained, diverse contexts, testing it in opposition to every kind of self-contained situations as a substitute of bogging the creature down in lore.”
