by

As a devoted cinephile, I can’t help but share my excitement about Amber Midthunder, the brilliant actress who brought Naru to life in the 2022 blockbuster Prey. While I’m eagerly waiting for news of a sequel, I must admit that as of now, I haven’t heard any official whispers about it yet.

During an interview, she expressed her uncertainty about the current situation, stating, “I’m not sure what’s going on. Honestly, I don’t know. However, I would be thrilled to work on another project with Dan Trachtenberg. I have a deep affection for him and the world he created, as well as the character involved. I believe there are some exciting ideas out there that could make for a fun continuation.

In “Prey,” helmed by Dan Trachtenberg, we find an innovative spin on the Predator series, as it transports us to the early 1700s and follows the journey of a resourceful young Comanche warrior. The film garnered widespread praise from critics for its authentic portrayal of culture and powerful acting performances.

Although it’s been very successful, they haven’t announced an official follow-up yet. However, the movie’s closing scene, which suggests more alien dangers, has sparked a lot of fan theories.

The film has done really well, but there’s no word on a second part officially. But the final scene implying more aliens could cause trouble has got fans discussing possibilities.

Midthunder’s remarks indicate her readiness and eagerness to reprise the role if offered a chance. She has expressed, “I’m prepared. I cherished that experience. I adore that film. And I would be delighted to, you know, explore where else we can take it.

Amber Midthunder expresses her views about a possible ‘PREY’ sequel, stating that Director Dan Trachtenberg is ideal for the job given his exceptional work on the original film. She shares her enthusiasm about potentially reprising her role in the follow-up project.

Although a formal announcement about a follow-up hasn’t been made yet, the film’s impressive performance at the box office and Midthunder’s expressed enthusiasm keep the prospect of a sequel alive. In the meantime, fans eagerly anticipate “Predator: Hunter of Hunters,” an animated movie slated for release on June 6, 2025, which will be available on Hulu and Disney+.

The film, helmed by Dan Trachtenberg (director) and Micho Rutare (writer), falls under the umbrella of the Predator franchise. It was produced by 20th Century Studios and Davis Entertainment. This particular production marks the sixth installment in the primary series, making it the eighth overall movie in the series.

The narrative centers around three formidable combatants hailing from distinct historical eras. One is a Viking woman, determined to avenge her son alongside her. Another is a ninja from feudal Japan, locked in conflict with his Samurai sibling. Lastly, there’s an airman from WWII, striving to decipher a mysterious menace in the skies above him. Despite their formidable prowess and lethal abilities, they find themselves as targets rather than predators; a more ruthless assassin seeks them out.
