Is Predator Heading Toward an Epic Alien vs. Predator Reboot?

With the arrival of “Predator: Killer of Killers” on Hulu on June 6, director Dan Trachtenberg‘s latest clue might be pointing towards potential developments that could entail a clash between “Aliens” and “Predators”.

“So Much Bigger”

Killer of Killers” and forthcoming “Badlands,” as well as the previous “Prey,” expressed concern about the Predator franchise potentially losing its luster if it consistently revisits Earth due to the familiarity.

“Both Killer of Killers and Badlands make that universe SO MUCH bigger.”

As a diehard fan, I’ve been buzzing with excitement lately over a tantalizing hint that suggests a potential revival of the epic saga, Aliens vs. Predator. It seems like both “Killer of Killers” and “Badlands” might be subtly setting the stage for this long-awaited reboot. For those who are equally thrilled, here’s our in-depth analysis of the upcoming AVP action ➤.

A Predator as the Main Character?

In a different AMA session, Trachtenberg clarified that the upcoming movie titled “Predator: Badlands“, scheduled for release on November 7, focuses the narrative around a Predator rather than a human.

It’s fascinating how numerous science fiction movies present creatures and alien species in supporting roles, either as allies or adversaries. Instead, I imagine a film that puts the spotlight on these beings, making them the central figure.

He continued:

Imagine if Arnold Schwarzenegger played the role of ‘Predator’ this time. Picture him as ‘David’, a lone figure among giants in a world dominated by ‘Goliaths’. Would such an idea be accepted? Surprisingly, it seems it has been!

It appears that the Predator series is rapidly advancing with the upcoming release of “Killer of Killers” tomorrow and “Badlands” slated for fall. This could potentially lead to a fierce showdown between Predators and Xenomorphs, making for an exhilarating spectacle.

The upcoming series, titled “Alien: Earth,” unveiled a complete trailer and is set to premiere its eight-episode season on Tuesday, August 12. Additionally, it was announced today that the follow-up to “Alien: Romulus” will begin filming this year.

What is Predator: Killer of Killers about?

The collection of stories features a Viking woman leading her boy on a violent journey seeking vengeance, a ninja in ancient Japan rebelling against his Samurai sibling in a fierce struggle over power, and an air force pilot from WWII exploring an extraterrestrial danger to the Allied forces. Each of these fighters is deadly in their own way, but they are all hunted by a more formidable adversary – the deadliest slayer of killers.
