"The Trailer for 'Predator: Slayer of Slaughterers' Showcases Exciting, Gory Footage"
Get ready, Predator fans! The latest addition to the Predator universe, "Predator: Killer of Killers", is set to make its debut on Hulu on June 6. The upcoming animated anthology film, directed by Dan Trachtenberg (known for his work on "Prey" and "Predator: Badlands"), brings together three fierce warriors from different historical periods for an epic battle against the Predators.
The film features a Viking raider on a bloody quest for revenge accompanied by her son, a ninja in feudal Japan who battles his Samurai brother for succession, and a WWII fighter pilot investigating an otherworldly threat. Each of these warriors encounters deadly Yautja (Predator) hunters who have arrived on Earth across different eras to hunt human prey.
The connection between these stories within the Predator universe is that they all depict human confrontations with the alien Yautja species throughout history, positioning the film as a time-spanning anthology that explores how Predators have hunted humans over centuries, predating the original 1987 Predator movie.
In the film's conclusion, these three warriors are captured by the Predators and placed in suspended animation alongside other characters from the franchise, including Naru from the film "Prey" and iconic characters like Dutch and Michael Harrigan from earlier Predator films. They are eventually freed and forced to fight for a Yautja warlord’s entertainment, leading to a daring escape attempt.
The Viking, ninja, and WWII pilot storylines are linked as representations of humanity’s ongoing struggle against the Predators across different times, all woven into the larger Predator mythos through their capture and imprisonment by the Yautja, suggesting a continuous and interconnected Predator hunt spanning human history.
The full trailer for the film has been released, showcasing new Predators, action, and a lot of awesome. The voice cast includes Lindsay LaVanchy, Louis Ozawa, Rick Gonzalez, and Michael Biehn, known for his role as Corporal Hicks in "Aliens".
While it is not yet clear if "Predator: Killer of Killers" will tie in with "Predator: Badlands", which is scheduled for release in November, one thing is for sure - this film represents a new evolution of the Predator universe. So mark your calendars for June 6, and get ready for an exciting new chapter in the Predator saga!
