Right now, we are in the midst of the greatest period in Predator franchise history. That’s kind of crazy, considering how good it’s been in the past, but also how far it had fallen. At San Diego Comic-Con, the man behind this resurgence, Prey director Dan Trachtenberg, had a huge surprise for fans of the ultimate alien hunter. Beware, because there are spoilers for the animated anthology Predator: Killer of Killers below!
During the SDCC panel for Predator, Trachtenberg revealed to eager fans a new ending for Predator: Killer of Killers, which he also directed. The Hulu film comes to a conclusion by revealing that Amber Midthunder’s character in Prey, Naru, is frozen and kept as a Predator trophy. But then the camera pans over to reveal two other shocking trophies: Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Dutch from the original Predator movie, and Danny Glover’s Mike Harrigan from Predator II.
Pretty wild, right?
So what does this mean? While it’s doubtful we’re going to see the Governator, Glover, and Midthunder suddenly team up in a live-action movie, what about another animated film? You don’t prepare something like this just to do nothing with it, so we can expect that Trachtenberg has a plan. And I, as a major Predator mark myself, am excited to see what that is.
Coming up next this November is Predator: Badlands, which we recently learned is set in the same universe as Alien. Both of these franchises have been reinvigorated lately. What a great time to be a fan.
