Preydirector Dan Trachtenberg is directing another Predator installment.
Trachtenberg’s Prey is the fifth installment in the Predator franchise and serves as a prequel to the first four movies, providing an origin story for the trophy-hunting species. The film is a departure from its predecessors, as the previously male-dominated franchise features an indigenous female protagonist (played by Amber Midthunder) going up against the alien hunters. Prey received generally positive reviews and set a streaming record for Hulu, becoming their most-watched debut to date.
Trachtenberg previously teased a follow-up to Prey, saying, “There is something refreshing about seeing a movie that is not really intended to be just a part one to something else. There’s something nice about seeing a complete thought. On the complete other hand, I love that what would’ve been a post-credit scene in other movies, is an animated end-title sequence in our movie. Our end titles are still storytelling.”
