For the primary time in its 35+ yr historical past, Predator is getting an animated film. Predator: Killer of Killers is an anthology movie with three completely different tales (set in three completely different historic intervals). The movie is bypassing theaters and premiering on the Hulu streaming service this summer time.
Maybe probably the most promising side of the venture is that it was co-directed by Dan Trachtenberg (with Josh Wassung), who beforehand made the live-action Predator prequel Prey. That movie was set in 18th century America; Killer of Killers takes place in feudal Japan, the age of Vikings, and World Warfare II. You’ll be able to see all three within the first teaser for the movie beneath:

Right here is the movie’s official synopsis:
The anthology story follows three of the fiercest warriors in human historical past: a Viking raider guiding her younger son on a bloody quest for revenge, a ninja in feudal Japan who turns in opposition to his Samurai brother in a brutal battle for succession, and a WWII pilot who takes to the sky to analyze an otherworldly menace to the Allied trigger. However whereas all these warriors are killers in their very own proper, they are merely prey for his or her new opponent – the last word killer of killers.
Predator: Killer of Killers is ready to premiere on Hulu on June 6. That is truly one in every of two Predator movies Trachtenberg has coming in 2025. The opposite, Predator: Badlands, is a live-action movie, and his first that’s set to play in theaters. That film is at the moment scheduled to open in multiplexes on November 7.
