Predator: Killer of Killers teases a most dangerous, multigenerational game in new trailer
The next phase of director Dan Trachtenberg’s plan to reenergize the Predator franchise is another foray into the past.
Today, Hulu shared a new trailer for 20th Century Studios’ upcoming animated anthology movie, Predator: Killer of Killers. Similar to Prey, Killer of Killers will tell the story of how human warriors have to fight for their lives after unexpectedly crossing paths with members of the Yautja race who hunt for sport. But rather than focusing on a single alien attack in the past, the new animated feature will chronicle three encounters from different time periods.
The trailer spotlights how the Predators will set their sights on a Viking raider, samurai from feudal Japan, and a WWII Allied pilot. All of the humans seem like skilled fighters, but it’s clear none of them are ready to die with the Predators’ advanced weaponry.
In an interview with Bloody Disgusting, Trachtenberg said that, while Killer of Killers is firmly set in the same larger universe as Prey and his upcoming, live-action feature Predator: Badlands, the anthology was always meant to work as a standalone project.
We’re still a few months out from Predator: Badlands’ theatrical debut on November 7th. But Killer of Killers looks and sounds like it will make for solid appetizer when it hits Hulu on June 6th in the US (and Disney Plus’ Star hub in other territories.)
