Fans will also no doubt notice that he seems to have a cybernetic appendage where his right hand should be. "Predator: Killer of Killers" "Predator: Killer of Killers" 20th Century Studios This is only one of at least three Predators viewers will encounter in "Predator: Killer of Killers". Along with the Yautja hunter in this clip, at least one will be battling samurai and ninja in Japan, while a third will be taking on combat pilots in World War II. "Predator: Killers of Killers" is directed by Dan Trachtenberg and Micho Robert Rutare, and written by Rutare. Trachtenberg previously directed the 2022 "Predator" prequel film, "Prey". Trachtenberg has made sure this year would be a busy one for the "Predator" franchise. Along with "Killer of Killers", Trachtenberg directed the live-action film "Predator: Badlands," which releases in theaters in November. Trachtenberg talked to ComicBook back in April about exactly how "Killer of Killers" came to be. "I had three very cool ideas," Trachtenberg said. "One of them, the first one, the one I was the most excited about at the time, was 'Badlands.' But then there was this other thing, that was 'Prey,' [that] was really cool." "We got to put the Predator in these different time periods and tell that story. I think the thing that made 'Prey' special, though, wasn't just Predator in a different time period, it was that the story we were telling was made better by the story of the Predator, and I didn't want to just throw them into a different time period." "I really wanted to figure out, if we were to do that kind of thing again, how could it be special? And what's the kind of story we could tell that could be equally badass and awesome, but also emotional and thematic and character-oriented?" "In thinking about the different time periods, I honed in on the idea of, what if we made an animated movie where we could express ourselves in a way that we don't get to see?" "We've now had all these Predator movies and we're doing this one that's crazy different, but still with all the stuff..." "The other side of the coin that I love in Predator movies is that hard-R, crazy carnage. Wouldn't it be cool to see that in a different medium? So we made this movie, 'Killer of Killers,' at the exact same time, stupidly, but awesomely." "Predator: Killer of Killers" streams on Hulu on Friday, June 6.

New 'Predator' Trailer Cuts A Bloody Trail Through History
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors In 2022's "Prey", director Dan Trachtenberg took the story of the "Predator" hunters all the way back to the 18th century. So what could be better than a "Predator" movie that goes back to a historical time period? How about one that goes back to three historical time periods, all across the world? Such a film is the animated "Predator: Killer of Killers," and Hulu just released a new trailer for the feature. You can watch it below. Read More: 'Predator', All Of The Movies Ranked From Worst To Best The official synopsis for "Predator: Killer of Killers" reads "The anthology story follows three of the fiercest warriors in human history: a Viking raider guiding her young son on a bloody quest for revenge; a ninja in feudal Japan who turns against his Samurai brother in a brutal battle for succession; and a WWII pilot who takes to the sky to investigate an otherworldly threat to the Allied cause.

"Predator: Killer of Killers" "Predator: Killer of Killers" 20th Century Studios Like "Prey", "Predator: Killer of Killers" will go straight to streaming and premiere on Hulu. But when it comes to the deadly Yautja, "Killer of Killers" isn't the only game in town this year. On November 6, "Predator: Badlands" releases in theaters. Unlike "Killer of Killers", "Badlands" is live-action and won't go straight to streaming. The film stars Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi as Dek, a young Predator who is outcast from his tribe for being smaller than your average Yautja. Elle Fanning joins him as Thia, an android. Together, they hunt something that Thia insists cannot be killed. We don't know what that something is just yet, but the first teaser for the film ends with a large, kaiju-sized creature rushing at Dek. But before you see "Badlands" in theaters, make sure to check out "Predator: Killer of Killers" from the comfort of your own couch. "Predator: Killer of Killers" is directed by Dan Trachtenberg, with Josh Wassung serving as co-director. The film is written by Micho Robert Rutare and the story is by Trachtenberg and Rutare. The film is scheduled to stream on Hulu on Friday, June 6.

First Teaser For Predator: Badlands Reveals The Movie's New Alien Hunter
After a year of rumors and reports, we finally got the first official teaser for the upcoming movie Predator: Badlands. And the teaser promises a Predator sequel unlike anything we've seen before. Predator: Badlands is from Prey director Dan Trachtenberg and is set to arrive in theaters in November. Here's the the teaser: And here is the official synopsis from 20th Century Studios and Disney: 'Predator: Badlands is set in the future on a remote planet, where a young Predator outcast from his clan, finds an unlikely ally in Thia and embarks on a treacherous journey in search of the ultimate adversary.' In case you can't tell from the trailer, Badlands will make one of the franchise's deadly alien hunters the protagonist. As seen in the teaser, we are going to be spending a lot of time with this outcast Predator who seems to not wear a mask for large sections of the movie. That lets us get a good look at his alien face and mandibles and it reveals that one of the only flaws of Prey—the goofy maskless Predator design—has been fixed here. No more giant forehead! If, after watching that teaser, you're thinking, 'Wait, didn't we already see a trailer for a new Dan Trachtenberg-directed Predator movie earlier this month?' don't be alarmed. You aren't losing your mind. We did get a trailer for a different Predator movie—Killer of Killers—about two weeks ago. That one is an animated movie featuring different Predators in different time periods and is also from Trachtenberg. That movie is set to launch on Hulu on June 6. Will it have any ties or connections to Badlands? Maybe! Anyway, Predator: Badlands (the live-action movie) is set to land in theaters on November 7. Two Predator movies in one year? What a world! .
