Predator Kills the Marvel Universe Promises Huge Body Count, Sets Release Date
One sought Wolverine as the ultimate challenge. A hunting party invaded Wakanda only to be turned away by Black Panther and his people. An outcast contended with Spider-Man in the urban jungles of New York City. Now, a Yautja king and his court will make Earth into their own happy hunting ground in Predator Kills the Marvel Universe. Predator Kills the Marvel Universe will be the finale of a line of crossovers between the two franchises. It will be written by Benjamin Percy who has overseen the series since the bloody beginning. The artwork will be provided by Marcelo Ferreira, who also illustrated Predator vs. Spider-Man. The story will center around a Predator king empowered by a new arsenal of Vibranium weapons. This, coupled with a surprisingly unlikely human ally, leads to an all-out invasion of Earth. Both heroes and villains will stand against the alien hunters. However, not all of them will make it out alive. The first issue is scheduled for release on August 13. Percy spoke with IGN about the series to date and the accordingly escalated build to Predator Kills the Marvel Universe. 'Over the past few years, I've been having the time of my life writing the Predator Vs. series,' he said. 'The Yautja have hunted Wolverine across the decades. They've battled Black Panther and plundered Wakanda of its Vibranium. And they've faced off against Spider-Man and Kraven during a blackout heatwave in New York. These stories have been patiently building toward something epic. Their interconnectedness will be revealed in this explosive, blood-drenched, five-part story.' Marvel Comics is famed for their explicitly hyperbolic advertising. As such, audiences might be skeptical of a title like Predator Kills the Marvel Universe. However, Percy is adamant that this series' title is no exaggeration. 'That title? It's not misdirection. This one's gonna hurt. Your favorite heroes and villains will fall, even as others rise up against this extinction-level event. The Predator King is here. The Yautja are armed with Vibranium. And Earth is now a hunting preserve.' Predator Kills the Marvel Universe #1 arrives in comic shops everywhere on August 13, 2025.

Predator Hunts Marvel Heroes In New Series First Look
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 Could the Predator take out an Asgardian god like Thor? How about the Incredible Hulk? Or Wolverine? Well, Marvel fans are about to find out in what promises to be a bloody limited series, "Predator Kills the Marvel Universe". You can see the main cover for the first issue below, provided by IGN. 'Predator Kills the Marvel Universe" #1 'Predator Kills the Marvel Universe" #1 Marvel Comics Read More: Ryan Reynolds Teases New Deadpool Team Up Project Thanks to the events of "Predator vs. Black Panther" and "Predator vs. Spider-Man", the Yautja have amassed enough power that they cannot only challenge Earth's mightiest heroes, but they've turned Earth into one giant game preserve. There, a Predator King plans to hunt down every Marvel hero and villain he can. "Predator: Killer of Killers" "Predator: Killer of Killers" 20th Century Studios The miniseries brings together Benjamin Percy and Marcelo Ferreira, who previously worked together on "Predator vs. Spider-Man". Percy has written all the Marvel "Predator Vs." series so far: "Predator vs. Spider-Man", "Predator vs. Black Panther", and "Predator vs. Wolverine". From the sound of it, while "Predator Kills the Marvel Universe" shares a continuity with the other "Predator Vs." titles, it doesn't share a narrative with the main Marvel Comics continuity, meaning that no one has any plot armor against the Yautja. "That title? It's not misdirection," Benjamin Percy told IGN. "This one's gonna hurt. Your favorite heroes and villains will fall -- even as others rise up against this extinction-level event. The Predator King is here -- the Yautja are armed with vibranium -- and Earth is now a hunting preserve." Asked about how the predators could possibly be a match for some of the more powerful Marvel heroes like Hulk and Thor, Percy responded, "The playing field has not only been leveled -- it's tipped in the favor of the Yautja. I can't tell you everything, because 'Predator Vs. Spider-Man' hasn't released yet, but something game-changing happens at the end of it that will make people drop their jaws. But here's something you've already clocked, if you've been following along. In Predator Vs. Black Panther ... the Yautja raided the Wakandan mines. We all know how obsessed they are with tech and weaponry, so just imagine what they can do with the motherlode of what they refer to as 'godmetal.'" This year promises to be a busy one for "Predator". Two months before "Predator Kills the Marvel Universe", the animated anthology movie "Predator: Killer of Killers" streams on Hulu on June 6. Then, on November 7, the live-action movie "Predator: Badlands" hits theaters, giving us our first film in which the predator is the protagonist. "Predator Kills the Marvel Universe" #1 hits stands August 13.
