You’ll have to wait a little bit to see what Prey director Dan Trachtenberg is cooking up for the big screen—but don’t forget, he’s got two Predator movies coming this year. Predator: Badlands will be in theaters November 7, and now the first trailer is here for Predator: Killer of Killers, an animated film coming to Hulu June 6.
As io9 first reported, the film is indeed an anthology taking place across multiple settings: World War II, the Samurai era, and the times of the Vikings being the three. In each time period, a Predator appears to fight their deadliest warriors. The film looks like a violent explosion of sci-fi excitement and here’s your first look.
“Been holding onto this for a while,” Trachtenberg posted on X. “We insanely made two movies that come out this year. Here’s the first, buckle up…”
Josh Wassung, from the animation company The Third Floor, is Trachtenberg’s co-director on the film and the voice cast includes Lindsay LaVanchy, Louis Ozawa, Rick Gonzalez, and Michael Biehn. Yes, Michael freaking Biehn. Hicks is going from Aliens to Predator. And here’s the official synopsis.
Predator: Killer of Killers, an original animated action-adventure film set in the Predator universe, will premiere June 6, 2025, exclusively on Hulu. 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. But while all these warriors are killers in their own right, they are merely prey for their new opponent—the ultimate killer of killers.
So is it the same Predator fighting all three? Does that mean we know they lose? And will this tie in, at all, to Trachtenberg’s other two movies? We don’t know, but we’re very excited to find out.
Predator: Killer of Killers hits Hulu June 6 and you can read more over at Bloody Disgusting.
