20th Century Studios has finally unveiled its plans for the Predator franchise. It was already announced that Prey director Dan Trachtenberg will be returning to the franchise to direct the live-action Predator Badlands, starring Elle Fanning.
But a new report from The Hollywood Reporter reveals Trachtenberg will also be directing an animated anthology titled Predator: Killer of Killers. The film will be based on a script from Micho Robert Rutare, based on a story conceived with Trachtenberg, and co-directed by Josh Wassung of the animation studio, The Third Floor.
Per the log line, Predator: Killer of Killers is an “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.”
Predator: Killer of Killers will premiere on Hulu and Disney+ June 6.
According to an interview with 20th Century Studio head Steve Asbell in 2024, Trachtenberg came to 20th Century Studios with several ideas on how to continue the Predator franchise without creating a sequel for Prey.
Asbell could not reveal much at the time about Predator: Killer of Killers, but regarding Predator Badlands, he said, “It is an absolutely bonkers idea. It is a sci-fi thing, but it’s not what everybody thinks it is. And I mean, it’s awesome. It is so nuts. But in Dan, we trust.”
However, Fanning revealed the shocking premise of Predator Badlands during CinemaCon last week.
“Something unprecedented happens in this movie, and my character is not the one being chased,” she said, per THR. “My character actually teams up with the Predator, and you get to see him in a whole new light.”
Predator: Badlands is set for a theatrical release Nov. 7.
