The Predator trailer has finally been classified, indicating that it’s release is imminent. Trailer Track are reporting that The Predator trailer has just (this afternoon) been classified by the German FSK – Germany’s classification board.
The upcoming trailer – which was recently screened for attendees at Cinemacon – will be 1 minute and 36 seconds in length and is rated suitable for everyone above the age of 12. It’s currently unknown if this will be the exact same trailer that was shown at Cinemacon but it’s a safe bet and thanks to those reports we have an idea of what to expect:
“The trailer starts off on Halloween with Jacob Tremblay’s character Rory playing with a toy box that has a toy alien ship inside of it. It’s revealed that he’s actually controlling a real alien spaceship somewhere else and that ship crashes onto Earth, releasing a lot of Predators into the wild.
The trailer then cuts to an interrogation room with Boyd Holbrook’s character, Quinn who is an expert sniper and the father of Rory. The sequence is intercut with shots of soldiers battling the Predators in a jungle – lots of gunfire and explosions and one of Predators holds one of the soliders up by the neck. Olivia Munn makes an appearance as scientist Casey Bracket and she states that the Predators are upgrading on every planet they visit. She is later seen handling a weapon.”
While we have no confirmed release date for the trailer yet, the official Indonesian 20th Century Fox Twitter account recently confirmed that the trailer would be going online in May. Given the usual delay between trailer classification and actual release, we expect to see it released sometime later this week. Trailer Track notes that it’s possible the trailer will be released very shortly (as in today).
The last time we had this wait on Alien vs. Predator Galaxy was the first Alien: Covenant trailer. It too was first classified on a Wednesday and was released on the following Monday. It also looks like the film will be known as Predator – Upgrade for its German release.

Update: According to popular Alien and Predator YouTuber, The Predator will be screened in front of Deadpool 2 as many of us have been speculating:
They look like they're on "the Ark"
Spoiler
Don't recall Holbrook, the kid, the girl plus 3 others being on there in the script - unless I'm wrong?
Could be big, big changes to the script on the back of these reshoots?
The actors aren't typically aware of the advertising schedule but perhaps he knows something? The bottom does look like a still though...
I'm in the midlands. It's so weird to me to read "the ASDA". lol
Another one!
Where abouts, mate?
I'm Northern (Liverpool) and we say "The Predator", "The Avengers", "The ASDA" etc.
Odd bunch, admittedly.
Is this something we can take as certain?
Haha. Ever since I was a kid I've called it that, mate!
We tend to put 'the' in front of everything, though, sorry!
Mr_H is entitled to opinion and has made it quite clear. I'm going to wait to see the finished product before I make mine up.
This is a PREDATOR movie; not ET nor "its love-letter to Spielberg" Super-8* (*amazing film btw). I say that as Shane Black tried to quell the fanbash by defending his child lead comparing PREDATOR to ET.
Also a magical toy spaceship that causes a real PREDATOR spaceship to crashland?
Even Mr H Reviews, paused for a long breath and his tone suggested this film is DOA.
Drop the trailer so we can have a peek at how bad it is. I doubt said McGuffin will make an appearance, only things that make it look good. You know like human soldiers and Predators engaged in a war. That is all the "wow" we need.
You are correct, I didn't see it when I used the "new" post link to enter the thread.
Why? Why God, why?
But I think this is the name for the trailer itself, and not the film.
Going by the trailer-track link, 'The Film' is called 'Predator - Upgrade Trailer 5', and the 'Original Title' is "The Predator".
I'm taking 'the film' to mean the film they've received to review. Presumably (in the past) they'll have received a hard copy of 'actual film and titled it accordingly for storage purposes etc.
Remakes keep the name of the original.
The The Predator, probably 😜
Positive reviews: "The Predator really upgrades the franchise to a new level"
Smartass negative reviews: "As it turns out, The Predator is no upgrade at all"
You can print that.
Predator - Upgrade seems to be the title the movie gets here in Germany, for some stupid reason the movie publishers often change the movie titles or add dumb subtitles to them. Don´t take this for granted guys.

I'm actually wondering about the brazilian title, because here they tend to add "The" to titles that don't have them, and that's the case for the first Predator. "Predator" here is called "The Predator". So I'm wondering what they're gonna do with this one.
Anyway, I'll see it when I see it. But it is a really unfortunate choice of words when it comes to marketing.
I thought they always release both green and redband trailers on the same days. Does the redband have to get classified before we see it?
In Germany.
I'll try to resist saying "I told you so".
Wait.....
According to Mr_H and a source, it'll be going in front of Deadpool 2 as expected.
Yes i think it's the most likely option, gonna have to wait a little more to see more blood and maybe hear some f**ks
The cinemacon trailer was described as "bloody" but this one is suitable for everyone above the age of 12. Could it be a green band version of the same trailer? 🤔
Yeah, it fits. I was expecting them to drop "The" from the title for everyone about a year ago but I can't even think of an alternate tagline that sounds very good haha Upgrade isn't bad imo.
Predator
Predator 2
Predators
I was afraid they would just drop the "The" (They did that with The Wolverine and The Terminator, for example) and call it Predator here, Upgrade is not the best title, but it is rather fitting.
Yeah, I noticed that too. Seems a little on the blunt side.
Predator - Upgrade
Then the real complaining starts...haha!
