Hot on the heels of today’s exciting announcement that the upcoming Predator movie, formerly known as “Skulls”, will be officially titled “Prey” and released in the Summer of 2022, now a new promotional picture and logo has been released by 20th Century Studios for the Dan Trachtenberg directed film!
Featuring lead actress Amber Midthunder as “Naru” in her Comanche Nation garb, she appears to be stalking prey, armed with a bow and arrow. But looming in the fog behind her, an ominous Predator can be seen in the wilderness. Check it out!
And accompanying that exciting promotional image is an official logo for “Prey”, in a similar font that Predator fans are certainly accustomed to!
It’s also important to note that 20th Century Studios on their official Twitter page has indicated Prey will be “only on Hulu in 2022“, an indication that even a limited theatrical release is likely out of the question now.

just checking danes instagram, looks like he was the protein monster in netflix's sweet home, is master chief for the halo commercials, and played some demon character in american horror story.
Honestly, I'm not sure. Fingers crossed!
Kyle also did a good chunk of the motion capture for Upgrade.

Hey, you can bash suits' designs all you want, but Ian Whyte was a great Predator, goddamit !
derailed the topic? we're 8 pages into OP topic that the promo image dropped. we can talk about anything here regarding the film, i think.
who is portraying our predator is in fact an important topic. it's about time we were given a good quality predator!
Yeah I don't have very high hopes for either unfortunately but as I said Hulu has never had the distribution rights to this high profile of a film so it's definitely uncharted waters for Hulu and it'll be interesting to see how they handle it. A limited theatrical run with a physical release timed around the holiday season is how I'd like to see it handled IMO.
Oh yeah my bad, I'm the one who asked about Dane. Sorry!
Going back to the subject, I saw some people saying they noticed some kind of skull-like bio-mask when raising the contrast on the pic. I think I can see it too, maybe not really skull-like but it looks like it could be a creepy bio-mask, and a very unique one for sure.
But maybe it really is a skull inspired mask and that's why at one time the working title was "Skull" in the singular?
Dane for president. Who is dane? Not to be pessimistic but you all need to not throw us in a rabbit hole. Because you all just derailed this OP in a off topic here.
To set this straight, this yautja better be something that reboots the franchise here or else i'm going to ballsy here.
In regards to a theatrical release, apparently in the U.S. at least, 20th Century Studios said the film would only be on Hulu.

And I doubt a film studio would announce it this way, if they really meant "In theaters and on Hulu". (Plus they would have likely positioned a theatrical release date by now.)
In regards to a physical media release, *sigh*... I don't know. I sure hope so! They may want to keep Predator fans (and Alien series fans) on the hook as a subscriber!
Yes, based on what we can tell on social media, Kyle was on set a few weeks before Dane... but Dane left around one week after Kyle.
And when Kyle was at the airport, he wore a Predator pin. What does it all mean???

Seriously, no one can figure out this for sure. Dane can absolutely be the star creature here. Absolutely. But are there multiple Predators? A single Predator shared by two people due to the dangerous location work? What about other creatures? We know there's at least one bear in the mix. How important are these bear(s) to this Revenant-like story? What about a Sasquatch?🤞
It's all just a fruitless pursuit to figure out right now. Personally, I don't have a horse in this race. I just want, whoever dons a Predator suit, Dane, Kyle, or both to do a great job, in a great suit where I can finally sing ADI's praises. That's my dream.
Yeah you're not wrong. Honestly the Dane situation is kind of weird since we don't know what it's about. The way I see it, Dane is creature performer and a big Predator fan who's been trying to jump on board for a while now thanks to social media, he has been showing his desire to join the franchise strongly and respectfully and he made himself known to the actual people working on the movie. I don't think he's in the movie as the main Yautja, but you never know!

Interesting. Just seems to me that the filmmakers are acknowledging Dane's presence in this film and not Kyle's.
Im just trying to colour the situation here. Danes been tagged with people involved in production. Kyle hasn't. And if i'm not mistaken, someone in the other thread pointed out that Kyle was home before the film wrapped in Canada, while Dane was still there.
I guess we'll find out once the real cast gets announced.
Prey is the Sasquatch - title character. So there you have it folks, Sasquatch confirmed! #TeamSasquatch 4 life.
Urrrgh! 😅
my point exactly. danes been tagged by both tom woodruff and jeff cutter (when he essentially announced amber and dakota as well) - if kyle was heavily involved, i feel as though he'd be tagged too. let's be honest here. if dane was playing the bear/sashquach or even did part of the predator duties, they wouldn't just tag him and not kyle.

I can see the tagline now....
"Prey for Mercy"
What they actually meant was he's playing a character called "John Prey".
Yeah, I personally wouldn't make assumptions either way solely based on social media tags. Who knows, perhaps there could even be two or more Predators featured...
All we know is Kyle has donned a Predator suit before, and Kyle's talent agency announced Kyle will be playing "the title character". But we'll have to wait and see how this all shakes out.

Ah I see, thank you!
He pretty much confirmed himself when he posted a photo of the "Skulls" clapperboard on his Instagram and Twitter back in september when filming wrapped.
And he even posted the new title/logo 3 days ago and said "Grateful to be a part of this undertaking" on Instagram.

But Kyle sharing a pic of a "Skulls" clapboard liked by Amber Midthunder is still up and should hopefully tie anyone over.

Dane and Kyle appeared to be both doing costume work. Being the same height, it's quite possible they were both sharing Predator duties, but we do not have confirmation of that one way or another.

where has anyone from production confirmed kyle?
Who's to say we can't have both bear and sasquatch action right?
Now as for the Predator itself....idk maybe its one that is different on its own. The frame seems much wider and bulkier compared to Elder, especially the head. It could be the biomask Elder had switched up a few years later but everything else makes him much more bigger than Greyback. One thing for sure, I'm definitely reeled in and ready for this ride.
Just wished this was in theaters as well, but if Godzilla vs Kong did well in streaming, perhaps Prey can also be a sleeper hit too.

Is period piece Predator films in general just not your thing, or would you rather just not see one with the Comanche?

Also, why are some people thinking that Dane DiLiegro is playing the Yautja in the movie when Kyle Strauts is already confirmed to be in it?
Yeah, so far I don't like the premise.
Lol. I knew there was one. I just knew it. I checked my hot toy preds, super pred movie stills and The predator movie. I thought I was safe. Nope. Lol. Good catch.
Actually, first lefty Pred recorded was Big Red from Batman: Dead End
Save this movie for you? The movie needs saving in your eyes?
Too me, not so much bulky, but the Predator just generally looks a little too big in comparison to the 5 foot 5'' Amber Midthunder (even though she is crouching and possibly the ground level varies.) But I just personally chalk that up to being a promotional image.

Hmm. I'm not feeling snow.
But with the trees in the background looking like they have been through hell (leafless & branches broken or burnt) and all the falling ash, I thought perhaps a Predator self-detonated there. But it could be a fire or volcanic activity.

Fingers crossed!
tom woodruff tagging dane in his predator post... interesting
But the fact is so many female characters, pretty much since the beautifully written Ellen Ripley and Sarah Connor characters(of the original films) have been nothing but horrible, unbelievable, "woke", female in male role characters.
The premises for this movie is actually a great idea and a world I would love to see predator in, but if it's anything like the the last 2 sequels and the direction that modern cinema is going in, I just can't be excited.
That's just my opinion. Above all, I hope it's as great the first two.
Wouldn't be surprised if it did, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
I think it's just a marketing thing and that's not actually the scale of it
Yeah, it's much too coincidental to not be the elder and it's acquisition of the Flintlock. Wow we might have our first surviving predator ladies and gentlemen.
- Oh, it does look more like a pommel that the shoulder cannon to me. Very intriguing. Also the wrist blade looks sword like, like in predators. Also, is that the first predator to have the wrist blades on the left?? Cool.
I would expect the studio mostly took stock in reactions to their test screenings, general population versus the hardcore fans, but sure, it's absolutely possible they were weighing in our reactions as well. I'm just not convinced the studio sanctioned reshoots made a bad film worse. It seems to me, they may have made it more palatable and less damaging, less of a franchise killer. But alas, it's hard to say either way, without a finished alternate cut to compare it to.
Well it kind of feels too coincidental to me. You have a 1715 Spanish Flintlock with an Italian Name engraved...
And now they make a Predator movie taking place in the 1720s, where they picked a Native American tribe that dealt with Spanish Colonists - not Anglo, at a time where Italy had just recently beat back Spanish rule.
