20th Century Studios has just announced that the long-rumoured Predator animated film will be arriving on Hulu/Disney Plus on June 6th! The title is Predator: Killer of Killers (as previously rumoured) and was directed by Prey’s Dan Trachtenberg, alongside animation studios The Third Floor’s co-director Josh Wassung and was co-written with Micho Robert Rutare.
The announcement comes with a 2 minute long trailer, giving us a look at the eras that will be featured in the anthology, as well as a variety of different Predator designs! As Alien vs. Predator Galaxy previously reported, we’ll be seeing the Predator do battle against samurai, the Vikings and taking to the skies of World War 2 in ariel combat! Check out the trailer below.
Alongside the trailer, we also have the first poster for Predator: Killer of Killers and a synopsis and cast list (as posted exclusively by Bloody Disgusting) which sees Predators veteran Louis Ozawa return alongside Aliens alumni Michael Biehn!
Predator: Killer of Killers is a three-part animated anthology that showcases Yautja warriors hunting human prey across global history. It’ll premiere as a Hulu exclusive on June 6th, 2025. The voice cast includes Lindsay LaVanchy, Louis Ozawa, Rick Gonzalez, and Michael Biehn.
Here’s the official synopsis with all the glorious details:
“Predator: Killer of Killers, an original animated action-adventure film set in the Predator universe, will premiere June 6th, 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.”
According to Bloody Disgusting’s exclusive reveal, The Third Floor was responsible for the animation of Predator: Killer of Killers and was directly inspired by the animation style of Arcane.
“Predator: Killer of Killers marks The Third Floor’s first full-length feature, but they’re no rookies. As Trachtenberg notes, Wassung and his team have handled VFX for countless properties you’ve loved across Marvel’s Cinematic Universe, The Boys, Netflix Originals—the list continues. Many companies contributed to the film, but Wassung’s co-director tag speaks to Trachtenberg’s enthusiasm about working together, laying the groundwork for visual compositions that do not lack survivalist ferocity or intensity despite biased preconceptions about cartoons.”
Discussing why these particular eras were chosen, Dan Trachtenberg went into detail about the character arcs and the appeal of these eras.
“Most characters are dealing with generational [issues], trying to break a cycle. All the chapters are different genre-wise.” The frosty, fog-thick battlegrounds of 841 AD have a chill to them as this badass Viking death-dealer avenges her lineage while massacring her foes, yet the trailer footage for the American pilot segment looks much brighter and more adventure-centric. But, thematically, all segments are driven by a simple question: “Who would be a unique challenge for the Predator?” Time periods were chosen based on their trademark fighting capabilities and “cool” factor, from Japanese samurai choreography to WW2 airborne dogfights. The door is wide open to so many alternate possibilities, but Trachtenberg confirms Predator: Killer of Killers was created to stand alone, always as an anthology feature (versus, say, television episodes).
