Whether a direct follow up to Prey continuing with Naru or further elaborating on a backstory to the Predator lost tribe of Predator 2 or a new Predator story set in another point of history would be fascinating to explore.
Kind of embarrassing how beat around the bush they have to sound about making a movie.
Hoping for an official announcement soon.
@Enjoy chances there are non disclosure agreement contracts that have been signed, there still debating to movie forward on a new project and have yet to be given the green light, too early to tell if development on another film is a guarantee.
The only reason not to would be to make room for a new idea If anything i hope. . Amazed how much effort go's into TMNT and spiderman and how little into the predator series when it has so many possibilities without a multiverse.
Dan I'm sure got a few cool ideas on where to go next with the Predator franchise, things just hasn't reached the stage to disclose to the public about it probably. Personally, I got no issue with Dan helming another Predator flick, he's proven he knows what works for the franchise and what new ideas can apply to it.
mr Dan man counting on you to make a sequel.
Ehh I don't want her back personally. Do something different again in a different timeline. I'd rather it not become serialised. There's so much history to explore and times periods to set it in its a waste doing the same thing again. They also need to do something fresh again like having the Predator win this time or something. You go in to these films knowing what to expect. You have a hero, loads of other people die, hero gets beaten up and outsmarted and nearly dies but then manages to outsmart it in someway and they kill it. Its getting tiresome. The threat of the Predator has pretty much died off because they always lose in the end.
Also, going back to 1.85:1 would be nice too. Ever since these films have went to anamorphic they just don't feel the same.
I had an idea, what if they based it on true events but changed it abound kind of like Brotherhood of the wolf.
I was thinking what if you took the someone like vlad the impaler and msde hin a predator. Mayve hes deforned and lack mandibles and was abandoned of warth becuse if it where ge is raised by people or have jack the ripper be some crazy ptedator that has a taste for Victorian prostitutes. I don't know it just an idea
Probably nothing, but...

Wouldn't that be something...
Could also be the Prey home release. I have it on good authority that wasn't just a rumour.
Well, will you look at that.
It was the home release, right?
In a recent interview, it was nice to see Dan acknowledge both Arnold and Danny Glover and say there's still time for them both to come back in a sequel. I'm sure they'd both be up for it so long as they were given actual roles in whatever project it could hypothetically be, and not just cameos.
Arnold living in a cabin whilst Danny leads OWLF will always be my pick.
I would be fine with a scene similar to what Edward James Olmos had in Blade Runner 2049.
A respectable conversation in a retirement home.
Arnie wouldn't, hence never coming back. He wants an actual role.

After the plan for him to lead Predator 2 fell through, and Predator 3 went into development hell, cameos at the end of Predators and The Predator were either discussed or offered.
I think it's very telling that he came back for Predator: Hunting Grounds though, I feel like the game's audio tapes played a big part in that decision. It allowed him to do something more than just sign off on his likeness and recording a couple clips for gameplay.

I believe there was an interview somewhere or I think a tweet from big A himself that he was glad to be back in the role doing something big. Which it is pretty big than simple cameos because we get to see his story expand beyond 87 from a mercenary to a dedicated Predator Hunter.

makes sense to me, make every entry in a franchise it's own complete thing.

Don't get me wrong, I love Arnie and Glover in their classic Predator roles. But here's the thing:
What kind of actual roles do you guys envision for Arnie and Glover? Both actors are now well into the elderly age category. So them going mano-a-mano with the Predator again is going to strech crediblity to the breaking point. I mean two old geezers reprising the sort of physical no-holds-barred style of fight we saw in Pred and Pred 2 is asking a lot of the audience, even for Hollywood. So what kind of roles will work now that both of them have since long past their prime?
I suppose its possible both Arnie and Glover's character can be some sort of elder statesman/advisor/mentor role to the main lead. Given their prior experience surviving the Predator encounters, no doubt they would have valuable experience to share. But is that really "actual roles"? Do Arnie and Glover really want to be reduced to playing some stereotypical "wise old men" supporting role in the background while the main lead hogs all the glory?
Its what Dan himself said, he wants something "cool", something that is still very much Predator, but something we haven't seen before. What would that mean for Arnie and Glover?

yes.because them acting out action heroes would only work in an animated series or a video game. Fullstop.
Elderly....well that means they would need to fess up to another person in the starring role seat and even if Arnie and Glover steals the show, it would have to be an engrossing script are a 10part tv series with lots involved with them. Arnold proved that he could do a tv series. Glover, I"m sure he could too as a supporting cast. With the material in Predator: Stalking Shadows, possibly there is enough material hear for him to be involved.

I've seen some shakier sources (like World of Reel) reporting with Hulu's name attached, though I'm not sure how much I believe that.
Romulus going theatrical gives me hope that if/when
Prey gets a follow-up, that'll be theatrical as well.
We pretty much knew something was in development for a while now. with the writers strike over though they can get back into working on it.

Isn't there another movie out the previous year as Prey called Prey? Could be the sequel to that. Even Arnold's new movie announcement comes off the heals of another movie just released with the same ass name and has pretty much the same premise. Some weird shit going on right now.
Preys
My hot take on Prey2: Prey$ Electric Boogaloo... is that they should go back to using the Predator name.
(because Naru has more than earned it).

Easy, at least for Arnold, give him the Predator Hunter role we seen in Predator Hunting Grounds. It's already connected to all the films if you heard the lore tapes. He's been augmented with Predator white blood cells that rejuvenated him back to his youthful prime and his cells stopped aging. Seeing Terminator Dark Fate and the recent Expandables already have a mix of real time and CGI fighting choregraped scenes for Arnold so I can see the Predator Hunter role be filled quite easily.
For Glover, even if he doesn't have the DNA enhancements, he can not only be the mentor figure but also the wiser and stealthier = deadlier role. Don't need to go upfront 1v1 but rather just pure cunning and deception to hunt a Predator. If his recent reappearance in the short story Drug War is anything to go about, he can still chase down a Predator recently as 2022, so he isn't finished yet.

Maybe...I don't know...it depends on execution. What works in the novels/comics/games may not work on film if the execution isn't done well.

A connection, to modernity seems the politics of correct. Prey 2 should connect to modernity, if only tangentially, because of the real life context of presumption, i.e. how the world is changing, and being overrun by terrorist elements.
However: Naru is too oblivious, depicted as too oblivious to the mythology of Predator that it feels right to somehow re-introduce her in the story, such as a modernity nod, i.e. characters in the modern world or modern story format acknowledge her own events

If true, I really dig the concept/setting. Always down for some WWII-set sci-fi/horror stuff (and definitely wouldn't object to seeing a Predator tearing through some Nazis).
Though, if it is true, it does feel like a bit of an odd choice to make Naru's descendant Navajo.
EDIT: A little bit of digging tells me that some Comanche were used as code talkers during WWII as well, so maybe the guy that got the scoop just assumed Navajo since they were the most prominent ones.

Which one? The only WWII Predator comic I can think of is the one where the Predator murders Nazis in Argentina or something.
QuoteIn December 1940 the army recruited the following seventeen Comanches to become code talkers: Charles Chibitty, Haddon Codynah, Robert Holder, Forrest Kassanavoid, Wellington Mihecoby, Perry Noyabad, Clifford Otitivo, Simmons Parker, Melvin Permansu, Elgin Red Elk, Roderick Red Elk, Albert Nahquaddy Jr., Larry Saupitty, Morris Tabbyetchy (Sunrise), Anthony Tabbytite, Ralph Wahnee, and Willie Yacheschi. Assigned to the Fourth Infantry Division's Fourth Signal Company at Fort Benning, Georgia, they received phone, radio, Morse code, and semaphore training.
In August 1941 they were placed under Lt. Hugh F. Foster to develop an unbreakable Comanche-language code. Foster provided approximately 250 specialized military terms for which the Comanches developed coded equivalents. Combined with standard Comanche, coded terms such as tutsahkuna' tawo'i' (sewing-machine gun [machine guns]), wakaree'e (turtle [tanks]) and Po'sa taiboo' (Crazy White Man [Hitler]) were developed. By October 30, 1941, the Comanche had completed their training and conducted field exercises in Louisiana soon thereafter.
Thirteen Comanche Code Talkers landed at Utah Beach during the Normandy invasion in France. Maintaining wire telephone lines and sending secure messages via field telephone and radio, they served in France, Luxembourg, Belgium, and Germany. Their service included important battles at Cherbourg, St. Lo, Paris, the Siegfried Line, the Huertgen Forest, and Bastogne. Although several were wounded in action, none were killed. The Comanche code was never broken.

No, but I was actually mistaken, There was a comic about the predators in World War I
Kinda related, there's a Alien fan film that's set in WWI coming out.
The narration in the trailer is really bad, but otherwise it looks fairly decent for a fan film.
IF it is true, then there's a few things to consider; Could the character be a woman and also played by Amber? or could things be more complicated then that? Does the character have the pistol or has it already been collected by Greyback? etc.

Not familiar with the source so I have no idea how is this any more legit than other rumors that I've been hearing about.
That being said, while I look forward to a war setting Predator film, I fear trying to connect this film with Predator by saying Billy is a descendent of Naru via his WWII grandfather or something. Not everything has to be connect and can be stand alone events. I'm still hoping for The Korean War film but if it's WWII, hopefully it's the Pacific Theatre. Hotter and more gritter there.

Figured as much. Also felt too soon to have a big leak like this.
If it's true, it'll be be the pacific WW2 campaign with Japan, as the code talkers weren't used against the germans, who learned to broke their codes after WW1. I'd rather see the WW2 script penned by the Thomas bros, it would be absolutely cool to see their Battle of the Bulge script become a movie, an american and a german squad, are cut loose from their regiments in forest of the Ardennes ,and as they fight each others, a predator comes to hunt them down.

But seems this topic is somewhat sensitive, and it's being ditched from the new Predator collection.
Really, why?
