Next up for the Alien and Predator franchises are a TV series led by Noah Hawley and a new film titled Prey respectively. Both stories appear to be breaking away from previous instalments and looking to expand their universes' horizons. While all that sounds like a refreshing change of pace, there may be something worth recovering from the pasts of these two iconic space creatures. So, should Disney reboot Alien vs. Predator?

Yes. Yes, they should.

[Sol]

Hard yes.

[BigDaddyJohn]

Let's not make it PG 13 please.

[Nightmare Asylum]

I'd be much happier if the franchises stayed in separate lanes.

Prey seems to finally be getting the Predator series back on track in exciting ways after the last couple movies, Covenant molded the Alien prequels into something I'm genuinely interested in, and the Hawley show has me feeling pretty cautiously optimistic right now.

Not itching for a crossover anytime soon.

Please let this idea die, and we dont get another avp movie.

[Local Trouble]

As if Disney would turn down the opportunity for another shared universe...

[Kradan]

Make another AvP movie, hell yeah. But do it right this time

[SiL]

Eight more years to go and I'm set.

[Local Trouble]

Time to start pre-production?

So you mean a direct adaptation of the original comic, with any sequels swerving hard away from War, then, right?

I've already got ADI doing concepts.

No, a 1:1 faithful adaptation of DOTS.

I don't care too much about adapting original comics. Just treat creatures with more respect than two monsters punching each other. They should feel like a mythological beasts that fought for centuries, please no Predators encountering Aliens for the first time bullshit. I might get heat for it, but as far as, lore additions go, I think 2004 movie did a good job. I love whole "ancient aliens" angle of it, Predators teaching humans how to build pyramids, re-nterpreting sacrificial rituals of civilisations long gone as being merely a part of Predators hunting routine etc. I would love these concepts being explored further by a better filmmaker



Oh, and set it in the future

But do it right this time

Any sreenwriter who would be able to make sense out of that comic alredy worthy of some award

[Local Trouble]

It may be the only thing that'll lure SM out of seclusion.
