Prey

Prey’sconnection to theAlienfranchise drags up an unanswered question about both sci-fi franchises.

Serving as a prequel to the entire Predator series, Prey is set in the world of the Comanche Nation 300 years ago. The action-thriller follows Naru, the skilled warrior who fiercely protects her tribe against a highly evolved alien predator. The film will also reveal the origin of the Predator warrior race’s descent to Earth for the first time. Naru will have to utilize the tools of her time to combat a threat with skills and weapons that exist far beyond her time.

In fairness, it would be hard to sneak one in, given the premise of the 2024 sequel.

If anything, the last three entries have drifted further and further away fromAlien vs Predator.

It wouldnt be in the way you think.
