The world is getting a lot of new Predator content, whether we’re ready for it or not. Recently, we learned that 20th Century Studios plans to expand the Predator universe and that another eventual crossover with the Alien franchise is likely inevitable. It’s like it’s the early aughts all over again! But within all of this, there will not only be a new Predator theatrical film from Dan Trachtenberg, but a second, secret streaming Predator movie, too. And according to some rumors, the exact shape of that project isn’t quite what anyone thought.
According to io9, “multiple sources” have revealed that the secret 2025 Predator project is actually an “animated feature,” but the twist is that it’s “almost an anthology,” and will tell “three separate stories of Predators fighting warriors in multiple eras.” If this ends up coming to pass, it’s a great direction for the Predator franchise, and not just because animated anthologies are cool. But also because animated anthologies set within a pre-determined fictional universe are freeing.
