After years of sequels to 1987's Predator, we're finally rewarded with the 80s classic, Prey.
Currently streaming on Disney+ in the UK and Hulu in the US, Prey is well worth checking out if you haven't already. Set in 1719, the film tells the story of Naru, a skilled Comanche warrior who protects his tribe (and his dog) from a Predator that falls from the sky.
Critics praised the film for its back-to-basics approach and excellent all-around direction from Dan Trachtenburg (10 Cloverfield Lane), so it's no surprise that many people are now hoping for a sequel.
But will there be a Prey 2? Or will this film franchise take a different direction if a sequel is announced? Here's what we know.
Will there be a Prey 2?
At the time of writing, there is no news of a Prey sequel. There is no confirmed news of any other film in the Predator franchise.
It's no surprise that there's no news of a Prey sequel since the movie just got released. However, there is a high chance of a sequel.
With Prey being a hit with both critics and broadcast audiences, 20th Century Studios would be foolish to rule out a sequel. A sequel would please fans and bring in money for the studio so a sequel to Prey would make sense.
Admittedly, this isn't a direct sequel to Prey, hinting at another setting for the Predator franchise - perhaps a period drama called Pride and Prey - but Prey's end credits suggest a continuation of the events of the first film. movie.
What happens in the end credits?
There is no post or mid-credits scene, but the animated credits at the end of the film recap the events of Prey. As these credits roll to the end, there's a moment not seen in the movie - Naru looks up into the sky to see another Predator spaceship.
What could that mean?
Well, since Naru has proven herself to be a worthy opponent in battle, it may be that the other Predators are eager to take her on in battle. Or they may simply want revenge on him for killing one of their own.
When is Prey 2 coming out?
It's hard to say anything at this point as the film hasn't been confirmed. But if the studio wants to capitalize on the success of Prey, the film could be fast-tracked into production for 2023 or 2024 at the latest. This is just speculation, but if we hear news about a sequel and a release date, we'll update this page with new information.
Who will be in Prey 2?
If a direct sequel is made, Amber Midthunder will return as Naru. But since their heroes perished at the hands of the Predator in the first film, we're unlikely to see many of the other cast members return.
Julian Black Antelope (Chief Kehetu) and Aruka Michelle Thrush (Aruka) were the two exceptions, so we'll probably see them again if a sequel is greenlit. Coco, the American dingo who took over the role of Naru's dog Sari, will also hopefully return.
That's all we know for now, but keep visiting this page for updated information.
