The Predator franchise is gearing up for another action-packed year, with a major twist. Not only are fans eagerly awaiting the next live-action film, Predator: Badlands, hitting theaters in November, but a surprise animated feature has also been announced — Predator: Killer of Killers.
Unveiled with a pulse-pounding trailer on April 8, 2025, this animated movie promises to bring a fresh, intense take on the Predator universe. Co-directed by Dan Trachtenberg, the visionary director behind Prey (2022), and Josh Wassung, Killer of Killers introduces a new chapter of the alien hunter saga. Here's what you need to know about this exciting new film.
Predator: Killer of Killers is an animated anthology film, consisting of three intense stories that span different points in history. These tales revolve around some of the most fierce warriors in human history — but they’re not just fighting human foes. They’re facing off against the galaxy's most cunning and deadly hunters: the Predators.
The three interconnected stories include:
What ties them all together? The terrifying Predators, lurking in the shadows, hunting the strongest of the strong across time. These events take place before the original Predator movie from 1987, just like Prey was set in the 1700s.
Predator: Killer of Killers premieres on June 6, 2025, exclusively on Hulu. This makes it the second Predator movie to land on the streaming platform after the highly successful Prey became a massive hit in 2022.
The Predator franchise has a rich history, and 2025 is shaping up to be a major year for fans, with the animated feature and the live-action Predator: Badlands both releasing this year. Hulu is also home to Alien: Earth, which will further expand the Aliens and Predator universes.
The voice cast of Predator: Killer of Killers includes a mix of talented actors:
These actors bring their unique talents to the characters, adding depth to the animated warriors they voice.
The Predator: Killer of Killers trailer shows the alien hunters engaged in bloody and brutal battles across three unique settings: Viking-era landscapes, the intense world of feudal Japan, and the skies over World War II. The trailer showcases the fierce warriors who will try to outsmart and defeat the Predators. In one gripping moment, a Viking warrior tells her son, "We must kill it, or it will kill us all."
For director Dan Trachtenberg, working on this animated project allowed for more creative freedom. He noted that the animation style would provide a fresh take on the Predator formula while still keeping the iconic action and carnage fans love.
Fans of the Predator franchise can stream all the movies on Hulu. Here’s the chronological order to watch them:
