‘Prey 2’? – Dan Trachtenberg Comments on the Possibility of More ‘Predator’ Movies Down the Road
We just passed the one year anniversary of the Hulu debut of Prey, which has proven to be a massive success for the streaming service. The film is up for SIX awards at this year’s Emmys, a rare honor for the horror genre that proves just how good last year’s return of the Predator franchise really was. You’d have to imagine Disney wants a sequel at this point, right?
But what are the chances that we get another Predator movie in the coming years? And would such a movie continue the storyline from Prey, or was that a one-shot experience?
Speaking with The Playlist in a new interview that just ran, Prey director Dan Trachtenberg notes that he’s never personally stopped thinking about where the saga could go next.
“I can’t really say anything about that right now, but I’ll say while we were finishing the movie, we were having really exciting conversations,” Trachtenberg tells the outlet. “The studio, myself, the writer, and the producers about what crazy things could we do next.”
He adds, “And I’ve never stopped, no one stopped thinking about how cool things could be going forward.”
In other words, while nothing is ready to be announced at this time, Prey 2 is very much a possibility. And we’d be extremely surprised if Disney doesn’t pull the trigger on it soon.
Stay tuned for more on a possible Prey continuation as we learn it.
Amber Midthunder stars in Hulu’s Prey as a Comanche woman who goes against gender norms and traditions to become a warrior, bravely taking down a Predator in the process.
One of this summer’s most hotly anticipated new movies is A24 and Ti West’s MaXXXine, a follow-up to X and Pearl that brings Mia Goth’s title character into the 1980s.
With her past catching up to her, Maxine attempts to make it big as a superstar in Hollywood, 1985. While you wait, check out a new image below courtesy of USA Today this week.
Releasing in theaters on July 5, 2024, MaXXXine is rated “R” for…
“Strong violence, gore, sexual content, graphic nudity, language and drug use.”
If you missed the official trailer, you can watch it right here.
Mia Goth stars alongside Elizabeth Debicki, Moses Sumney, Michelle Monaghan, Bobby Cannavale, Halsey, Lily Collins, Giancarlo Esposito and Kevin Bacon in MaXXXine.
Here’s the official plot synopsis from A24 this week: “In 1980s Hollywood, adult film star and aspiring actress Maxine Minx finally gets her big break. But as a mysterious killer stalks the starlets of Hollywood, a trail of blood threatens to reveal her sinister past.”
Last we saw Maxine in Ti West’s X (2022), she was the sole survivor of a massacre carried out by elderly couple Howard and Pearl in the Summer of ’79. Goth of course pulled double duty as the villain Pearl in that movie, who got her own origin story in Pearl (2022). Pearl and Maxine are different characters, but they share the common goal of wanting to be stars.
Will Maxine finally make it in Hollywood? Or will the demons of her past become her ultimate downfall? With the Night Stalker roaming free, we expect MaXXXine to get wild this summer.
