Hulu has dropped a couple of new stills from Prey and, as you can see, we finally have a proper look at that awesome new Predator design.
If you've watched the movie, and you really should have done by now, then you'll know this Predator is an absolute beast. Sure, the shiny armour is missing, but taking it back to its roots has made the iconic alien feel more relevant than ever before. After a number of disappointing movies, that was sorely needed.
This take definitely looks less sci-fi and more like an ancient warrior, but that makes sense when this story is set hundreds of years before the events of 1987's Predator. While the hunter still came to Earth aboard a spaceship (obviously), the Predator's technology doesn't appear to be quite as advanced at this point in time.
That puts them on more of an equal footing with our planet's inhabitants, and if all-out war is on the horizon (it certainly looks to be the case), then that should make things very interesting.
Since being released on Hulu last Friday, there's been an overwhelmingly positive response to Prey. It's the best-reviewed Predator movie according to Rotten Tomatoes, and we have to believe that sequel news is on the way. Ultimately, that will come down to whether the reboot was a hit in terms of viewership across Hulu in the U.S. and Disney+ overseas.
In our review, we concluded by saying, "Prey delivers pure Predator pandemonium, and is the Predator franchise at its best. It's also a much-needed fresh start for the series that allows Amber Midthunder to shine in a role that promises to put her on the map."
