Prey was met with widespread acclaim when it launched on Hulu last July, and star Amber Midthunder has since confirmed that sequel talks are underway. The actress played Naru in the reboot, with her Comanche warrior encountering the deadly aliens in that 1700s setting, leading to a vastly different, very exciting, take on a franchise which had grown stale.
The end credits pointed to Naru's tribe going to war with an entire army of invading Predators, so it's possible we'll follow that story or even jump ahead a few years to witness the fallout of whatever came next.
During a recent interview with Collider, Midthunder talked more about what could be next for the warrior and shared a few hints about where she thinks a sequel could go.
"The movie is such a journey...I think it's a hope for the best, prepare for the worst kind of a situation," the actress says. "I think that it feels as though they're not gonna come back, but there are ultimately obviously all kinds of threats out there that are unforeseen."
"Even like the French fur trappers in that interaction and stuff like that, those are all discoveries of things that are out there that they had no idea about. So I think that it's not necessarily preparing for more predators or whatever; I think it's just there [are] unforeseen threats and we gotta be ready."
Since Prey's release on Hulu last summer, fans have made it clear they want a follow-up.
It also remains the best-reviewed Predator movie according to Rotten Tomatoes, and we're pretty sure sequel news is on the way. Ultimately, that will come down to whether the reboot was a hit in terms of viewership, though we've previously heard that it was.
In our own review of the movie, we wrapped up 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."
Prey is now streaming on Hulu. Keep checking back here for sequel news as we have it.
