Late yesterday, 20th Century Studios debuted the first teaser trailer for its upcoming Predator prequel, Prey. Accompanying the new footage was also a concrete release date. Yes, the much-anticipated sci-fi film is locked in for an August 5 launch exclusively on Hulu in the US and Disney+ in the UK.
Feel free to take gander at the brand-new Prey trailer down below:
As you can see above, the story centers on a Comanche warrior who is pitted against the iconic extraterrestrial species in an 18th century setting. Interestingly, Prey aims to shed light on the first ever visit to Earth from the trophy-obsessed hunters. Of course, the lack of modern firepower may prove to be a challenge, but the native tribes appear to have a few handy tricks up their sleeve.
Helmed by 10 Cloverfield Lane‘s Dan Trachtenberg, and starring Legion’s Amber Midthunder, Prey attempts to buck traditional “gender norms” by placing the spotlight on a sole female survivor who must go toe-to-toe with one of cinema’s most deadly sci-fi monsters.
Previously titled Skulls, Prey was originally going to be marketed with no reference to the titular space hunters, but the studio changed its mind during production.
For more information, here’s an official rundown courtesy of 20th Century Studios:
Prey is scheduled to release on August 5 exclusively on Hulu in the US and Disney+ in the UK.
