Our best look yet at the "Feral Predator" from 20th Century Studios' upcoming Prey recently came our way via a pair of new images, and thanks to another batch of promo stills courtesy of SFX Magazine (via AvP Galaxy), we have some more shots of the redesigned alien hunter as he faces-off with the Comanche warrior who will oppose him in the movie, Naru (Legion actress Amber Midthunder).
Prey is set a long time before the events of the original Predator, but while chatting to the mag, 10 Cloverfield Lane director Dan Trachtenberg pointed out that he doesn't necessarily view his film as a prequel at all.
“I want to specifically say this, because I think there’s been some confusion how people have understood: in my mind, this is not a prequel movie, this isn’t, ‘Let’s tell the origin of the Predator.’ This is really something that’s set prior to the original Predator movie. And the Predator creature in this one, this is its first time travelling to Earth.”

Set in the Comanche Nation 300 years ago, “Prey” is the story of a young woman, Naru, a fierce and highly skilled warrior. She has been raised in the shadow of some of the most legendary hunters who roam the Great Plains, so when danger threatens her camp, she sets out to protect her people. The prey she stalks, and ultimately confronts, turns out to be a highly evolved alien predator with a technically advanced arsenal, resulting in a vicious and terrifying showdown between the two adversaries.
Prey is directed by Dan Trachtenberg, written by Patrick Aison (Jack Ryan, Treadstone), and produced by John Davis (Jungle Cruise, The Predator) and Jhane Myers (Monsters of God), with Lawrence Gordon (Watchmen), Marty Ewing (It: Chapter Two), James E. Thomas, John C. Thomas and Marc Toberoff (Fantasy Island) serving as executive producers.
Prey is set to premiere on the Hulu streaming service on August 5. Keep an eye out for a new trailer very soon!
