The Predator franchise came roaring back with the release of Prey on Hulu a few years back. And we’ll be getting another entry soon with the upcoming Predator: Badlands. But before that happens, the alien hunters will return in a new animated anthology movie, Predator: Killer of Killers. The director of Prey, Dan Trachtenberg, returns to direct this latest installment in the iconic sci-fi action series. His co-director is Josh Wassung from animation company The Third Floor. You can watch the first trailer for Predator: Killer of Killers, as well as read the official synopsis, down below:

The anthology story follows three of the fiercest warriors in human history: a Viking raider guiding her young son on a bloody quest for revenge, a ninja in feudal Japan who turns against his Samurai brother in a brutal battle for succession, and a WWII pilot who takes to the sky to investigate an otherworldly threat to the Allied cause. But while all these warriors are killers in their own right, they are merely prey for their new opponent – the ultimate killer of killers.

And here is the first look at the official poster for Predator: Killer of Killers as well:

Having the Predator battle humans from different times in Earth’s history is a genius idea. We remain surprised that it took so long to come to fruition. One thing’s for sure when it comes to this series now. Between this film and Trachtenberg’s Prey, we now know the Predators have been hunting humans on Earth way before ever meeting Arnold Schwarzenegger out in the jungle back in the ’80s. With what’s happening with this series as well as Alien: Romulus and Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, Twentieth Century Studios has really given their iconic sci-fi franchises a new lease on life.

Predator: Killer of Killers premieres exclusively on Hulu on June 6 and, if its trailer is any indication, it will be a wild adventure.
