Predator Animated: Lord of Slaughter Trailer Released, Two New Predator Films Coming in 2025
A thrilling new trailer for the animated film “Predator: Lord of Slaughter” has just dropped, giving fans a glimpse of what to expect when it premieres exclusively on Hulu on June 6, 2025. This release marks just one part of an exciting expansion of the Predator franchise, with a live-action counterpart also in the works.
Two New Predator Adventures on the Horizon
Predator enthusiasts have much to look forward to in 2025, with a double helping of Alien Hunter action:
- “Predator: Lord of Slaughter” – An animated film arriving on Hulu on June 6
- “Predator: Badlands” – A live-action movie scheduled for theatrical release on November 7
Both projects are being helmed by director Dan Trachtenberg, who was previously widely praised for bringing new life into the Predator franchise with “Prey“.
Three Warriors, Three Time Periods, One Deadly Threat
The newly released trailer for “Predator: Lord of Slaughter” reveals an innovative approach to the franchise. It features three distinct storylines across different historical periods, all connected by humanity’s encounters with the formidable Predator species.
The animated film follows three remarkable warriors:
- A Viking warrior seeking bloody revenge, accompanied by her young son
- A Japanese ninja caught in a power struggle against his former samurai brothers
- A World War II pilot who encounters a mysterious alien threat during a crucial mission
Each protagonist faces unique circumstances, but all will ultimately confront the galaxy’s most feared hunters—and potentially multiple Predators simultaneously.
Continuing a Successful Formula
“Predator: Lord of Slaughter” appears to build on the successful formula established by Trachtenberg’s “Prey,” which was praised for its historical setting and fresh perspective on the franchise. By shifting to animation, the film offers a new visual dimension to these historical confrontations while maintaining the intense hunter-versus-hunted dynamic that defines the Predator series.
The animation format allows for expansive storytelling across multiple time periods, providing a unique opportunity to explore how different warriors from throughout human history might approach combat with these technologically advanced alien hunters.
