Prey (2022)
Our marathon starts with the surprisingly compelling prequel, Prey, directed by Dan Trachtenberg. This film is set in the early 18th century, and it's the Yautja's first hunt on Earth. What makes it stand out? It's set against the backdrop of the Comanche Nation, and features the fierce survival skills of the protagonist, Naru (Amber Midthunder), and an intense showdown with a primitive yet deadly Predator (Dane DiLiegro). This isn't your typical action movie. It's a smart, atmospheric survival story that sets the stage perfectly. And yes, the iconic Predator mask, heat vision, and wrist blades make their appearance.
Predator (1987)
After Prey, we're diving into the jungle with the 1987 classic, Predator, directed by John McTiernan. This is where it all started. Arnie plays Dutch, and the rest of the cast is pretty memorable too. You've got Carl Weathers as Dillon and Bill Duke as Mac. Oh, and Kevin Peter Hall is the original Predator. This film is the perfect example of 80s action with a sci-fi twist, and it totally changed the game for the genre. The cloaking technology, plasma caster, and that unforgettable mud scene are all now just a part of the movie's history. You really should see it if you want to understand and appreciate the trophy-hunting alien.
Predator 2 (1990)
From the jungle to the city, Predator 2 moves the hunt to a sweltering Los Angeles amidst a gang war. Stephen Hopkins directed this one, and it stars Danny Glover as detective Mike Harrigan, who finds a threat that's way more dangerous than just rival gangs. The film goes deeper into the Yautja code of honor and adds to the Predator mythology. Keep an eye on the trophies in the spaceship at the end—that's where the AVP crossover starts to take shape.
Alien vs. Predator (2004)
Next up is the franchise's first crossover event: Alien vs. Predator, or AVP for short. In this scene, two sci-fi giants go head-to-head in an ancient temple beneath Antarctica, and we get to watch the epic battle between Xenomorph and Predator. This film looks at the Yautja clans, their trophy skull collection, and their ancient connection to Earth. It's an exciting show to see humans try to survive between these two deadly species. It's not the most in-depth in terms of lore, but it's a must-watch in your marathon.
Alien vs. Predator: Requiem (2007)
While AVP was grand and mythological, Alien vs. Predator: Requiem is a bit of a dark ride, to be honest. It's set in a small town trying to contain the chaos, and it's got a grittier, more focused on pure sci-fi horror vibe. It's not everyone's cup of tea, but it's a must-have for the full AVP story. And trust us, you'll want to see what happens with the Predalien.
Predators (2010)
With Predators, we return to the roots with a twist. Director Nimród Antal brings a group of elite killers, including Adrien Brody (Royce), Alice Braga (Isabelle), and Laurence Fishburne (Noland), to a mysterious game reserve planet. Here, the Yautja hunt on their own turf. This film brings us the super Predator Berserker and gives us more info about Predator hierarchies. The atmosphere is raw, tense, and filled with paranoia. Don't miss the Yakuza Hanzo vs. Predator scene—it's pure cinematic gold.
The Predator (2018)
Shane Black, who appeared in the original film, returns to the franchise as director of The Predator. This installment tries out some genetically engineered hybrid Predators and brings in Predator dogs. The cast, with Boyd Holbrook (Quinn McKenna) and Olivia Munn (Casey Bracket), is up against a threat that's both alien and human. People have different opinions on where it's headed, but it's a big step for the franchise. Plus, the Predator tech is at its most innovative here.
Killer of Killers (2025)
Even though Predator is still in development, Killer of Killers is already getting a lot of attention from fans. It's a return to classic hunting themes, but with a twist: what if a Predator hunts its own kind? Get ready for more info about Yautja Prime, the homeworld, and maybe even rival Yautja clans with different honor codes. Until we get more info, this is a pretty exciting part of the expanded universe.
Predator: Badlands (2025)
Also unreleased, Predator: I've heard that Badlands mixes western elements with the usual Predator action. Picture Prey, but with cowboys, bounty hunters, and maybe even an outlaw on the run. If it follows in Prey's footsteps, expect a richly crafted atmosphere with a fresh setting and new weaponry. A fitting finale for your marathon... once it's available.
Whether you're a fan of creature features, sci-fi action, horror, or simply can't get enough of the Predator franchise, this viewing order offers a comprehensive overview. You'll get to explore the Yautja race from their first steps on Earth to their roles as intergalactic hunters. Let's be real: what's better than a weekend filled with trophy-hunting aliens, heat vision, and plasma blasts?
So, get your snacks ready, silence your phone (Predators react to sound, just saying), and dive into one of the most iconic sci-fi franchises ever. This is your ultimate Predator movie marathon. Time to hunt.
