The culture of the creatures at the center of the Predator franchise has been well established across various forms of media, and one of the most noteworthy practices of their honor-based hunting culture is their skinning of certain victims. The Predator movie franchise has seen the alien hunters kill across different time periods and on different planets, and over time more information has been revealed about what motivates the species known as the Yautja. Their honor-based culture involves finding, killing. and taking trophies from other organisms that they deem to be worthy, dangerous adversaries.

While the future of the franchise remains unknown, Alice Braga is weighing in on a potential Predators 2. Braga starred in the 2010 film as a sniper from the Israel Defense Forces who finds herself on an alien planet with others who have no memory of their arrival, and find themselves hunted by the eponymous killers. Produced by Rodriguez, Predators garnered mixed-to-positive reviews and was a modest box office success, paving the way to explore a direct sequel.

Warning! This article contains spoilers for Predator Vol. 2 #5The current state of Predator continuity is redefining what fans thought they knew about the lore established in the previous films, and the latest addition is no exception, as Predator’s new twist transforms the entire meaning of the third movie (specifically, the ending).

The heroine of Prey, Naru, is a formidable warrior, and there could be some epic battles indeed if she met the other heroes of the Predator franchise. Prey sees a Yautja hunter arrive on Earth in the 18th century, with Comanche warrior Naru (Amber Midthunder) stepping up to battle the creature to save her people. Prey proved to be one of the best-received Predator movies ever made, and with the movie's end-credits teasing Prey 2, it seems likely that Naru will step into another Yautja showdown in the near future.

A forgotten piece of lore from the 2010 film Predators has been completely transformed in the current run of Predator comics from Marvel. 2010's Predators by Nimród Antal and Alex Litvak is a film that saw eight different people dropped into a mysterious forest and facing countless Predators in a terrifying game of cat-and-mouse. While some dismissed the entry for being more of the same, it actually expanded the lore more than people thought by revealing that the Predators actually kidnapped these characters and brought them to a gaming preserve in space to hunt them. This was huge at the time because it showed that the Predators don't just choose where to hunt. It's a piece of lore in the Predator mythos that has sadly been forgotten more and more as time goes on, but a teaser for the next arc in the Predator comics is bringing it back and redefining it.

With Predators 2 seemingly dead in the water, here’s everything we know about the canceled sequel. Following the original Predator (starring Arnold Schwarzenegger) and Predator 2, fans have had to make do with two poorly-received crossover films, Alien vs. Predator and Alien vs. Predator: Requiem — then Predators came along. Based on a concept from the early '90s by Robert Rodriguez, Predators (2010) followed a group of Earth’s most dangerous killers, abducted and parachuted onto an alien planet as game for the titular hunters. Royce (Adrien Brody) and Isabelle (Alice Braga) lead the charge, fighting for their lives, and are the only humans left standing when the credits roll. It’s harmless fun, and even if it didn’t take full advantage of Rodriguez’s high-concept premise, it is notable for introducing the idea of warring Predator tribes and gangs to the franchise.
