Predator’s Ultimate Secret Weapon Revealed

by

As a die-hard fan, what truly sets apart “Predator: Killer of Killers” among the Predator series is an understated yet pivotal weapon seldom wielded by the Yautja. In the realm of Predator movies, this one might just stand out as the most distinctive. Being the first anthology film in the franchise, “Predator: Killer of Killers” promises adventures to unfamiliar locations and time periods that none of the other films have explored before.

The Predator movies’ backstory is quite extensive, and keeping things consistent when incorporating additional sources like comics and video games can be challenging. Balancing the existing lore with new generations of stories for Predator: Killer of Killers will be quite an achievement if done effectively. However, with all that the movie aims to accomplish, it’s already been announced to significantly extend the franchise’s lore in a specific manner.

Predator: Killer Of Killers Will Finally Give Us Air-To-Air Combat

The WWII Sequence Will Deliver Something Rarely Seen Before

What made Prey stand out was its exploration of how the franchise could span various timelines. The upcoming film, Predator: Killer of Killers, plans to capitalize on this idea by delving into the Yautjas’ activities on Earth throughout multiple generations. One intriguing aspect that has been unveiled is that the movie’s World War II segment will feature an airborne battle between a Predator and human aviators. Despite Predator ships being seen often in movies, this type of scene hasn’t been shown before.

If we consider what’s to come based on the teaser, it seems quite captivating so far. The initial glimpse from Hulu hints at a Predator revealing itself before enemy aircraft, presumably for a balanced confrontation. Notably, in this trailer, the Predator appears to aim at an enemy plane, launching a harpoon that pierces through the craft and extracts the pilot from it, which is a previously unseen technology in Predator mythology. Although we haven’t seen Prey 2 yet, the trailer for Predator: Killer of Killers demonstrates that director Dan Trachtenberg is not content with resting on his past successes in the Predator series.

I Can Only Imagine How Powerful The Predator Ship Is In Combat

Other Media Has Made Their Firepower Out To Be Devastating

In 2025, we might see an expansion of the Predator universe as two new movies are set to release. So far, the Predator films have primarily shown their spaceships being used offensively, utilizing what were essentially defensive mechanisms. The Predator’s ship was armed with shields that could be weaponized, a concept previously seen in the 1991 comic “Predator: Big Game”. Other media has not explored this aspect extensively; however, aerial combat is occasionally depicted in the comic books, suggesting that the ships’ firepower should not be underestimated.

In comic books such as “Predator: Bad Blood” and “Batman Versus Predator”, the Yautja warriors exhibit an impressive ability to effortlessly destroy their own spaceships during aerial combat. However, the JLA vs Predator encounter doesn’t quite fit this category, as the Predator in question transformed into a ship by borrowing Plastic Man’s powers and growing guns for some unexplained reason. The upcoming comic “Predator: Killers of Killers” will provide us with our first genuine portrayal of aerial combat between Predators and humans. Judging from the glimpses we’ve received so far, any human who manages to bring down that ship can rightfully be hailed as a hero.
