It Concerns Me That Predator's Next Movie Is Exactly The Opposite Of 2022's Excellent Prey

The next entry in the Predator franchise, Predator: Badlands, is poised for a vast departure from the elements of the surprise hit Prey, which already has me concerned. Prey was released directly on Hulu in 2022, and was showered with critical acclaim en route to becoming one of the streaming platforms' most-watched movies in the period after its release. It provided a much-needed refresh for the franchise after a string of underwhelming adventures, and rekindled interest from both studios and moviegoers in the race of vicious yet honorable alien hunters at the center of the Predator movies.
