I don't recall the Predator franchise ever calling the Predators the ultimate hunter/killer. They come to Earth for a simple reason, to hunt the most dangerous game.
Currently the humans are the most dangerous life on earth and thus the Predators are always hunting humans because we are a challenge they seek.

When not hunting on Earth, they hunt other similarly dangerous creatures across the cosmos, like xenomorphs for a classic example, HUMANS ARE NOT SPECIAL!

Maybe a point is missed here as the predator keeps returning to earth because it isn't the ultimate hunter/killer..we are!) 

I really had my doubts about this movie but after seeing that trailer I’m way more enthusiastic for it than I was for The Predator.

Granted, I was optimistic about the last one, but this does look excellent.

I am cautiously optimistic now after seeing the teaser, it already looks better than The Predator, Shane Black needs a restraining order and be kept away from the Predator Franchise 

I remain excited for the film, but this scene looks HORRIBLE. Like, the film looks UGLY. It looks poorly shot and there is no... LOOK to the film, you know? I guess bland is a way to put it. It is one moment that may or may not look better in context with the rest of it... But this doesn't give me confidence in how good it will be

I don't think it's going to be any better because the best fights are when your openents looks like theyy can kick your ass easy and a woman shows no respect for all the predator's Galactic warrior catalog. and she just got a bad attitude..not fair so its going to suck on that part but the actions seens may be good.

I need to see some trails to make an honest opinion but on what I had seen at read so far its going to be no better then the Shane Blacks. its an action monster sci fi film but black was based to much on comedy and the characters weren't established in connection to what the first Predator 

its like the own producers do not respect that the Predator is the star who dhows upto fuck up everybody now its focus on one perpose all.the last one should of take on the cops cause they intervene then take on all until last one...badass shit.. nobody wants to see basic , unfit looking unskilled people taking on a well seasoned warrior. that's lame and the predator looks corny and getting killed by them is weak.

which is not parallel to the first flim.

I can't really decide, all of these Yautja look great, yes including Scar

I always enjoyed the original, Jungle Hunter, Stan Winston’s creature is the most iconic and imo, has the best aesthetic proportions, the mandibles aren't too eggaderated like in AvP. I loved that they brought it back for Predators (2010) in the form of the Crucified Predator.

Second favorite would be City Hunter though and then, I will add Fugitive Predator from THE PREDATOR being my third pick.

Yeah, the Predator Killer was a dumb idea as was as if Shane Black wanted to canonicalize AVP and uplift AVP into the MCU

Hollywood is too busy being politically correct to have an imagination and worried over profits 

uh me for sure.  I want a whole sort of foreign language film focused on a clan, no humans at all or maybe only as a plot device.  Hollywood don't wanna take that risk and use their damn imagination though.  Sometimes I wonder why the writers spent time in university only to reject all imagination after graduating with few exception, like Del Toro and Tarentino are shining examples of how to be.  It's sad they are so exceptional.

@jd87 , you are not only one who want to see the TRUTH :) . I think in a REAL  encounter with humans , Predator will be like Spanish conquistadors wich kill ALL aztecs , or White ppl kill ALL red skin indians .... They have no chance with BOW against FIREARMS .  But it seems producers believe bow are stronger than energy weapons, radars,infrared vision ...etc  :( 

Next movie will be with an kid ? Maybe an 7 years old (kevin wich forget him mom in jungle...) will kill a Predator ??? I am very sad the Predator became a joke :( 

Sry for my opinion ,...

i like this post, this is really good

You guys needs to show more respect to the abilities of the Predator fighting against all these weaklings..with the first you where in suspense and a mystery and both soldiers and predator were bosses in their field so u Didn't know who going to be on top.seeing big Arnold hiding in mud now understanding the attributes of the Predator and had to use his surroundings and experiance to triumph..

the new Predator you are like and am sure Predator wouldn't have a problem with them .then you see it you like qth is this. lol no way she(Indian girl)  ,Roddie , The black guy  suppose to beat that Pred. bullshit..walk out cinema like the duck was that.it was a clear win for pred. and the humans were very weak.

I am on the FENCE with this.....

It depends on Execution and so i DOUBT it would be as BAD as The Predator (WHICH WAS AWFUL). That Movies Plot was GOOD... it worked... the Writing of the Script the Execution of it and the Stupidness in some of the TECH and the Goofyness of some of the Movie made it AWFUL..... shame as the Barebones of the Plot Worked.

With PREY its too Early to tell...... The Plot could be Interesting, the Effects....  but it Depends on the Execution and i think we have some HOPE that this Movie should be more SERIOUS.

But i kinda have a Hunch where this is going... and well it may RUB some People up the Wrong Way.... but it could give a NEW Dimension to the Predators Technology ;)

I think its too early to tell 

That being said, I sure hope its better than Shane Black's atrocious attempts at making a Predator movie.

mailia,
Nothing in Dan Trachtenberg's resume suggests it could possibly be anything as awful as The Predator without overwhelming studio meddling.

G. H. (Gman)

Yes we finally agree on something

I miss the answer: "It will be bad equally". :D Well, maybe it will be a bit better, because the main predator will be a classic predator played by an actor in the suit. But the story will be stupid equally. I can't help myself I feel a big feminist cliché from that. (Lately, it has not been very successful to write a good and believable main female character.)

Yes.

On the count that The Predator is as low of a bar as you could achieve in not just this franchise, but many others.

great!

Lack of charm at the very least

Heat is desired because it makes the flesh warmer and easier to detect not because they have some heat love.

They like conflicts and wars because in these situations those who are alpha are better recognizable, and they want to hunt alphas, leaders, they analyze before they hunt - your inteligence, leadership and tactics, then they reveal themselves if you are smart enough to survive the first attack. Usually all your associates are first to be killed, to provoke you, to make this matter more personal, to involve you in the fight where you actually want to fight and not give up, aswell as lower your chance to survive, to make you aware that you are being hunted aswell etc. So one way to look at it its fair, you do have the means to defend and to defeat the hunter, he made you aware of him as a threat. Its kill or be killed.

They dont just come to a village in summer and start blasting people. There is no honour and no challenge. They kill those who are willing to kill others, and the more you are capable to do this the more honour they have when they slaughter you.

The new movie must have some conflict in the story, perhaps tribes against tribes prologue and then the "watchers" choose to hunt those who are worthy to hunt.

"This odd formation of branches and bones, we assume could be part of a lair or Predator hunting camp"

This looks like a BIG FOOT Structure....

Maybe this Movie will Indicate that the Predators are where the SKIN WALKERS and Big Foot Mythos had Originated.

Thats my BET ;)

we need a Predator protagonist for the next movie

Looking forward to seeing images of this! Please do keep us updated!

that's unfair

That sucks

I think maybe a Compromise could be Reached... if NOT then while Disney can not use the Predator.... the Thomas Brothers will also likely NOT be able to use the likeness of the Yautja so its like a LOOSE/LOOSE situation.

Well when they Purchased the Rights then the PREDATOR Franchise was a BIG reason for them doing so......

The Thomas Brothers are likely looking to make some $$$$ because WHY NOT... they had Created a Iconic Character..... One that makes MONEY to this Day.

They however do-not OWN the Visual Look of the Predator and so Disney could just re-brand the Franchise a Different Name and give a Back Story to the Yautja

Then that leave the Thomas Brothers with their IDEA that they could maybe get someone to Continue with but then NOT be able to USE the Iconic Appearance of the Predator.

A WIN/WIN would be a Compromise and Royalties for Future use of the Predator Character.  But Disney could go and give us a Movie where the Yautja do-not go Hunting and there would be NOT a lot that the Thomas Brothers could do about that.

But this would be kind of like taking away the Egg and Face Hugger stage of the Xenomorph in a ROW between say O'Bannons Estate and Disney...  the name ALIEN, and Xenomorph and Aesthetically how they look would be Nothing to do with O'Bannons ideas and design for instance.

I hope the Predator movie can escape from the grasps of Disney, sadly Alien couldn't do the same

Even though I'm not a predator guy I hope that the creators win. Disney didn't invent it, they just own it. Big sigh

If this is true it shows that Disney is only in it for money. Weyland Yutani anyone?

Agree.

Hope the original owners win, because screw disney and their politics!

There was some Pretty Interesting Concepts for sure
