Dan Trachtenberg's latest film reveals anyone who killed a Predator can make a comeback!

(SPOILERS Ahead for Predator: Killer of Killers)

Any Human who has successfully defeated a Predator in battle can likely make a comeback, after the ending of Dan Trachtenberg's Predator: Killer of Killers anime revealed! At the end of Killer of Killers, it was shown that the Yautja collect the specimens of any species who successfully manage to defeat one of their own in honorable combat. This became apparent when the film concludes by showing Naru (Amber Midthunder's character from Prey) frozen in stasis on board a massive Predator space vessel.

Unlike the Predator hunting ships which are smaller and more agile, this repository of frozen Predator killers was shown to be packed full of various beings frozen in cryo pods - suggesting their potential return for another Hunt or fight to the death in colloseum-like Predator arenas!

This has huge implications for the future of Predator and any potential resurgence of past characters. This means we could very well see a return of Naru (Amber Midthunder), Royce (Adrian Brody), Quinn McKenna (Boyd Holbrook) or even Predator OGs like Dutch (Arnold Schwarzenegger) and Mike Harrigan (Danny Glover) in future films!

While the tease of such a prospect at the end of Killer of Killers is not confirmation of such characters making a comeback for sure, it does leave the possibility on the table.

It would be quite something to see an aged Dutch and Mike Harrigan waking out of cryo for one last battle with a Predator and have to team up. Which past Predator victors would you like to see make a comeback? Let us know in the comments!
