Official The Predator movie plot synopsis:
What Predator 4 is really about
From the outer reaches of space to the small-town streets of suburbia, the hunt comes home in Shane Black’s explosive reinvention of the Predator series. Now, the universe’s most lethal hunters are stronger, smarter and deadlier than ever before, having genetically upgraded themselves with DNA from other species. When a young boy accidentally triggers their return to Earth, only a ragtag crew of ex-soldiers and a disgruntled science teacher can prevent the end of the human race.
Genetically altered Predators in Shane Black's The Predator are something we've been aware of for quite some time now, but Predators who have genetically upgraded themselves with other species? What do you think of this direction? Sound off in the comments!
