Prey Movie Credits Tease Explained
ThePrey movie end-credits tease cleverly sets up a number of possibilities for the franchise's future. Prey stars Amber Midthunder as a Comanche warrior named Naru, who seeks to prove herself by confronting the threat of a newly-arrived Predator hunter to her lands. The film is directed by Dan Trachtenberg and takes place 300 years prior to the events of 1987's Predator, making it the first prequel in the series. The Prey movie features many of the familiar tropes of prior Predator films, while expanding it in a way that clears a path for a whole new approach to the long-running franchise.
Thus far, the Predator films have all taken place in modern day or the near future, keeping the events all set within a few decades of one another. The AVP films play with the canon in a way that places the Predator race on Earth many centuries prior to present day, but that timeline is routinely ignored as part of the main Predator canon timeline. The modern-day set sequels all play with similar themes, while loosely connecting the characters, but have yet to follow any kind of true sequel pattern that makes them feel like they're strongly linked. Outside of the mention of past encounters and a few recurring items, each sequel acts as a pseudo reboot, including Prey — though the movie's end-credits may suggest some alterations to this usual formula are coming in some form in the franchise's near future.
