“There’s a unique hook to her character that is exciting in the pairing of [her and Dek],” Trachtenberg previously teased to BD of one of Fanning’s characters. The trailer finally brings answers on that front: Thia is a damaged synth who will be strapped to the back of Dek in their bid to hunt big game.
For even more details on what to expect, from the weaponry to the unlikely partnership between the Yautja and a Weyland-Yutani synth, read our set visit report here.
Owned by Disney under the 20th Century Studios umbrella, the Predator franchise, of course, kicked off with the original action-horror classic in 1987. That was followed by sequels Predator 2, Predators, The Predator, and Prey, as well as the two Alien vs. Predator movies. The long-running franchise also includes all kinds of comic books and games.
Get ready for a very different type of Predator movie next month.
