Does Arnold Schwarzenegger ever plan on returning to the Predator franchise? Arnold’s character Dutch was of course the sole survivor of the ultimate hunter in the original 1987 action-horror classic, but the actor hasn’t been seen in the franchise since. His character, however, did make a surprise appearance in the alternate ending to Predator: Killer of Killers.
Directed by Dan Trachtenberg (Prey, Predator: Badlands), the animated Killer of Killers was released onto Hulu and Disney+ in June, and it was a month later that a brand new cut of the movie was uploaded to the streaming services. The new epilogue scene features Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Dutch as well as Danny Glover’s Lieutenant Mike Harrigan from Predator 2 and Amber Midthunder’s Naru from Prey, firmly connecting the various different storylines.
Trachtenberg teased at Comic-Con over the summer, “The fun is that now we have the end of Prey set up something, and then there’s this, and I love the slow play of it all. I think it’s cool, rather than smushing everything together inside one movie right away, we can really be elegant with our storytelling and hopefully aspire to that. So, it is not a setup for what’s in Badlands, but it is a setup for what could happen afterward.”
But there’s a big difference between an animated Dutch and an actual appearance from Arnold Schwarzenegger in a new Predator movie. Chatting with , Trachtenberg and producer make it clear that they’d love to make it happen.
