‘Predator: Killer of Killers’ First Reactions Tease that Fans of the Franchise Are In for a Treat
Predator: Killer of Killers is set to arrive on June 6 and promises a new kind of Predator story, one that steps away from the usual setup and dives into the past.
Instead of following a single timeline, this movie takes a different route. Killer of Killers will unfold through three separate stories, each set in a completely different period in history. That means three different warriors, three different battles, and three unique encounters with the deadly Yautja hunters.
It’s not one big plot but rather an anthology showing how humans across time have clashed with the galaxy’s most fearsome predator.
The movie was developed in secrecy, so hardly anyone knew about it until the first marketing materials started dropping. Now, first reactions to the movie are in, and they are amazing to say the least.
People are really loving the movie so far. Fans and critics are calling it one of the best Predator movies ever, even saying it’s better than Prey.
The animation is getting a lot of praise for being sharp and smooth, and the action is described as intense and bloody. Viewers are especially enjoying the human warriors in the stories, saying they’re just as interesting as the Predators themselves. Even though each part of the anthology is separate, it all comes together in a way that feels big and important for the future of the franchise.
One story with a Samurai stands out for a lot of people, and the ending is getting strong reactions, with some calling it wild and unforgettable. People are also saying the movie feels like it was made by Predator fans who really understand what makes the series great. Overall, the reactions are full of excitement and hope for where the Predator story can go next.
PREDATOR: KILLER OF KILLERS is a stunning animated achievement. Seeing different predators in various time periods is super awesome, but the multiple human warriors at the core of this anthology are especially compelling.

PREDATOR: KILLER OF KILLERS is the best Predator film since the original (even better than Prey). Compelling stories/world building, brutal action & a twist that blows the door open for the franchise’s future. This is to the Predator franchise what Spider-Verse was to Spider-Man. pic.twitter.com/Mel2ZEd0IW

Dan Trachtenberg’s #PredatorKillerOfKillers is a masterclass of #Predator epics. Though not individually spectacular, the collection of stories culminates in the mother of all adventures that will change the franchise forever.

Predator Killer of Killers is a glimpse into the world of Predator unlike anything we have seen before! Each segment stands on its own with the Sword being the standout for me. We finally have our Predator vs Samurai! You won’t believe that ending…. Holy shit. Once it starts it… pic.twitter.com/aN13jAJQWZ

#PredatorKillerOfKillers: @DannyTRS doesn’t miss — the trust they’ve put in him with this franchise continues to pay off. A really well crafted film, full of vicious kills, strong characters, and it zips by under 90 minutes. Folks in the @BeyondFest & @am_cinematheque audience… pic.twitter.com/Eaqyz96ggV

Building on the unique approach that Prey brought to the world of Predator, #PredatorKillerofKillers takes audiences on a journey throughout history. Vikings, feudal Japan and World War II, this anthology plays out with three distinct Predator encounters, each acting as its own… pic.twitter.com/PXA0Hmaw8W
