Director Dan Trachtenberg's Predator prequel film now has an official title and a release window.

According to Variety, the film will be titled Prey and will release during summer 2022. Set in the world of the Comanche Nation 300 years ago, the movie will follow Naru (Amber Midthunder), a highly trained female warrior who must protects her tribe against an alien predator. The script was penned by Patrick Aison.

Prey was originally titled Skulls during shooting. That title was announced back in September when production on the film wrapped. It will be the fifth film in the Predator franchise, following Predator (1987), Predator 2 (1990), Predators (2010) and The Predator (2018). The franchise has also spawned two crossovers with the Alien films: Alien vs. Predator (2004) and Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (2007). The franchise has grossed $740 million at the worldwide box office.

The Prey announcement came on Disney+ Day, a celebration of the two-year anniversary of the Disney streaming service. However, the film will actually premiere on Hulu, which Disney has a controlling stake in after buying 20th Century Fox (now 20th Century Studios) in 2019. This falls in line with Disney's streaming branding strategy, in which family friendly, Marvel and Star Wars titles head to Disney+, and more adult-oriented content goes to Hulu. The prequel will also stream internationally on Star, which, depending on where users live, is either a hub on Disney+ similar to Marvel or Pixar, or a different streaming service entirely.

While each film follows new characters, the Predator franchise follows select human characters as they fight off the alien hunter species known as the Predators. Past cast members include Arnold Schwarzenegger, Carl Weathers, Danny Glover, Gary Busey, Adrien Brody, Adrien Brody, Françoise Yip and Olivia Munn.

This will be Trachtenberg's first time in the director's chair for a movie since 2016's 10 Cloverfield Lane. His TV directorial credits include Black Mirror, The Boys and The Lost Symbol. This will also be Aison's first take at a feature film, having written and produced episodes of Treadstone, Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan, Kingdom and Wayward Pines. Amber Midthunder is known for her roles in Legion and Roswell, New Mexico.
