For fans of the “Predator” franchise, one of the first major noteworthy differences is that this Yautja seems to be quite a bit larger than most of the creatures we’ve seen on screen. Fans will also no doubt notice that he seems to have a cybernetic appendage where his right hand should be.

This is only one of at least three Predators viewers will encounter in “Predator: Killer of Killers”. Along with the Yautja hunter in this clip, at least one will be battling samurai and ninja in Japan, while a third will be taking on combat pilots in World War II.

“Predator: Killers of Killers” is directed by Dan Trachtenberg and Micho Robert Rutare, and written by Rutare. Trachtenberg previously directed the 2022 “Predator” prequel film, “Prey”.

Trachtenberg has made sure this year would be a busy one for the “Predator” franchise. Along with “Killer of Killers”, Trachtenberg directed the live-action film “Predator: Badlands,” which releases in theaters in November.

Trachtenberg talked to ComicBook back in April about exactly how “Killer of Killers” came to be.

“I had three very cool ideas,” Trachtenberg said. “One of them, the first one, the one I was the most excited about at the time, was ‘Badlands.’ But then there was this other thing, that was ‘Prey,’ [that] was really cool.”

“We got to put the Predator in these different time periods and tell that story. I think the thing that made ‘Prey’ special, though, wasn’t just Predator in a different time period, it was that the story we were telling was made better by the story of the Predator, and I didn’t want to just throw them into a different time period.”

“I really wanted to figure out, if we were to do that kind of thing again, how could it be special? And what’s the kind of story we could tell that could be equally badass and awesome, but also emotional and thematic and character-oriented?”

“In thinking about the different time periods, I honed in on the idea of, what if we made an animated movie where we could express ourselves in a way that we don’t get to see?”

“We’ve now had all these Predator movies and we’re doing this one that’s crazy different, but still with all the stuff…”

“The other side of the coin that I love in Predator movies is that hard-R, crazy carnage. Wouldn’t it be cool to see that in a different medium? So we made this movie, ‘Killer of Killers,’ at the exact same time, stupidly, but awesomely.”

“Predator: Killer of Killers” streams on Hulu on Friday, June 6.
