Movies

When does Predator: Killer of Killers take place?

Predator: Killer of Killers is a movie released in 2025. Its story takes place around 1997, around the same time as Predator 2 (1997) and about 7 years before Alien vs. Predator (2004). In the Predator movies timeline, it comes after Predator 2 (1997) and before Alien vs. Predator (2004).

The three stories are set in 841, 1609 and 1942. The final chapter has no year, but the captives seen in the extended cut include Mike Harrigan from "Predator 2" (1997), so it is placed after that film and before "Alien vs. Predator" (2004).

Description

The anthology story follows three of the fiercest warriors in human history: a Viking raider guiding her young son on a bloody quest for revenge, a ninja in feudal Japan who turns against his Samurai brother in a brutal battle for succession, and a WWII pilot who takes to the sky to investigate an otherworldly threat to the Allied cause. But while all these warriors are killers in their own right, they are merely prey for their new opponent: the ultimate killer of killers.

"Predator: Killer of Killers" is an animated film directed by Dan Trachtenberg, released on Hulu on June 6, 2025. Its three stories are set in 841, 1609 and 1942. In the final chapter, the three survivors wake up as prisoners on an alien world ruled by a Predator warlord. The extended ending added in July 2025 shows Dutch from "Predator" and Mike Harrigan from "Predator 2" among the captives, which places that chapter after 1997.
