Yes. Wikipedia says it is an anthology.

And we’ve a new Predator movie coming from the Director of Prey later this year.
Which is not a direct sequel to Prey.
That approach intrigues me. We know from Prey he very much understands the Predator, and how to make a damned good film. But it was, whilst an original take, still kinda by the numbers. So I’m excited to see what his further development might look like.
Cursory google? He’s directed this as well.
Not gonna watch the Trailer, as Prey’s blew my tiny mind, and I’d like to preserve as much surprise as possible, just like Prey did.
Yes I love Prey, because it’s superb. And if you’ve don’t agree, I’ll metaphorically set about your face with a metaphorical hammer, until even a Predator would take one look at you and say “oooer, don’t fancy yours much”

Interesting. One of the reviews of Prey I saw bemoaned the fact that it had taken 30+ years for someone to figure out the formula of Predator vs “x” historical period; Predator versus Spartans, Predator vs Samurai, etc. so many cool opportunities. Seems like Dan Trachtenberg had the same idea!

Hopefully, this is a sign he’s carefully considered these, and presumably decided whilst each setting isn’t sufficient to carry a whole movie, there is enough there for a collection of shorts.
I respect that. He nailed it completely with Prey, as a cool historical take on the classic. And I can see how trying to do whole movies in different eras and cultures may start to feel a bit cookie cutter.
Time will tell, and joyously, we don’t need to wait terribly long.

Predator vs. whoever owned the flintlock pistol from the end of Predator 2. Young me thought of so many cool stories, and I think Dark Horse comics made a story about it, but I want my Predator action on screen!

The history of the flintlock pistol is shown in Prey.

This looks cool. Except for that CGI animation. I would actually prefer traditional looking cell animation instead of this stuff. The faces and movements always look so stiff and awkward. Especially so for the faces.
My phone isn’t agreeing with me today….so many edits….
