The new film in the Predator franchise, dubbed Desolace, is not a sequel to the 2022 film Prey, which is set in 1719 and centers on a young Comanche woman forced to fight for survival against intergalactic hunters. Rather, it is a completely new story. Plot details are being kept under wraps for now, but it is said to take place in the future.
As with Prey, Trachtenberg co-wrote the screenplay with Patrick Eyson. The project has been quietly progressing for a long time and has reached the point where production can begin in July.
The unexpected success of “Prey” aroused the interest of not only critics, but also audiences, giving new impetus to the franchise. The studio is currently planning several projects within the Predator universe, with an emphasis on director Trachtenberg.
