Perhaps we haven’t seen the last of Naru. Prey, the Predator prequel that found big success upon its release on Hulu, has quickly been established as one of the strongest installments of the franchise. It currently stands as the highest-rated movie in the Predator series on Rotten Tomatoes with many longtime Predator fans holding Prey in just as high regard as the popular original.
Given the success of Prey, a direct sequel is not outside the realm of possibility. There are not currently any plans for another Predator film, but if Prey 2 enters the planning stages, could we count on star Amber Midthunder to get back on board? In a new interview with Entertainment Weekly, Midthunder comments on the possibility. She first addressed how many fans have come up to her asking about a sequel and admits that it’s very humbling and exciting to be on the receiving end of these requests.

Midthunder goes on to suggest that she is open to the idea of a sequel, but notes how long it took for director Dan Trachtenberg to get Prey off the ground, insinuating that it could take a while for a sequel to materialize. She also says that Prey 2 will depend upon the potential sequel getting a solid enough idea for a plot to have the movie stand on its own.

It’s not a surprise to see so many fans asking for a sequel, given just how well-received Prey has been. It’s a conversation that has also made its way to director Dan Trachtenberg in a separate interview with The Hollywood Reporter. Trachtenberg explained that he remained focused on the story at hand while making Prey but that he still wanted to put in a sequel tease at the end just to keep the door open for potentially exploring more of Naru’s story.
In any case, we’ll likely be seeing a lot of Midthunder in the future, as Prey has definitely established her as an instant fan favorite in Hollywood. Aside from Prey, she can also currently be seen in the acclaimed series Reservation Dogs.
Prey is streaming on Hulu.
