The Predator franchise just pulled off a big surprise. After revitalizing the series with Prey, and Predator: Killer of Killers, director Dan Trachtenberg has revealed an extended epilogue for Killers of Killers that brings Arnold Schwarzenegger back as Dutch.
Originally, Killer of Killers ended by revealing that the Predators were hunting Torries and Kenji after Ursa’s sacrifice. The post-credits stinger then revealed that the Predators had taken people from different points in time, storing them in massive stasis containers.
That last shot showed Naru among the captives. Now, the updated version adds even more intrigue, revealing both Danny Glover’s Harrigan and Schwarzenegger’s Dutch in those containers.
Trachtenberg dropped the bombshell during San Diego Comic-Con, and also said that he’s met with Arnold about his future in the franchisee, and that the actor signed off on his character’s return.
This is so cool! Adding a post-credits scene after the film’s release is rare, but it’s exactly the kind of swing that has made this new Predator era so exciting. You can watch the updated ending when it goes live tonight on Hulu at 7 PM PST.
What does this mean for the future? The setup suggests a multigenerational Predator event, possibly bringing these characters together in one epic showdown. Could Naru, Dutch, and Harrigan unite against the ultimate hunt? If they do, I imagine it will be animated, but it would still be awesome!
Are you ready to see Dutch return?
