This time we see the Predator becoming the prey. It also humanizes the Predator by making him the protagonist of the film. The Predator, played by <strong>Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi<\/strong> is called Dek and is a young Predator outcast by his clan. In a bid to reclaim his title, he goes on the search for the ultimate adversary. It&#8217;s not yet clear what the ultimate adversary is but it&#8217;s described as the ultimate apex predator in the trailer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Teaming up with the Predator is <strong>Elle Fanning&#8217;s<\/strong> Thia. Thia, a Weyland-Yutani android that has seen better days, has a strong desire to join this new Predator on his journey. It seems pretty clear that an Alien\/Predator universe is slowly being built for potential crossovers in the near future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure
