Prey (2022): How to catch up
To catch up and be prepared for Prey before it debuts this summer, you really need to watch the Predator franchise first. And also the Alien franchise.
That’s right: Two of the most iconic movie monsters ever share the same cinematic universe.
Thanks to the Alien vs Predator films, the Alien and Predator franchises converged to take place in the same timeline. Now, there are 12 movies in total to watch – if you feel like revisiting what’s known as the Alien Universe – the oldest of which is Ridley Scott’s 1979 classic Alien, set in 2122. However, the earliest film, chronologically, is the first Predator, set the year it premiered: 1987.
To make things even more complicated, these films’ creators have planted easter eggs in other movies. Coupled with online theories, this has resulted in the inclusion of Blade Runner into the Alien Universe. (It shares the same director as Alien, Ridley Scott.)
