Short description

Cast out from his clan, a young Predator finds an unlikely ally in a damaged android and embarks on a treacherous journey in search of the ultimate adversary.

What's left behind the scenes

  • The Yautja language was specifically created for the film by linguist Britton Watkins. Dimitrios Kolomatanis, who played the role of the Dec, initially expected to simply make up words on the spot after his audition, but ultimately had to learn a new language for filming.
  • Unlike previous films in the franchise, the Dec’s face was not animatronic, but a product of digital technology, with facial muscle movements captured using motion capture technology.
  • According to director and screenwriter Dan Trachtenberg, the relationship between the Dec and Elle Fanning’s character was inspired by the video game Shadow of the Colossus.
  • Preparing for filming, Dimitrios Kolomatangis practiced navigating a special obstacle course.
  • Initially, actor Dimitrios Kolomatangis did not expect to have to carry Elle Fanning on his back, as he thought that scenes involving a legless robot would be realized using computer graphics. However, in reality, it took the actors and stunt performers about a month to develop a suspension system and find the most suitable angles and movements to believably portray Deck carrying Tia on his shoulders.
  • According to actor Dimitrios Kolomatangis, during the audition for the role of Deck, actors were required to navigate an obstacle course in character and portray the Predator twice: first in English, and then in a fictional language. To pass the second part of the audition, Dimitrios mixed words from the Samoan and Tongan languages, and also added invented phrases.
