If you've seen "Alien" movies in order and need another hit franchise to stream, you're coming to the right place, because we've covered how to watch "Predator" movies in the following order Set in the same universe where Xenomorphs exist, Predator is another vicious life form that appears to have more personality1 Yes, you read that right, these creatures hunt dangerous species for fun

Xenomorphs are determined to colonize new territories, but predators kill for honor They compete with each other to gain a rank called Blooded, which proves that they killed a worthy prey They don't hide in vents or cross the ceiling, but they can become invisible and sneak up on you, and that's why these humanoids

The first "Predator" film was released in 1987 and starred Arnold Schwarzenegger as the main character There will be 6 more films to follow, and the titular creature will find a new way to track and kill its prey This franchise has not been as successful as "Alien", but if you are obsessed with horror, it is still worth watching the binge 

Of course, we're here for the thrill of hunting, so let's get into the chronological and release order of all the 7 "Predator" movies 

Watching movies in release order is usually better than chronological order because you are experiencing the way the story is told throughout the year You will get into a franchise that knows nothing, and it will make you go to the theater for the first time There is no time to bleed, so let's start with the first film 

"Predator" was born the franchise in 1987, and director John McTiernan created a brilliant action-packed film Seeing the success of "Alien" in 1979, it's no wonder McTiernan wanted to follow a similar path to Ridley Scott while creating something unique The first film follows a Dutch (Arnold Schwarzenegger), a soldier who must rescue a group of people from Guatemala, a Central American country But when he and his team arrive, brutal creatures known as predators begin to hunt them one by one, so they become danger waiting for them

A second "predator" jumps seven years into the future and reveals a vicious predator who hunts humans in Los Angeles Fun Fact - Bill Paxton stars as Jerry Lambert in this film and as Hudson in "Alien" (despite both franchises being set in the same universe) 

Here you can stream the first two movies:

Now go to the crossover movie you've probably heard "Aliens vs Predators" sees these dangerous creatures fight each other The first crossover focuses on Charles Bishop Wayland (Lance Henriksen), a billionaire who wants to investigate the strange heat source of Antarctica He and his team discover parasitism Xenomorphs and are caught in the middle of the fight only when predators come to Earth to hunt down aliens Now the team must find a way to escape without becoming dead flesh

The next crossover picks up exactly where the first movie ended This time, let's first look at the homeland of predators and how they work 

Finally, there are the latest 3 "Predator" movies, and "Predators" is a reboot to refresh the franchise It focuses on the mercenary (Adrien Brody) and his team of elite warriors who parachute down into the unknown jungle, but only to be hunted by ruthless creatures 

"Predator" centers around the streets of suburban small towns as more powerful versions of the species come to Earth to gain some of the key technologies Now the crew of the former soldiers have no choice but to fight with them to protect humanity

Coming up is the final but best "Predator" movie "Prey" is a prequel that focuses on a Comanche warrior named Naru (Amber Midthunder) When a highly evolved predator hunts her tribe in the wilderness, she needs to use her intelligence and combat skills to kill creatures and keep her people safe, and it may be incredible, but "Prey" is the franchise's highest-rated film, with 94% on Rotten Tomatoes

The timeline can be a bit confusing when it comes to this franchise, given that there's a prequel and some time jump to the next sequel, but we need to wrap around one or two movies for them to match in chronological order 

There are 2 more projects in the works, including stand-alone films "Badlands" and "Prey2""It's unclear how these will fit into the current timeline, and whether they will be Canon However, if you want to track the timeline accurately, there is the right way to stream all these movies 

Here's how you can watch "Predator" movies in chronological order:

Since we only got confirmation of these movies at the beginning of the year, there are some small details we can share about when they can happen, and what they are, however, for another few months

"Badlands" will become an independent film and will be directed by Dan Trachtenberg It is said to be released before "Prey2" and has nothing to do with it, but rather, you will see the predator loose in another period and place "Badlands" is also rumored to have a female lead, and the story may explore more technologically advanced predators that hunt humans 

On the other hand, in "Prey2," Amber Midthunder's Naru may again appear as the protagonist She managed to defeat predators in the first films, but, of course, these creatures always return The sequel was able to show that she fights stronger predators and continues the events of the 18th century 

News about the plot, cast and release date is fairly scarce, so we may not see any further updates until later this year It will take some time for these films to get on the big screen, but there are other franchises that you can enjoy after "Predator" For information on how to watch "watched" movies in order, or what's not so scary, check out our guide on how to watch "X-Men" movies the right way
