Midthunder was also thrilled to be able to bring that representation to a period piece, especially one that isn't about a tribe's relationship with white people. "Getting to see that every day and learn about everything from how they brush their teeth to big things like how they handled war or honor their dead was so cool."

The Hulu film goes back in time 300 years to the Predator's first trip to Earth, where it encounters a young female Comanche warrior named Naru ( Amber Midthunder) who is determined to protect her tribe from the creature she knows is not a bear. It is not a prequel and has very little to do with the other movies, but the spirit-along with the alien creature with the iconic haircut - remains intact. Prey, the latest installment in the Predator franchise, might not be the Predator movie you expect.
