Disney+ Day brought forth the announcement of Predator 5’s official title along with its summer 2022 release date. They also announced that the film will be headed for release on Hulu. This is the type of film that I personally would rather enjoy in a theater and with theaters opening back up slowly, it would have been something I preferred, but that’s not to say we won’t see in theaters as we could have a simultaneous release, but no information on the release model was shared other than it would be headed to Hulu. Regardless, this is a fun franchise and I hope we get to see more of it further down the line.
