Exclusive: Prey actor Dane DiLiegro, who plays the Predator in the new film, explained how the design was created for the prequel. 'Dan gave us a couple of keywords initially: feral, animalistic, wild, primal.'
Prey's new Predator actor, Dane DiLiegro, recently detailed how the new Predator design was created for the film. Set in 1719, DiLiegro stars as the iconic alien in the franchise's thrilling prequel. When Naru , a young Comanche woman living on the American Great Plains, comes face-to-face with the ruthless alien hunter, she must track down and kill the creature before it kills her and wipes out her tribe.
As a result of the film being set nearly 300 years prior to the original Predator film, much of the Predator's design and technology has been changed. The alien no longer sports his recognizable metal bio-helmet and instead wears a helmet forged from the skull of a long dead creature. This causes the mandibles of the creature to be exposed, allowing for a more expressive creature.
"Dan gave us a couple of keywords initially: feral animalistic, wild, primal. So I knew we were kind of departing from the stand-up, humanoid, WWF wrestler, Dan did not want that 1987 wrestler-style Predator, he wanted something dynamic, he wanted something lean, that was more violent and quicker.
The new "animalistic" design truly fits within story and themes of the film as the main character Naru is attempting to prove herself within her tribe through a hunting ritual. She tracks down a massive bear to secure a kill that would stand her apart from her capable older brother Taabe , however her plans go awry when the bear proved too much for Naru to handle, with the bear nearly killing her.
Prey ended up being a return to form for the franchise, one that has seen its share of less-than-stellar entries. The Predator's redesign and physicality undoubtedly contributed to the success of the film and likely helped make Prey become the most-watched Hulu Original debut on the streaming service as well as the highest-rated Predator film in the franchise's history.
