Taking to Twitter, Duke and Ventura — both of whom starred in the original Predator film in 1987 — praised the recently released film, with both also taking time to highlight Amber Midthunder’s performance. Midthunder stars in the film as Naru, a young Comanche woman who goes head-to-head with the Predator. The pair welcomed her into the Predator family while also praising director Dan Trachtenberg’s job on the film.

You can check out Ventura and Duke’s tweets below:

“Set in the Comanche Nation 300 years ago, Prey is the story of a young woman, Naru, a fierce and highly skilled warrior,” reads the synopsis. “She has been raised in the shadow of some of the most legendary hunters who roam the Great Plains, so when danger threatens her camp, she sets out to protect her people. The prey she stalks, and ultimately confronts, turns out to be a highly evolved alien predator with a technically advanced arsenal, resulting in a vicious and terrifying showdown between the two adversaries.”

The cast is comprised almost entirely of Native and First Nation’s talent, including Amber Midthunder (The Ice Road), newcomer Dakota Beavers, Stormee Kipp (Sooyii), Michelle Thrush (The Journey Home), and Julian Black Antelope (Tribal). It also features Dane DiLiegro (American Horror Stories) as the Predator.

Prey is directed by Dan Trachtenberg from a screenplay written by Patrick Aison. It is produced by John Davis, Jhane Myers, and Marty Ewing, with Lawrence Gordon, Ben Rosenblatt, James E. Thomas, John C. Thomas, and Marc Toberoff serving as executive producers.

The prequel is available on Hulu entirely in Comanche as a language option, or with Comanche subtitles, which is the first time a feature-length movie on a direct-to-consumer streaming platform has been fully available in the Comanche language.
