With Prey (2022) getting massive praise for its setting, movie studios might be revisiting period piece prequels once more.
Prequels are always a fun time. With the recent release of Prey, the iconic Yautja is brought to a period that was only teased in Predator 2. Many audiences often wondered how cool it would have been to see the Yautja prowling the American Frontier of the 1700s.
Still, Prey is far from the first movie to do a period piece prequel. After all, a movie builds its world. With that world, comes its unique history. These prequels might answer questions the fans always had about their favorite movies. Most of the time though, it's just cool to see beloved characters and lore in an old-timey setting.
