The latest Predator story arc has confirmed a major connection to the original film!
Marvel's annual line of Predator comic story arcs has made no secret that it is set in the same universe as the films – in fact, the issues open with a timeline clearly denoting each Predator film and the comic story arcs.
When The Last Hunt begins, Theta has tracked a Predator cargo ship to the planet Mabou, where she thinks she can finally get intel on where the Predators store their captive specimens between hunts. However, Theta and Paolo discover that humans are living on the planet – with a mysterious man called John Schaefer leading the group.
In Predator: The Last Hunt #2, it's revealed who John Schaefer really is: the brother of Dutch Schaefer, Arnold Schwarzenegger's character from the original Predator movie. According to John's monologues throughout the issue, Dutch went missing after encountering a Predator in 1987 during his mission in the Guatemalan jungle; John skeptically checked into the unbelievable rumors of the alien encounter until he finally encountered a Predator in NYC.
John Schaefer's main goal in"The Main Hunt" is still chasing the hope that Dutch was also abducted, to be used as a prime specimen in the Predators' hunts. Of course, by the end of the issue that hope starts to get dashed: John joins Theta on a mission to research a Predator stasis farm, only for the group to realize that it was all a trap set by the best of the Predators, the"Nightmare Hunter.
