A new video breaks down a rejected Predator 2 famously featured a xenomorph skull mounted on the titular hunter’s wall, so it didn’t take long for fans to get excited about the possibility of a movie featuring the two iconic monsters squaring off. This concept also formed the basis of a popular Dark Horse comic series at the time, and screenwriter Peter Briggs was the first to pen a draft called The Hunt: Alien Vs Predator.

Around this time lukewarm reviews focused on the weak script and PG-13 rating.

Very little of Briggs' Alien Vs Predator script made it into the final version, but this draft remains a firm fan favorite. For those curious about this unrealized project, a new video from Mr H Reviews breaks down the storyline for the movie. The Hunt took place in the future on the jungle planet Ryushi, where a Predator has to deal with a xenomorph outbreak on a human colony. He’s forced to team with a human survivor as events spiral out of control, leading to some intense action.

Fans often lament that Briggs' screenplay was a much stronger take on Alien Vs Predator: Requiem, which is often considered the nadir of both franchises.

There are currently no plans for further Alien Vs Predator spinoffs or solo movies for either series. Shane Black’s a TV series on a streaming service is more likely. With Disney set to take ownership of both properties in the near future, it could be some time before either series produce a new movie.
