New PREDATOR Movie Reportedly Casts LEGION Actress Amber Midthunder in the Lead
Director Dan Trachtenberg (10 Cloverfield Lane) has reportedly cast actress Amber Midthunder in the lead role of his upcoming Predator film. The Native American actress is best known for her role as Kerry Loudermilk in Marvel and FX’s Legion. She currently stars as Rosa Ortecho in The CW series Roswell, New Mexico.
In a previously shared possible synopsis for the film, the story will follow Kee, “a Comanche woman who goes against gender norms and traditions to become a warrior. Many years ago – in a time before any Europeans had ever encroached on their lands – the Comanche people had a well defined society and gender norms. Kee is very close to her younger brother, Taabe, who is being groomed as a leader. As capable as any young man in the tribe, Kee has always been a teacher and source of inspiration for Taabe. In the Comanche way – she is Patsi – the elder sister that has helped to shape him. Kee is a truth teller and has insight that others do not. A tomboy, she wants to prove herself in the masculine world of the Comanche. When danger threatens them all – Kee sets out to prove that she is as capable as any young warrior.”
Here’s are some details that were also previously shared on the character Kee, “Female; 19 years old; Comanche. Her name, ‘Kee’, means “no” in Comanche. A name she has earned by perpetually refusing to do as she is told her entire life. Kee is very close to her younger brother, Taabe, who is being groomed as a leader. As capable as any young man in the tribe, Kee has always been a teacher and source of inspiration for Taabe. In the Comanche way – she is “Patsi” – the elder sister that has helped to shape him. Kee is a truth-teller and has insight that others do not. A tomboy, she wants to prove herself in the masculine world of the Comanche. When danger threatens them all – Kee sets out to prove that she is as capable as any young warrior.”
If those story details are true, then this is going to make for a very cool and very unique Predator movie. I hope that this is the movie that we see get made! Ancient Comanche warriors batting Predators, who wouldn’t want to see that!?
20th Century Studios’ upcoming Predator film is about to begin filming in Calgary, Alberta.
