Black Panther has to battle the sons of the Predator King to guard Wakanda while the race searches for the most potent resources in the Marvel Universe. T'Challa possesses claws to match the Yautja along with new tech and spears shining with purple energy after his outfit update at the end of Predator: The Last Hunt. In Predator vs. Wolverine as the extraterrestrial beast sought for Wolverace's adamantium, the last readers witnessed a Predator fighting a Marvel hero. Searching for the ultimate trophy for their hunt, the new Yautja fix their thermal sights on the Vibranium of Wakanda.
The alien Yautja species is recognized in the Predator series to be the ultimate predator against their selected prey or to be a sport for trophies challenging other great creatures. Along with Batman, Superman, and Xenomorphs in other non-Marvel crossovers, predators have faced likes of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Danny Glover, Jacob Tremblay, and Amber Midthunder in the films in the franchise. The Black Panther might prove to be one of the Yautja's most deserving foes to date as panthers are naturally occurring predators and T'Challa is among Marvel's most recognizable characters.
Black Panther will challenge the Predator in summer 2024, hence Marvel Comics has just revealed yet another superhero and sci-fi horror crossover. Four-issue miniseries Predator vs. Black Panther saw the Predators arrive upon Wakanda. Inspired by the crossover between the elite apex alien species and Wolverine from 2023, the venerable 20th Century Studios horror series keeps running over Marvel's most iconic superheroes in stunning fashion.
The fourth and last issue of Predator: The Last Hunt by Ed Brisson, Francesco Manna, and Java Tartaglia included first-look art for the comic. More specifics and the initial cover art have now been revealed in Gizmodo's exclusive interview with Benjamin Percy, writer of Predator vs. Black Panther. T'Challa is shown in Ken Lashley's cover sporting a vintage suit battling a unique new Yautja. With a Predator King and his two sons, Percy said the Predators will mirror T'Challa's struggle for the throne in Wakanda. Black Panther will have some significant armor enhancements to go toe-to--toe with the Predator species as he gets ready to battle the ferocious Yautja.
Twice this summer, Sci-fi horror legends from 20th Century Studios will infiltrate Marvel Comics as Xenomorphs from the Alien franchise will also be confronting Earth's Mightiest Heroes in the forthcoming Aliens vs. Avengers by Jonathan Hickman and Esad Ribić. With both the Alien and Predator series under development for crossovers, alien dangers in the Marvel universe have grown even more frightening. Black Panther is assured to combat the Predators in their shared miniseries, but his role as an Avenger in the Aliens crossover in Hickman's other future series is yet unknown.
Including non-horror IP, 20th Century Studios boasts a lot of series that might fit for a fun crossover with Marvel's great heroes. Still another race of alien capable of challenging superheroes, the Yautja species of the Predator franchise gels rather naturally with the brand. Though they could meet their equal when they try to conquer Wakanda, the ultra-powerful and competitive aliens have a chance of winning a fight against plenty of heroes. Equipped in his all-new Yautja-killing armor, Black Panther is prepared to face the Predator or any other legendary horror villain on Marvel Comics pages.
Jim and John Thomas started the action science fiction series Predator starting with the first movie released in 1987. Constantly bringing them to Earth because to the vast amount of strife fostered on it, the franchise follows a warrior alien race known as the Yautja who search the great reaches of space hunting for suitable food. The show has also seen multiple crossover events via movies and video games with the Aliens franchise and spun out into comic books and animated features.
Since the Predators are always looking for difficult opponent, the forthcoming comic series Predator vs. Black Panther will most certain be a hit. Series and character fans will be keen to see what happens in the comics and maybe even some future film adaptations.
