New Predator Movie Reportedly Casts Legion Star Amber Midthunder In Lead Role

The new Predator movie (aka Predator 5) has apparently tapped Legion star Amber Midthunder in the lead role. Discussing Film dropped the exclusive that Midthunder had landed the role, which makes sense given what’s known about this upcoming new installment of the Predator franchise. The new film is rumored to be set in the past and will follow a Native American woman of the Comanche tribe, who rebukes the gender norms to become a warrior. Amber Midthunder is Native American and an active member of the Fort Peck Sioux Tribe. So as far as authenticity goes, this casting is pretty smart.

“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.” –AvP Galaxy
