Prey Movie Cast & Characters:
- Amber Midthunder as Naru, a young Comanche warrior who protects her tribe against a Predator
- Dakota Beavers as Taabe, Naru’s brother and a skilled hunter. In August 2022, Bennett Taylor confirmed that the script for Prey revealed Billy Sole, a Native American tracker and scout played by Sonny Landham in the original Predator (1987), to be a reincarnation of Taabe, reframing his “last stand” with that film’s Predator as being due to subconscious memories of a past life.
- Dane DiLiegro as the Feral Predator, shown to wield primitive versions of the advanced weaponry used by Predators in previous future-set films, which Naru calls a Mupitsi after a monster in Comanche folklore.
- Michelle Thrush as Aruka, Naru and Taabe’s mother
- Julian Black Antelope as Chief Kehetu
- Coco as Sarii, Naru’s dog companion
- Stormee Kipp as Wasape, a Comanche hunter who looks down on Naru
- Mike Paterson as Big Beard
- Bennett Taylor as Raphael Adolini, an Italian translator hired by the French. This character was first alluded to in Predator 2 (1990) and later depicted in the comic book Predator: 1718 (1996).
- Nelson Leis as Waxed Mustache
- Troy Mundle as Spyglass
