Rumors are swirling in the sci-fi world as 20th Century Studios reportedly develops Alien vs. Predator 3, the long-awaited next chapter in the epic battle between two of cinema’s most iconic extraterrestrial species. After Alien vs. Predator (2004) and Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (2007), fans have been clamoring for a modern take on this legendary crossover—and new reports suggest it may finally happen.

What We Know So Far

While no official plot details have been confirmed, insider sources hint that AvP 3 could serve as a soft reboot, distancing itself from the previous films and aligning more closely with the darker, grittier tone of recent Alien and Predator installments. Possible storylines include:

• A New Hunting Ground – The Predators may return to Earth (or another planet) for another deadly game, only to face an evolved Xenomorph threat.

• Colonial Marines Involvement – Inspired by the Aliens franchise, human soldiers could get caught in the middle of the war.

• Expanded Lore – The film might delve deeper into the Yautja (Predator) culture or the Engineers’ connection to the Xenomorphs.

Why Now?

With Prey (2022) reviving the Predator series and Alien: Romulus (2024) continuing the original franchise’s legacy, Disney and 20th Century Studios appear to be rebuilding both properties. An AvP revival could capitalize on this momentum, especially with advances in CGI and practical effects making the battles more visceral than ever.

Fan Expectations & Challenges

The first two AvP films were divisive—some fans loved the spectacle, while others criticized their departure from the franchises’ horror roots. For AvP 3 to succeed, it must:

• Balance Action & Horror – Capture the suspense of Alien and the thrill of Predator’s hunts.

• Respect Canon – Avoid contradicting established lore from either series.

• Deliver Worthy Combat – The fights need to be brutal, creative, and true to each creature’s abilities.

Will It Happen?

Though not yet officially greenlit, industry insiders suggest the project is in early development. If approved, filming could begin in late 2025 for a potential 2026-27 release.

Final Thought
The Alien vs. Predator concept is too thrilling to abandon forever. With the right director and vision, AvP 3 could finally give fans the ultimate sci-fi showdown they’ve been waiting for.
