Many fans are curious if Dutch, played by Arnold Schwarzenegger, makes an appearance in Predator: Killer of Killers. Fans seem to believe they caught a glimpse of the franchise’s first protagonist in the new animated movie. Here are all the details.
Is Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Dutch in Predator: Killer of Killers?
There is no clear way to confirm if Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Dutch appears in Predator: Killer of Killers. However, there is plenty of evidence to support the theory.
Despite numerous plans to bring Arnold Schwarzenegger back to the Predator franchise, things never materialized. Hence, the question of where Dutch was after his victory against the Predator remained unanswered. Most believed he returned to his life, but Predator: Killer of Killers hints at a different fate.
Predator: Killer of Killers reveals that the Yautja have been capturing past Earth warriors who defeated them and placing them in cryosleep. They later awaken them for gladiatorial combat. The film features three such warriors from different eras and even shows Naru (Amber Midthunder from Prey) in a cryosleep chamber.
In the original 1987 movie, the Predator set off a self-destruct bomb. However, Dutch survived and became the first person in the franchise to kill a Predator. Others have followed in his footsteps as more and more movies came out. The new animated movie seems to reference all these previous battles with the alien species on Earth.
In a brief sequence, Predator: Killer of Killers shows a glimpse of a mystery man being held in a cryo-chamber. Upon closer inspection, viewers notice that the man inside appears to have a muscular, military build. The resemblance of this figure to Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Dutch from the first movie has sparked speculation among fans.
If this character is Dutch, it keeps the door open for his return in the future, as well as other major characters from the franchise so far.
Predator: Killer of Killers is now streaming on Hulu.
