'Prey's Amber Midthunder Calls 'Predator' Prequel Groundbreaking for Indigenous Representation

Amber Midthunder wears a chic floral halter gown for the premiere of her new film, Prey.

The 25-year-old actress walked the red carpet at the Regency Village Theater in Los Angeles on Tuesday (August 2) next to her co-stars Dakota Beavers, Stormee Kipp, Michelle Thrush, and Dane DiLiegro, as well as director Dan Trachtenberg.

Jack Quaid, Doug Jones, and Paula Abdul were among the celebrity guests at the event.

“Just the way that the characters are built and portrayed, especially in a period piece, is something that you so rarely see for Indigenous characters,” Amber shared in a new interview about the flick.

She added, “Often, you think Native characters are either overly spiritual or they’re just really savage and kind of subhuman and one-dimensional, and you never get to see a variety of Native people who have full personalities and desires, and things to relate to, and relationships. On top of being a really exciting movie, I’m extremely proud of that.”

The newest installment of the Predator franchise, Prey is set in the Comanche Nation 300 years ago.

It follows Naru (Midthunder), a fierce and highly skilled warrior, who has been raised in the shadow of some of the most legendary hunters who roam the Great Plains, so when danger threatens her camp, she sets out to protect her people.
