Adrien Brody as Royce, a mercenary who reluctantly leads a group of
elite warriors who come to realize they’ve been brought
together on an alien planet… as prey. With the exception of
a disgraced physician, they are all cold-blooded killers –
mercenaries, Yakuza, convicts, death squad members – human
“predators” that are now being systemically hunted and
eliminated by a new breed of alien Predators
