Disney Dining Serving up the latest Disney Eats, Treats, News, and More!
The idea of Spider-Man and Predator sharing a page—or even a screen—might have seemed impossible once. Yet here we are. Disney, the entertainment giant that now owns everything from the galaxy far, far away to the alien-ridden landscapes of Predator, continues to amaze us with its bold crossovers. Whether you love or loathe their handling of beloved franchises, you can’t deny that Disney knows how to generate buzz.
Take Prey (2022), a prequel to 1987’s Predator. Following the misstep of The Predator (2018), Prey revitalized the franchise and was a massive hit on Hulu/Disney+ and Star platforms. Similarly, Spider-Man has thrived under Disney’s roof, with Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021) smashing records to gross $1.95 billion worldwide and the Spider-Verse animated films becoming instant classics.

But now, a game-changing comic crossover is swinging our way: Marvel Comics‘ “Predator vs. Spider-Man”. Set for a 2025 release, this Marvel masterpiece will bring together sci-fi’s most dangerous hunter and the wall-crawling superhero. The recently revealed cover art, per ComicBook.com, shows Spider-Man locked in combat with a Predator atop a New York skyscraper—a sight that’s already fueling fan theories.
While the plot remains under wraps, some clues emerge from Marvel’s latest crossover “Predator vs. Black Panther”. That series ended with Predators leaving Wakanda armed with Vibranium technology. Will this new Predator be an upgraded foe for Spidey? Only time will tell, but Benjamin Percy and Marcelo Ferreira, the team behind “Predator vs. Black Panther.” and “Predator vs. Wolverine”, are back to helm this ambitious story.

If comics aren’t your thing, fear not. Both franchises have packed slates. For Spider-Man fans, the upcoming Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse sequel and Sony’s live-action projects, including Kraven the Hunter and a rumored Miles Morales film, promise plenty of excitement.
Predator enthusiasts have no shortage of thrills, either, with a Prey sequel, Predator: Badlands (2025), and a mysterious “secret” Predator movie on the horizon.
Looking ahead, could we see Predator and Spider-Man clash beyond the comic book pages? Disney’s ownership of both properties makes the wildest crossovers possible. Remember Alien vs. Predator? Anything is fair game in this ever-expanding multiverse.
For now, one thing’s certain: Spider-Man’s agility, wit, and resilience make him a worthy challenger to the Predator’s lethal skill set. After all, if it bleeds, Spidey can take it down.
