Dan Trachtenberg’s Secret ‘Predator’ Movie Puts ‘Legion’ Co-Star Amber Midthunder In The Lead

Discussing Film has learned that Legion star Amber Midthunder is taking the lead role in Skulls, which will soon be starting production in Calgary, Alberta. /Film has independently confirmed the accuracy of this report. Midthunder can currently be seen as a series regular on The CW’s Roswell, New Mexico, so she already has some alien experience. Otherwise, she’ll soon be seen alongside Liam Neeson in The Ice Road, and she also had a bit part with him recently in The Marksman too.
We don’t know exactly how the Predator franchise ties into the plot for Skulls. However, the powerful aliens who have killed some of Earth’s deadliest soldiers would make for a formidable opponent if the aforementioned Comanche woman was out on her own in the middle of the woods trying to prove herself as a warrior. Perhaps thinking she’s being tested by her tribe, she will try to deal with the stealthy creatures as best she can. That’s purely speculation on our part, but if that’s the case, we’re again frustrated by how much fun this reveal would have been in theaters. It would have blown the Unbreakable reveal at the end of Split out of the water.
