“I said, ‘I could take that,’ Midthunder told GameSpot.
“I literally said, ‘I can kill that.’
I saw him in the woods.
And I saw people walking away.
When I went to go see it, I saw a big group of people.
And then when I looked, I saw the Predator.
And while I was amazed and just mesmerized at the suit and the detail and everything.
It was like there was a lot of duality in that experience for me.”
However, DiLiegro appearing before him in the costume still made him stop in his tracks.
“It’s pretty wild,” Beavers said.
“The first time I saw him there were whisperings on set.
And then I saw him come walking through the trees.

And so it looks really good in person.”
Prey arrives on Hulu on Friday, August 5.
