According to a press release, thePreyfilmmakers “were committed to creating a film that provides an accurate portrayal of the Comanche and brings a level of authenticity that rings true to its Indigenous peoples.” The film features a Native Comanche producer, Jhane Myers, plus a cast “comprised almost entirely of Native and First Nation’s talent.”

Preyis also offered on Hulu entirely in Comanche as a language option or with Comanche subtitles.
Midthunder toldThe Hollywood Reporterabout bringing Indigenous representation to a major Hollywood franchise: “You very rarely get good representation — good being accurate, respectful or something to be proud about.”
She added, “This is the first time you get to see an Indigenous female action hero at the center of a film. That in and of itself is a really incredible statement.”
Preyis now streaming on Hulu.
