20th Century Fox has released the final trailer for Shane Black's The Predator - and it doesn't hold back on bloody Predators vs. humans violence or R-rated language. The preview also provides a better look at the new version of the Hell Hounds from Black's franchise sequel/reboot.

Directed by Black (from a script he cowrote with his longtime collaborator Fred Dekker), The Predator pits a ragtag group of troubled ex-soldiers against not only the titular alien hunter, but also their "buddies" like the Hell Hounds and the bigger (and even deadlier) upgrade Predator. Black's film has gone through extended reshoots and multiple release date delays, but is finally ready to hit U.S. theaters next month. Fox will actually premiere the movie at the Toronto International Film Festival ahead of then, in an attempt to further drum up interest and (hopefully) generate positive buzz.

The studio has also released one more theatrical trailer for The Predator, thus kicking off the final stage of its marketing blitz. Even more than Predator trailers past, this new promo doubles-down on the film's bloody mayhem and Black's trademark wise-cracking humor to sell the whole thing. It even includes a short clip where the character Traeger (Sterling K. Brown) explains why the creature is called "The Predator" in the first place. Take a look in the space below:

Brown is joined in The Predator cast by a roster that includes Boyd Holbrook (Logan) as Quinn McKenna, the film's de facto protagonist. McKenna's fellow ex-military men - played by Trevante Rhodes, Keegan-Michael Key, Alfie Allen, and Thomas Jane - each get a brief moment to shine in the final trailer, along with Olivia Munn as the scientist who helps them and Yvonne Strahovski as McKenne's ex-wife, Emily. In addition to the movie's gory action, the final trailer also takes some time to showcase the witty interplay and onscreen chemistry between these various actors.

While The Predator keeps looking better with each subsequent trailer, it remains to be seen if the final movie turns out okay after so much post-production tinkering. The film's clearly embracing a "Bigger is Better" philosophy when it comes to reviving the Predator brand, but that doesn't necessarily mean it will succeed in that approach. Not to mention, The Predator is currently set to open lower than 2004's AVP: Alien vs. Predator at the box office, which would be a bit of a disappointment. Still, if Black's requel manages to pick up more momentum over the next couple weeks (aided by a good showing at the TIFF), then The Predator may yet manage to surpass expectations, on multiple fronts.
