Alien vs. Predator - Watch Order: Release Order
The Alien vs. Predator crossover franchise brings together two of science fiction's most iconic alien species in brutal combat, with humans caught in the deadly crossfire. Set in an alternate timeline separate from the main Alien and Predator continuities, these films explore the ancient connection between the species, revealing that Predators have been using xenomorphs as the ultimate prey for centuries on Earth.
This compact two-film series provides a complete story arc from the Antarctic discovery of an ancient Predator hunting ground to the devastating consequences when the conflict spills into small-town America. While not considered canon to either parent franchise, the AvP films create their own mythology around humanity's unwitting role in this eternal alien conflict.
