1. AVP: Alien vs. Predator (2004)

In the Alien timeline, the story begins with AVP: Alien vs. Predator, directed by Paul W. S. Anderson. Set in 2004, this film explores a "battle of the titans" concept that originated in a 1989 comic. It reveals that Predators, or Yautja, have been visiting Earth for thousands of years. Ancient cults would sacrifice humans to Xenomorph queens, leading to the creation of adult Xenomorphs for the Predators to hunt. Unfortunately, the 2004 hunting trip doesn't go as planned.
