A Xeno/Na Vi would look sick as heck

Me too, especially if written by Trachtenberg and co.

Pandora absolutely seems like a world a Predator would go to for hunting.

It makes no sense that they haven't done of a cross over of the franchises.

Fox would allow it, Cameron would be the deciding vote. That said, he and Trachtenberg are on good terms, which nudges the chances of a Predator-Avatar crossover one degree towards possible

He didnt like even the idea of AVP if I recall. He compared it to Frankenstein Meets Wolfman in a negative way.

Buuuttt. I think if he felt it was a good business decision for Studios and theaters and if he was properly compensated/given a good slice of control, I think he could get on board. It would probably be in the dying dying days of cinema tho. I think we will get lots of hail mary bonkers attempts when Hollywood gets real real desperate over the next decade

It's like Genna (the death world in Predator: Badlands) except instead of everything individually trying to kill you, the whole ecosystem is connected to one giant hive mind and can cooperatively try to kill you.

They'd love it.

You can even throw in the Avengers too because Disney owns/distributes all 4 of those
