9 Horror Movie Villains Who Turned Hero In The Sequel

4. The Predators - Alien Vs Predator

We're really sorry to drag up the monstrosity that was Alien vs. Predator, but we needed the entries.

When a huge pyramid is discovered underground in the Antarctic, a group of humans, including guide, Lex Woods go to investigate. Inside, they find a Xenomorph Queen and a group of Predators just hanging out down there.

In reality, the Predators have been visiting Earth for thousands of years to hunt Xenomorphs using humans as bait. As the film progresses, a Predator called Scar forms a bond with Lex after he becomes impressed with her abilities as a warrior. They eventually team up to take down the aliens.

So really this film should be called: "Alien vs. Predator But Also Vs. Human For A Bit And Then They Join Forces."

That might not have fit on the poster.

By the end of the movie, the Predators are positioned as the human's allies against the Xenomorphs, which turns them into de facto heroes.

They still maintain a lot of their Predator-ish qualities, so they're not proper good guys. However, in this scenario, they are the preferable option to a species of horrifying monsters that lay eggs inside of people.
