Well if it is gonna be retconned and this is the same pistol it will most likely change and no longer belong to a pirate if they change how greyback acquires it.
Either way this predator isn’t greyback so if it has something to do with it either this predator has some connections to greyback or he’s a badblood and greyback will be the one to hunt him down at the end of the film.

I’m about 100% sure this is just a typical flintlock pistol.
Look at the scene that’s going on. She’s trying to hide it looks like, or take some cover, while another warrior is taking off on horseback. My guess is there is a battle of some kind, we can tell by the trailers there is human on human fighting. This scene MAY involve Feral, her expression looks pretty fearful and she looks a little beaten up. But I feel like its a generic pistol, nothing connecting this to Greyback. I think she picks it up and uses it though, like its right there by her. But I feel its just an easter egg, not a direct connection.

Honestly sounds like copium. There is no such thing as “typical flintlock pistols” as again, all pistols are custom made due to the high status weapon it presents to everyone. Rifle muskets on the other hand are all usually the same with some being unique due to being the usual arms for regulars with some being commissioned by wealthy upperclassmen.
If we are going with the lore that it belonged to an infamous pirate, then one knows that criminals no matter the time period always prized their own unique items, whenever it’s swords, outfits, weapons, loot, ect, so something of this high end weapon that isn’t common to regular lower working class will definitely be something unique of it’s own. What also strongly supports this is that if these are fur traders, then they can be rich off the sales of fur trades and other areas, seeing that fur traders would have enough wealth to operate in other economic areas. They would have the finances to commission a custom made weapon of their choosing, especially a flintlock pistol. I have no idea if Raphael is going to be a pirate still or a fur trapper at this point of time but we don know that wealthy people (honest or not) spent money on extravagant things, and a custom made pistol would be one of said items.
If Naru does use it, could be one she captured in battle or given to her by a settler, perhaps Raphael himself, to help deal with the Predator. Who knows how it’s there but regardless the images strongly suggest its the pistol from P2
If they went to the trouble of getting the original prop back for filming then it has to be Greyback’s and earlier leaks did say he was involved in the movie.
I’m gonna take a bet that he either kills or helps kill Feral.

I would actually really enjoy seeing that. It would save the movie for me, if he shows up and helps Naru in some fashion. It dicks with the lore though, because doesn’t this take place before he meets Adaline? And isn’t that meeting his first hunt on earth? So why would he be here then?
Guys
it’s just a pistol
and Feral doesn’t look at all like Greyback Elder or someone else that we know from the Lost Clan
if than it will connect somehow okay, but FOR SURE Feral it’s not someone we know.

Remember a lot of the stuff from Predator 2 is stolen and still missing to this day. The reason the Clan shown in Predator 2 is even called the Lost Tribe is a meta joke at the fact the vast majority of the Suits used in filming went missing after production and still haven’t been recovered.
Getting the original Flintlock prop to use for filming, a prop which is 30+ years old as a reminder, is a lot more of a pain in the ass then just commissioning another Flintlock for the movie. So them going to the effort to use said original prop, combined with leaks from earlier this year: yeah Greyback is gonna be involved in some fashion.

Yeah the correct name should be Los Angeles Hunting Party, but Lost Clan became more used and practical.

idk why does the RE show have a dua lipa dance scene, Blade- I mean tripled cloned black Wesker, completely unrelated made up characters, and just throws in a couple recognizable monsters in so it can call itself Resident Evil
none of this matters to the people writing. Rings of Power, Halo, Witcher etc we are in bizarro world rn
just throw some nostalgiabait in and then you’re given complete freedom to make your own fanfic or resurrect some 10 year old script for a different movie.
We just had a P2018 retconning trophy hunting into le climate change war over autism, there’s no quality control here
the sky is the limit especially with streaming services

This is why I don’t have high expectations for Prey, The Predator franchise needs to be put to bed, they have run out of ideas for it because any idea you can think of probably already has a comic book about it. In my opinion what they should have done for Predator 5 is the Jim Hopper story, It would be nice to see a predator win for once, but I can’t see them doing that because humans have to feel on top in this type of movie.
It is the curse of 80’s franchises to be puppeteer’d around like zombies for cheap

Film has been confirmed to be set in 1719.
edit: regarding 1719 as the setting, spring/early summer 1719 was the first large Comanche raid on Spanish colonies. The Spanish then gathered an army of their own soldiers and native allies to launch a retaliatory raid on the Comanche in the late summer/fall, which never found the Comanche tribes.
Historically that was because they were probably raiding further north at the time, but it would be neat if the movie explained it as basically they didn’t find anyone because the Predator had fucked up the tribe that raided the Spanish colonies
