1. AVP: Alien vs. Predator (2004)
The Xenomorph story begins in the first of the two crossover films, AVP. Set in 2004, this film, directed by Paul W. S. Anderson, brings to life the epic battle between the Xenomorphs and the Predators (Yautja). It reveals that Predators have been visiting Earth for millennia, with ancient cults sacrificing humans to Xenomorph facehuggers to create the ultimate prey for the Predators. Unfortunately, their 2004 hunting trip goes awry.
