1. AVP: Alien vs. Predator (2004)

In terms of the timeline, the Xenomorph story kicks off with the first crossover film, AVP: Alien vs. Predator. Set in 2004, this film, directed by Paul W. S. Anderson, brings to life the epic battle between the Xenomorphs and the Predators (known as the "Yautja"). Humans uncover that Predators have been visiting Earth for millennia, with ancient cults sacrificing themselves to Xenomorph facehuggers to create the ultimate prey for the Predators. Unfortunately, the 2004 hunting trip doesn't go as planned.
