Get ready for a thrilling twist in the Predator franchise! The highly anticipated film, Predator: Badlands, is set to take audiences on an unexpected journey. Directed by Dan Trachtenberg, this movie promises to be a unique and groundbreaking addition to the series. But here's where it gets intriguing...
In February 2024, it was announced that Trachtenberg would be helming not one, but three Predator films! While he was busy with the live-action Predator: Badlands, he was also working on an animated anthology movie, Predator: Killer of Killers. And now, with the release of a new clip, we get a glimpse into the world of Predator: Badlands, where our Yautja hero faces off against some terrifying alien tentacle monsters. But that's not all...
The film's official synopsis teases a story set in the future on a remote planet, where a young Predator, an outcast from his clan, finds an unlikely ally in Thia (Elle Fanning). Together, they embark on a perilous journey in search of the ultimate adversary. But is this ally Thia, or someone else? And what role do the sisters Thia and Tessa play in this epic adventure?
According to the casting call, Thia has spent most of her life in a laboratory and is now embarking on her first big adventure in the world. She is described as incredibly smart, witty, enthusiastic, and unflappable, with an innate disregard for danger. On the other hand, Tessa has a militant intensity when it comes to achieving her family's goals and mission objectives. She will not let anything get in her way, not even her twin sister.
The lead Predator is played by Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi, and the film is produced by a talented team, including John Davis, Dan Trachtenberg, Marc Toberoff, Ben Rosenblatt, and Brent O'Connor. With a release date set for November 7, 2025, Predator: Badlands is sure to be a thrilling addition to the franchise. So, are you ready to dive into this new world of Predator?

But here's the controversial part... Some fans might argue that Predator: Badlands is straying too far from the original Predator formula. What do you think? Is this a bold and refreshing take on the franchise, or a missed opportunity? Share your thoughts and let the discussion begin!
