First Look - Predator: Badlands
As if getting a hot AF look at Predator: Killer of Killers recently wasn't already Predator enough, what with three stories and all, Disney and 20th Century Studios just dropped the first full teaser for Prey director Dan Trachtenberg's future-set Predator: Badlands and at the risk of sounding really corny, it looks badass.
No faffin' about here, take a look below:
Set on a remote planet where an outcast Predator (Dimitrius Shuster-Koloamatangi) allies itself with an unlikely human campanion (Elle Fanning), the pair seek to find "the ultimate adversary" in arguably one of the best Predator settings since Trachtenberg's brilliant Prey. And with a futuristic tilt, Badlands should see the biggest expansion of the Predator universe to date.
This current revival of the oft maligned series looks to reset the bar yet again and with Trachtenberg behind both this and Predator: Killer of Killers we just hope the Predator gods acknoweledge not to try and fix what's currently not broken and to leave the direction of the IP in the hands Dan and co.
Predator: Badlands is coming to cinemas and IMAX November 6, 2025. Stay tuned for more as it becomes available and just watch the trailer for now on repeat.
As a side note, our very own Joab "Joaby" Gilroy penned a Predator/Prey tale of his own that is more than just 'fanfic' -- click here to learn more!
