The Predator Is Again on the Hunt in First ‘Badlands’ Trailer

Dan Trachtenberg reinvented the Predator franchise in 2022 along with his shock, outta-nowhere prequel Prey. The movie, a few Predator alien looking Comanche warriors in 18th century pre-colonial America, earned sturdy critiques from followers and critics alike, and was simply the best-received film in your entire Predator franchise because the 1987 authentic starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Prey was ok to play in theaters even when it went straight to streaming on Hulu. Now Trachtenberg will get the prospect to see how his Predator fares in theaters, as his follow-up to Prey, Predator: Badlands, is now set for a launch in multiplexes (and on IMAX screens) this fall.

As an alternative of the previous, Badlands takes place sooner or later; as a substitute of North America a whole bunch of years in the past, it’s set on a distant planet. There’s a Predator in there for positive, however the human lead this time is performed by Elle Fanning. Past these two characters, there seems to be to be loads of violence (a Predator hallmark) and an replace of the basic Predator rating by Alan Silvestri.
