"Predator: Badlands Trailer Unveils Unique New Predator"

Author : Charlotte May 22,2025

The monster is back for more: the teaser trailer for the upcoming sci-fi action sequel Predator: Badlands just hit the internet.

In the sneak peek visual below, we meet star Elle Fanning's character, who appears to be a resident of a dangerous future remote planet. However, the Predator she will come into contact with is unique, possibly even serving as the protagonist this time around. "The director of Prey welcomes you to a world of pain," the teaser promises.

PlayApart from this new-look Predator, there are clear nods to the Alien universe, sparking speculation that *Badlands* may set up a new *Aliens vs Predator* movie. We see Fanning's eyes mimic the Weyland Yutani reboot effect seen in *Alien: Romulus*, suggesting she might be a synthetic. Additionally, there's a glimpse of the Weyland Yutani logo (the notorious megacorp central to the *Alien* franchise) on a damaged vehicle.

That's the Weyland Yutani logo on Elle Fanning's eyes. Is she a synth?Predator: Badlands was revealed to be in development back in February 2024, with its release date confirmed in October of that year. The trailer debuted exclusively at CinemaCon earlier this month, marking the first time fans have been able to catch a glimpse of what's in store.

During CinemaCon, 20th Century Studios released an official synopsis for the film, which reads: "In the future on a remote planet, a young Predator, outcast from his clan, finds an unlikely ally in Thia and embarks on a treacherous journey in search of the ultimate adversary."

"Something unprecedented happens in this movie," Fanning told the assembled crowd of reporters and theater industry professionals at CinemaCon. "My character is not the one being chased. My character actually teams up with the Predator. And you get to see him in a completely new light. And... I'll stop there!"

Dan Trachtenberg, renowned for directing 10 Cloverfield Lane and the Predator prequel Prey, helmed the film from a script he co-wrote with Patrick Aison. Predator: Badlands is set to premiere in theaters on November 7, 2025.
