Predator: Badlands
The upcoming filmPredator : Badlandswill serve as the next installation in thePredatorseries to be helm by Dan Trachtenberg , and it comes in blunt line to his previousPredatormovie , Prey . resign on Hulu in 2022,Preywas met with critical blessing and became one of the most streamed film following its premiere . While film inthe Predator franchisehave been unevenly received , Preyrevitalized the perish franchise and made a subsequence likePredator : Badlandsviable . Now , surprising newfootage ofPredator : Badlandsfrom CinemaConteases a complete change .
Much of the selective information aboutPredator : Badlandsis still being kept under wraps , but this fresh footage does make the flick ’s plot a bit clearer . Predator : Badlandswill star Elle Fanningin a leading part that will see her team up with the friendless Predator , who is on the face of it being hunt . She remarks that he is attempting to hound something that ca n’t be killed , creating intrigue about what enemy could be outflank the Predator . Along with the surprising twist of seeing a human team up with a Predator , the unexampled motion picture also features another big difference toPrey .
Predator: Badlands' “Other Worldly” Location Is Very Different From Prey’s 18th Century Tribal Setting
Predator: Badlands Marks A Stark Contrast From Prey
WhilePrey 2has been confirmedand will hopefully return audience to Naru ’s humans , Trachtenberg ’s upcomingPredatormovie is going to look completely unlike . In contrast toPrey ’s eighteenth century circumstance and focalize on a Comanche community that is plagued by both the Predator and by French traders . The CinemaCon footage ofBadlandsis described as being " otherworldly . “Preyfelt very stripped down and very natural . Amber Midthunder ’s persona , Naru , while being a hero on her own , was also clearly a part of a community and link up to her localization .
The foreign place setting and making the Predator the hero certainly ensure that Trachtenberg ’s plastic film will take the enfranchisement in a completely young direction .
In contrast , Badlandswill see the predatory animal take nub microscope stage , and the setting will be much more alien as well . WherePreywas easy identifiable as being on Earth , Predator : Badlandsis reportedly the most otherworldly movie of the franchise so far . The new picture show will take lieu on an exotic planet and will see the Predator take on other monstrous foeman with Fanning ’s role at his side . The alien stage setting and take a shit the Predator the fighter certainly ensure that Trachtenberg ’s picture will take the enfranchisement in a completely new direction .
Predator: Badlands' Weapons & Combat Will Also Be A Big Reversal From Prey
The Tech Seems Much More Advanced
Along with its completely different setting , vulture : Badlandswill also feature updated weapons that will give its fight a completely dissimilar feel than those ofPrey . Throughout the 2022 movie , Naru largely relies on very simplistic arm like a bow or 18th - century pistol , with much of her success stemming from her ability to outsmart the Predator . Part of what madePreywork so well was see Naru , who is a skilled warrior , total to understand that finding smarter solutions can often be more in force than advanced weapons .
Though paired with the unfortunate news of the Marvel Cinematic Universe ’s Blade reboot being delayed indefinitely , this week saw the exciting confirmation that Predator : Badlands will be hitting field on November 7 , 2025 . With Dan Trachtenberg and Patrick Aison back lead the charge , some may be enquire whether it will hold any connections to prior marauder movie and , admittedly , while it may be too other to state , I think it ’s possible , but not likely . The duo ’s anterior piece of work on Prey laid the foundation for a act of iconic Easter egg , include the firelock pistol Danny Glover nonplus in Predator 2 . However , with Badlands say to be position in a waste and shoot in New Zealand , it seems unlikely for a connexion to be made to prior installments barring the titular outlander ’s arriver , though with how well Trachtenberg deal this in Prey , I ’m certainly okay with no direct references .
Preyfelt very character - focused , with Naru ’s weapon just being one small filename extension of herself . vulture : Badlands ’s focus on the Predator means that the weapons would necessarily have to be much more futuristic , since it has long been institute that the Predators have very advanced applied science . The CinemaCon footage shows the marauder riding something like a speeder bike and using a sword whose sharpness heats up . While this is undeniably a heavy variety fromPrey , it is very exciting and makes sense in the differing context ofPredator : Badlands .
