The latest version of the Predator, set to be introduced in Predator: Badlands, has one significant advantage that sets him apart from any incarnations of the past. Considering that, the new Yautja debuting in Badlands has the potential to take the franchise and subsequent crossovers into a bold new direction.
Predator Badlands, one of two Predator films coming from director Dan Trachtenberg in 2025, will hit theaters this November. Unlike Trachtenberg’s last film in the saga, Prey, Badlands is set on an alien planet, a big swing for the series, and features a new take on one of the Predators, a first for the storied action franchise.
