“Predator: Badlands” has taken a significant leap in reshaping the “Predator” universe, introducing elements that have thrilled longtime fans. Curious about these exciting developments? Our video above delves into how “Badlands” might be fulfilling the long-held wishes of enthusiasts everywhere.
For many devoted followers, the ultimate dream has been to seamlessly connect the “Predator” universe with the “Alien” franchise, steering clear of the contentious “Alien vs. Predator” films. While previous attempts have merely hinted at bridging these worlds, “Badlands” boldly establishes a direct link through the Weyland-Yutani Corporation, a pivotal enterprise present in both franchises. The narrative spotlights characters like Thia, played by Elle Fanning, originating from this colossal firm, bringing the two universes closer than ever.
This integration in “Predator: Badlands” raises the stakes and intertwines the franchises more intricately than before. Yet, it begs the question—after two stalled attempts to create a cohesive “Alien” and “Predator” cinematic universe, is it time for Disney to give it another shot?
The earlier “Alien vs. Predator” films—”Alien vs. Predator” and “Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem”—delivered mixed outcomes for 20th Century Studios. The first movie proved lucrative, raking in $177.4 million globally and garnering enough success to warrant a sequel.
However, “Requiem” failed to make a lasting impression, earning over $130 million but facing severe criticism. This led to the shelving of “Alien vs. Predator 3” and cast doubt on the viability of a unified cinematic world for these franchises. Nonetheless, with recent hits like “Alien: Romulus” and “Predator: Badlands” capturing audience attention at the box office, the possibility of a revitalized crossover seems promising. While there’s no official confirmation yet, an announcement may be on the horizon.

“Requiem” didn’t leave as much of an impact, making over $130 million and getting eviscerated by critics. That’s why “Alien vs Predator 3” never happened, and why the notion of creating a unified world for the film series looks dicey at best for 20th Century Studios. But with recent entries such as “Alien: Romulus” and “Predator: Badlands” blowing everyone away at the box office, the fate of such a crossover may be redeemed. There’s been no official announcement as of this writing, but don’t be surprised to hear of one in the works.
