LOS ANGELES — The Predator is back, and the first teaser for “Predator: Badlands” hints at an exciting connection to another iconic sci-fi horror franchise.
Set in the future on a remote planet, the film follows a young Predator, played by Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi, as he embarks on a dangerous quest to find his ultimate adversary.
The trailer also gives us a first look at Elle Fanning, who portrays Thia, an ally to the main Predator.
What stands out about her character is her mysterious android nature, with the Weyland-Yutani logo etched into her eyes. For fans of the “Alien” franchise, that logo may spark some major interest, as Weyland-Yutani is a key player in that universe. Could this be laying the groundwork for an “Alien vs. Predator” reboot?
The footage also teases a variety of formidable foes, including a massive, four-legged beast, sentient tree roots, and another terrifying Predator wielding a glowing sword.
The upcoming film is directed by Dan Trachtenberg, who helmed “Prey,” a recent installment in the “Predator” franchise, which is streaming now on Hulu.
“Predator: Badlands” is produced by John Davis, Marc Toberoff, Ben Rosenblatt, and Brent O’Connor.
Experience the new film only in theaters November 7.
