Predator: Badlands Revealed at CinemaCon, Release Set for November 7

CinemaCon unveiled the first footage of 'Predator: Badlands,' directed by Dan Trachtenberg, known for the successful 2022 film 'Prey'. Set for release on November 7, 2025, the film stars Elle Fanning as a mysterious possibly cybernetic human who teams up with a Predator in a twist where the alien hunter becomes a protagonist against even greater threats. The footage showcases a barren alien landscape, new high-tech weaponry, and creatures more formidable than the Predators themselves. Fanning's character, unlike previous human protagonists, collaborates with the Predator, showcasing him in a new light as they navigate the 'Badlands'. This installment is part of two upcoming films, with the second's details still under wraps. Trachtenberg's innovative approach continues to refresh the franchise, as seen in the acclaimed 'Prey' which was set in the 1700s.
