Two New Predator Films Tease Alien Crossover

The Predator franchise is undergoing a major expansion with two upcoming films: the animated anthology Predator: Killer of Killers, which will explore Yautja hunts throughout history and aims to address the series' tradition of reactionary human protagonists, and the live-action Predator: Badlands, set for release in November 2025 and starring Elle Fanning. In Badlands, a human character teams up with a Predator, representing a significant shift in the franchise's approach by positioning the Predator as a hero. The first trailer for Badlands teases a potential crossover with the Alien universe, reigniting speculation about future Alien vs. Predator events. These projects build on the critical momentum of Prey and promise to deepen and diversify franchise lore. Iconic elements such as Predator 2's trophy room continue to fuel fan excitement and anticipation. The franchise's renewed focus on innovation and crossover potential signals a transformative new era for both Predator and Alien properties.
