Predator: Badlands Set for November 2025 Release

Disney has confirmed that 'Predator: Badlands' will hit theaters on November 7, 2025, marking a return to theatrical releases for the franchise after the success of the Hulu-exclusive 'Prey' in 2022. Directed by Dan Trachtenberg, who also helmed 'Prey', the new film is said to be a standalone story featuring Elle Fanning in a leading role, although other casting details remain undisclosed. The plot is expected to revolve around two sisters whose paths diverge in a future setting, with the Predator alien likely returning as a central figure. This release strategically fills the slot previously held by the troubled Marvel film 'Blade', indicating a shift in Disney's approach to the franchise. Following 'Prey's' critical acclaim and record-breaking streaming performance, there is significant anticipation surrounding 'Badlands' and its potential success at the box office.
