Over 20 years after the franchises first collided on the big screen with Alien vs. Predator, the Alien and Predator sagas come together once again in the upcoming Predator: Badlands.
This time, however, Aliens and Predators won’t be battling it out like WWE superstars. Predator: Badlands provides a more subtle link between the two franchises, with Elle Fanning playing a character named Thia who happens to be a Weyland-Yutani android. Thia ends up a hostile alien planet, forced to team up with an unlikely ally: a young Predator named Dek.
The latest official social media teaser for Predator: Badlands makes the franchise connection crystal clear, with the Weyland-Yutani branding being put front and center. Watch below.
Predator: Badlands will release in theaters on November 7, 2025, in IMAX, Dolby Cinema, RealD 3D, Cinemark XD, 4DX, ScreenX, and premium screens everywhere.
Elle Fanning stars alongside Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi as Dek.
The newest entry in the franchise is set on a remote planet where a young Predator, outcast from his clan, finds an unlikely ally in Thia (Fanning) and embarks on a treacherous journey in search of the ultimate adversary. Dan Trachtenberg (Prey, 10 Cloverfield Lane) is back to direct.
