Discover the next evolution of the iconic sci-fi franchise in Predator: Badlands (2025). Following the massive success of Prey, visionary director Dan Trachtenberg returns to expand the universe in a way fans have never seen before.
A New Kind of Hunter
Predator: Badlands centers on Dek (Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi), a young Yautja warrior outcast from his clan for being a "runt." To reclaim his honor and avenge his fallen brother, Dek embarks on an impossible hunt on the lethal planet Genna. His target: the Kalisk, a terrifying apex predator deemed unkillable.
An Unlikely Alliance
Stranded and outmatched, Dek forms a reluctant partnership with Thia (Elle Fanning), a synthetic human created by the infamous Weyland-Yutani corporation. Together—along with a native creature nicknamed Bud—the two must navigate the hostile world, battling both its deadly fauna and the rigid traditions that define them. The film boldly connects the Predator and Alien lore, introducing the Weyland-Yutani corporation as a key player.
Released in November 2025 to critical acclaim and box office success, Predator: Badlands is a thrilling sci-fi adventure that explores the Yautja culture, delivers breathtaking action, and introduces the franchise's first-ever Predator hero.
