20th Century Studios has debuted an action-packed and creature-heavy new trailer for Predator: Badlands this morning, giving a closer look at the unexpected team-up between a young Yautja warrior and a Weyland-Yutani synth.
Predator: Badlands will release in theaters on November 7, 2025, in IMAX, Dolby Cinema, RealD 3D, Cinemark XD, 4DX, ScreenX, and premium screens everywhere.
Watch the trailer below!
Elle Fanning stars alongside Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi as Yautja warrior 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. The new trailer warns that the warrior has chosen the most dangerous game on the most dangerous planet possible.
Trachtenberg (Prey, 10 Cloverfield Lane) directs from a script he co-wrote with Patrick Aison (Prey).
“There’s a unique hook to her character that is exciting in the pairing of [her and Dek],” Trachtenberg previously teased to BD of one of Fanning’s characters. The trailer finally brings answers on that front: Thia is a damaged synth who will be strapped to the back of Dek in their bid to hunt big game.
The trailer also brings a new poster that supports the trailer’s new weaponry and creature action: it welcomes fans to a world of hurt.
Owned by Disney under the 20th Century Studios umbrella, the Predator franchise of course kicked off with the original action-horror classic in 1987. That was followed by sequels Predator 2, Predators, The Predator, and Prey, as well as the two Alien vs. Predator movies. The long-running franchise also includes all kinds of comic books and games.
Get ready for a very different type of Predator movie this fall.
