Overview

  • 20th Century Studios released the final trailer along with a poster and stills, confirming an exclusive November 7 rollout in IMAX, Dolby Cinema, RealD 3D, Cinemark XD, 4DX, ScreenX and other premium formats.
  • The film centers on Dek, a young Yautja played by Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi, undertaking a perilous hunt on a remote world teeming with new creatures and lethal terrain.
  • Elle Fanning portrays Weyland‑Yutani synth Thia and a twin named Tessa, with the trailer showing a damaged, legless Thia carried by Dek and hinting at multiple duplicate synthetics.
  • Producer Ben Rosenblatt reiterated that Xenomorphs do not feature in the movie, despite explicit ties to the Alien universe through Weyland‑Yutani.
  • Reports from a San Diego Comic-Con preview note substantial subtitled Yautja dialogue, and this marks Trachtenberg’s third Predator project after Prey and the animated Predator: Killer of Killers.
