New Predator: Badlands Trailer Unveils Futuristic Planet Quest as Director Rules Out Xenomorphs

Dan Trachtenberg emphasizes a story‑first use of Weyland‑Yutani, with Dutch’s potential return still unconfirmed.

Overview

  • The latest trailer spotlights a distant, hostile world where a banished Predator reluctantly allies with Thia, a Weyland‑Yutani android played by Elle Fanning.
  • Dimitrius Schuster‑Koloamatangi portrays the young Predator as the pair set out to hunt what they believe is the ultimate opponent.
  • Trachtenberg states there is no Xenomorph in the film and says the Alien‑universe nods exist for organic, narrative reasons.
  • The director confirms he met Arnold Schwarzenegger to discuss ideas, while tie‑in material placing Dutch and Naru in cryosleep keeps a return possible without any casting announcement.
  • German outlets list different theatrical dates for the local release, with reports citing November 6 or November 7, though the film is slated for early November in cinemas.
