Overview
- Director Dan Trachtenberg says he intentionally built the crossover by centering the story on Weyland-Yutani as he pursued an “adventure movie about a monster and a robot.”
- Recent trailers and featurettes display prominent Weyland-Yutani branding and on-screen references to MU/TH/UR, aligning the film with Alien iconography.
- Elle Fanning stars as Thia, a damaged Weyland-Yutani synthetic who forms an uneasy alliance with a Predator named Dek on the planet Genna.
- Footage and interviews confirm multiple synthetic types in the narrative, including a battalion of weaponized “drone hunters.”
- Predator: Badlands opens November 7, with India releases set in English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu.
