  • Director Dan Trachtenberg secured Schwarzenegger’s personal clearance to use his likeness and cement the cameo as official franchise canon.
  • At San Diego Comic-Con, Trachtenberg unveiled the first 15 minutes of Predator: Badlands, introducing a Yautja protagonist paired with Elle Fanning’s Weyland-Yutani android Thia.
  • Predator: Badlands, Trachtenberg’s third entry after Prey and Killer of Killers, is the first film in the franchise without human characters and opens exclusively in theaters on November 7, 2025.
