It'll probably be like the last stupid Indian Predator film, that'll be girl boss all the way.

Exclusive Footage Description: CinemaCon 2025 audiences were the lucky few who got to see the first footage from Predator: Badlands. The footage sees a Predator crash-landing on what could either be an alien planet or a post-apocalyptic Earth. For the first time in franchise history, the Predator is truly outnumbered, with alternating shots of human gangs hunting down the Predator with laser rifles. Elle Fanning plays a mysterious and possibly cybernetic human, since we see her eyes roll to all white, who is trying to help the Predator. We see a new variant of a Predator chief with long white braids performing some sort of ritual.
There’s a flurry of tiny bits that’ll be exciting to explore further, namely a tease of a sequence involving a large subterranean chasm and plenty of showings for the Predator’s new weaponry as he hunts all kinds of alien creatures. The teaser ends with Elle Fanning telling the young Yautja protagonist that what he’s hunting is unbeatable, only to briefly see a massive kaiju-like creature that the Predator is going up against. The main Predator, without his helmet, lets out a mighty yell at the giant beast before he takes it on. Predator: Badlands looks like an entirely new territory for the franchise, but one that builds on Dan Trachtenberg’s excellent revitalization of the series in Prey.

Re posting my comment in the autistic Predator thread (yes really fuck you Shane Black)

Not going to be down on it from a teaser and frankly I think this looks cool as hell, they are atleast trying something WAY different and that should be applauded.

Same director as Prey. Predator protagonist is something that can be very cool if done well and the visual style is pretty badass too tbh. Fanning looks like a Wayland Android. Dude who is mocapped for the Predator is Samoan

Director / Studio is pitching it as this
"film is set in the future on a remote planet, where a young Predator (Schuster-Koloamatangi), outcast from his clan, finds an unlikely ally in Thia (Fanning) and embarks on a treacherous journey in search of the ultimate adversary."

I like that it is different. I fucking hate the CGI Predator face. Why can we not just have the tried and true prosthetics that they have used for every good version of the predator ever?

Also, if that is Elle Fanning....damn she got older.

Yeah the alien theory dude was talking about it being the Independence Day alien, but they didn't have noses, so I don't think the skull works. I'm predicting this is going to be a stinker much like that last stupid alien movie that came out, and I was right about it.

Do I want it to be good, sure that would be wonderful, but do I have a lot of hope that it will be the case, no not really.

Just do the goddamn comics and you have a whole MCU type deal that you could make. You could do a stupid Amazon series or whatever other streaming service, and milk it for all it's worth. I guess since that we're getting that stupid to alien Earth shit instead.

Also, fuck Ridley Scott.

Dr.Retarded, signing off....

She's going to be a teacher on the prowl and the alien will be her student. She's a different kind of Predator.

Alien Earth will be garbage, and this will be too, so speaketh the Rertadest of Doctors!

I do look forward to people watching The Predator movie and reporting about it here so we can all have a good laugh.

If it's great, I'm more than happy to eat crow, but I'm probably going to go hungry.

Everything about Badlands looks cool except the Predator which looks smaller and more female, Alien girl boss teams up with android girl boss?

I wish I didn’t see it that way, and that it didn’t spoil the potential for me, but here we are. Potential spoiled, movie unwatched.
