Without spoiling details, there is a brief nod to Dutch in “ Predator: Killer of Killers ” (co-directed by Trachtenberg), which suggests he’s still alive and could make a grand return in the future. Not unlike how Schwarzenegger has been able to show up in multiple “ Terminator ” sequels, the last one being “T erminator: Dark Fate ” in 2019.

Badlands has raised immense anticipation and curiosity among the audience about whether, in this film, the worlds of the alien and the predators will collide

Predator: Badlands director Dan Trachtenberg sheds light on the film's Alien crossover and his shared universe plans.

Predator: Badlands centers on Dek (Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi), a young-and-hungry Yautja warrior who is the runt of the litter in his clan and has a whole lot to prove. He teams up with an unlikely ally: Thia ( Elle Fanning ), a synthetic made by the Weyland-Yutani company (from the Alien franchise).

Badlands trailer is full of alien beasts, gorgeous sci-fi vistas, and a Yautja hero who finds an unlikely ally in a synthetic.

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, "Badlands" director Dan Trachtenberg confirms Fanning's character Thia is a Weyland-Yutani synthetic, and he also explains why he chose that over casting the actress as a human.

Comic-Con 2025 is about to reenter the Grid. Disney will unveil details about “Tron: Ares,” which stars Jared Leto, Jeff Bridges and Greta Lee at an evening presentation in Comic-Con’s famed Hall H.

Predator: Badlands’ new trailer confirms that the Alien and Predator franchises have crossed over again – and I’m very excited about it.
