With the arrival of the new Alien, it was getting odd that there was no Predator on the way, and it seems we spoke too soon, as “Badlands” is coming with Elle Fanning (The Great and Maleficent) in the lead role.

The movie will continue the story of the iconic horror franchise, marking the return of one of the most beloved and feared creatures in cinema. Once again, the project will be directed by Dan Trachtenberg.

The sci-fi and action classic has recently begun production, and it appears to be set sometime in the future, which could potentially connect with the last film: “Prey” starring Amber Midthunder.

Thia has spent most of her life in a laboratory and is now embarking on her first great adventure in the world. She is incredibly intelligent, resourceful, enthusiastic, and unflappable.
