As Hollywood faces a box office downturn, Predator: Badlands hopes to break the trend with a projected $60 million global opening. With a fresh take on the franchise and an R to PG-13 rating, the film aims to attract a younger audience while building on the success of its predecessor, Prey.
In 'Predator: Badlands,' director Dan Trachtenberg hints at a subtle connection to the Alien franchise, focusing on character dynamics rather than overt crossovers. With Elle Fanning as a synthetic and a Yautja on a dangerous mission, fans are left speculating about future links between these iconic universes.
