Predator: Badlands – Release date, cast & everything we know

As a seasoned gamer and die-hard Predator franchise fan with over two decades of watching these iconic movies, I can confidently say that the upcoming release of Predator: Badlands has me genuinely excited! After the disappointing turn of events post-2018’s The Predator, it’s refreshing to see the franchise making a comeback.


As a pumped-up gamer, I’m thrilled to share some juicy details about the upcoming installment of Predator: Badlands! Mark your calendars, folks, because we now have a confirmed release date for this highly-anticipated game. Let me fill you in on what makes it so special!

The Predator series is experiencing a significant resurgence. Previously finding it challenging to recapture the acclaim and box office performance of its early films, the latest installment titled “Prey” has achieved both critical and financial triumph.

After the release of the 2022 movie, the franchise plans to grow further, with Predator: Badlands as the upcoming sequel.

Now that we have the release date and initial cast details, let’s take a look at what to expect from Predator: Badlands before it hits theaters.

Release Date: When is the movie coming out?

Predator: Badlands will be released in theatres on November 7, 2025

Originally, the Blade movie from the Marvel Cinematic Universe was scheduled to come out on that particular date. But now, it looks like Badlands will be released instead.

Additionally, it’s noteworthy that Prey, from the same franchise as 2018’s The Predator, had its premiere bypassing theaters and instead debuted directly on Hulu, setting new records for the streaming platform in the process.

Cast: Who is set to star?

Elle Fanning will take the leading role in the upcoming Predator: Badlands movie. Fanning, who began her acting career when she was barely three years old, has blossomed into a prominent actress as an adult.

She has made a name for herself by starring in Maleficent and The Beguild and most recently found major success in her role as Catherine in The Great. 

According to Deadline, it’s said that Elle Fanning will take on a role in director Dan Trachtenberg’s upcoming Predator film, tentatively titled “Badlands.” The story is set in the future. (paraphrased from your text)

Although she’s well-respected, Fanning hasn’t ventured much into action roles before, so taking on the part in Predator could mark a significant shift for this budding actress.

Additionally, it’s worth noting that director Dan Trachtenberg is set to return for Badlands, a development that may not be surprising considering the acclaim and success he garnered with Prey.

Currently, there are no other actors involved with the project, but we’ll keep you informed as soon as we have more details.

Plot: What will the movie be about?

In a similar vein to Prey, Predator: Badlands will be a self-contained story. Regrettably for fans of Prey, this implies that it won’t have any link to the 2022 movie whatsoever.

The specifics about the storyline remain mostly hidden, but it’s been disclosed that the film is slated to take place at some point in the future.

One distinctive aspect of the game Prey is that it offers a unique experience within the Predator series due to its narrative and exploration of Comanche culture, as seen primarily from the perspective of the character, Naru.

Predator: The Badlands series faces a significant challenge in terms of storytelling, given that the franchise had lost its appeal prior to the release of Prey.

Trailers

Right now, there aren’t any trailers available for Predator: Badlands. But don’t worry if you haven’t caught Prey yet or weren’t aware it was a standalone film – I’ve got a sneak peek from the movie especially for you! Enjoy!
