There are usually not one however two Predator films popping out subsequent yr — together with a secret one whose existence has by no means been revealed earlier than.
That’s what twentieth Century Studios’ Steve Asbell instructed The Hollywood Reporter in a dialog about the way forward for the corporate. It seems that Dan Trachtenberg — who made the latest Predator prequel Prey — has directed two completely different Predator tasks, and each are anticipated to premiere in 2025.
Asbell defined…
After Prey turned a hit, Dan [Trachtenberg] got here again and mentioned he didn’t wish to do Prey 2. And we’re like, “What do you wish to do?” And he rattled off a bunch of concepts that had been actually loopy however actually cool. We’ve truly achieved two of them. Two are popping out subsequent yr. One I can’t discuss but, however the different one is the live-action Predator movie with Elle Fanning that simply wrapped in New Zealand. That’ll be out theatrically someday subsequent yr.
The movie with Fanning is titled Predator: Badlands, wich Asbell referred to as “a fully bonkers concept. It’s a sci-fi factor, but it surely’s not what everyone thinks it’s.”

However then he let slip that along with Predator: Badlands, there’s “a secret Predator film that can come out earlier than the theatrical one however I can’t say something about but.” This one they “have completely different plans for” — presumably that means it received’t play in theaters. (Prey was a Hulu authentic movie.) No matter this different Predator movie is, and wherever it performs, it was additionally directed by Trachtenberg.
If we actually get two extra Predator movies subsequent yr, that work mark a big upswing within the output of this franchise. It took 23 years for there to be three Predator films; 1987’s authentic, 1990’s Predator 2, and 2010’s Predators. These two movies would mark three Predators in simply 4 years, all directed by Trachtenberg.
Predator: Badlands is scheduled to premiere in theaters on November 7, 2025.
