On July 21, Predator: Badlands, which is the seventh film in the main franchise, released its official trailer that shows the two characters battling Predators while also forming a friendship. Here's everything to know about Predator: Badlands.

Director Dan Trachtenberg brought new footage to the convention alongside stars Elle Fanning and Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi to talk up the movie.

Dan Trachtenberg is directing his third Predator film with Badlands, and if the first 15 minutes are any indication, he's about to score a hat trick.

Predator: Badlands took over Hall H at San Diego Comic‑Con 2025, and its panel kicked off with a high‑impact 15‑minute preview that had the crowd roaring.

Predator: Badlands follows an outcast Predator who's forced to set out on his own — that is, until he meets Thia (Elle Fanning), a whip-smart android. Together, they set out on a journey to find and battle an enemy.

The latest movie in the "Predator" series flips the script to focus on the bad guys who always lose to the humans in the end, director Dan Trachtenberg said on Friday.

Star Wars, however, wasn’t the only inspiration. In prior interviews Trachtenberg has mentioned masterpiece Shadow of the Colossus as inspiring Predator: Badlands, but it turns out there are many other games that factored into the film’s companion mechanic, including Half-Life 2, Uncharted, and God of War.
