Big news for Predator fans! After the stunning performance of Amber Midthunder in the prequel *Prey*, it’s now Elle Fanning’s turn to face off against the iconic alien hunter. According to Deadline, Fanning will star in the upcoming film *Badlands*, a new installment in the Predator franchise set in the future.
Helmed by Dan Trachtenberg, who previously directed the highly praised *Prey*, this new venture promises to take the Predator saga into uncharted futuristic territory. While specific plot details remain under wraps, the buzz around Fanning’s involvement has already ignited fans’ excitement. Trachtenberg’s adept direction in *Prey*, which brought critical acclaim for its intense action sequences, cinematography, and authentic Indigenous cast, sets high expectations for *Badlands*.
A particularly intriguing aspect is whether *Badlands* will debut on Hulu like its predecessor. The platform played a significant role in *Prey*’s success, enabling a wider audience to appreciate Midthunder’s outstanding performance and the film’s overall craftsmanship. Meanwhile, fans are eagerly hoping for Midthunder’s return in the anticipated *Prey* sequel, which is still in development.
For those who missed *Prey*, it was hailed as possibly the best Predator movie since the 1987 original, thanks to its fresh perspective and gripping storytelling. If *Badlands* continues this trajectory, we could be looking at another hit for the franchise.
