In a recent conversation, the director Dan Trachtenberg, along with the movie’s main subject, delves into how the narrative of the upcoming film ties in with the broader storyline of the franchise.

In conversation with Trachtenberg, it was clarified that the upcoming movie titled “Predator: Badlands” will not just be set on the Predators’ native planet Yautja Prime, but also incorporate ideas from the broader Predator franchise universe.

The aim is to create a distinct and unique atmosphere for the movie titled “Predator: Badland“, making it feel different from the original series. Instead of the Predator being on Earth, he finds himself on another planet, becoming the hunted rather than the hunter. To survive, he will need to use his cunning intelligence.
