There Are Two Predator Movies Coming In 2025, Somehow Both Directed By Prey’s Dan Trachtenberg
Earlier this year, 20th Century Studios announced that Predator: Badlands will mark the franchise’s return to the big screen for the first time since 2018’s The Predator. But apparently the studio has much bigger plans for the franchise than anyone believed, and that includes a previously unannounced secret Predator movie.
20th Century Studios President Steve Asbell dropped the news during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. He also confirmed that Prey director Dan Trachenberg is directing both of the upcoming Predator films.
“After Prey became a success, Dan [Trachtenberg] came back and said he didn’t want to do Prey 2,” recalled Asbell. “And we’re like, ‘What do you want to do?’ And he rattled off a bunch of ideas that were really crazy, but really cool. We’ve actually done two of them. Two are coming out next year. One I can’t talk about yet, but the other one is the live-action Predator film with Elle Fanning that just wrapped in New Zealand. That’ll be out theatrically sometime next year… It’s titled Badlands and it is an absolutely bonkers idea. It is a sci-fi thing, but it’s not what everybody thinks it is. And I mean, it’s awesome. It is so nuts. But in Dan, we trust.”
