‘Predator: Badlands’ Starring Elle Fanning Releases in Theaters November 2025

In the wake of Dan Trachtenberg’s (10 Cloverfield Lane) Prey going straight to Hulu back in 2022, we’ve learned that Disney will be releasing the follow-up film in theaters.

Also being directed by Trachtenberg, Predator: Badlands releases on November 7, 2025. Elle Fanning (The Neon Demon) has been set to star in the fresh new installment.

It’s interesting to note that November 7, 2025 had been the date occupied by Marvel’s long-delayed Blade reboot, but that project has now been bumped off the schedule completely.

Dan Trachtenberg is on board to co-write and direct Badlands. We don’t know much of anything about the movie at this time, but we understand it’s set to be another solo movie rather than a sequel to Prey. Stay tuned for more on Predator: Badlands as we learn it.

Amber Midthunder starred in Hulu’s Prey as a Comanche woman who goes against gender norms and traditions to become a warrior, bravely taking down a Predator in the process.

Now owned by Disney under the 20th Century Studios umbrella, the Predator franchise of course kicked off with the original action-horror classic back in 1987. That film was followed by sequels Predator 2, Predators, The Predator, and Prey, as well as the two Alien vs. Predator movies. The long-running franchise also includes all kinds of comic books and video games.
