The humanoid creature has been on the big screen since 1987. With “Predator: Badlands” in theaters, here’s the back story on the franchise.
Badlands is getting attention for its prominent use of Weyland-Yutani, the organization that has been a major part of the Alien franchise since the start. Yet this is hardly the first time Alien and Predator have bled
With a third 'Predator' film under his belt, Dan Trachtenberg told Deadline about the subtle 'Alien' crossover with his latest entry in the franchise.
Predator: Badlands hints at the future in a very exciting way, and it breaks new ground for the franchise as a whole.
Fanning also shares how she tapped into two Weyland-Yutani androids, both physically and mentally.
In other words, Trachtenberg didn't want Predator: Badlands to feel like so many other modern blockbusters that only make sense if you're watched the movies and shows leading up to it (looking at you Marvel).
