PREDATOR: BADLANDS Footage Reaction - The Predator is The Underdog - CinemaCon 2025
Disney showed us the first footage of director Dan Trachtenberg Predator: Badlands at CinemaCon, and holy shit… this movie looks wicked awesome!
I wasn’t sure what we were going to get from this movie, but now we know and fans of the franchise are going to flip! This movie is not set on Earth, it’s set on a hunting planet and this time around the Predator hunter isn’t the monster hunting humans.
We go into details about the footage we saw in our footage reaction video here, so watch it if you want to learn more and be entertained with out ridculous excitement.
The logline for the film reads: "A groundbreaking film in which one of the two main storylines delves into the intricate bond of two very different sisters, their familial ties are put to the ultimate test as they pursue divergent paths and missions."
The director previously explained: “The creature is front and centre, leading the charge. He’s still badass, but there’s something there that touches you emotionally, too. Creating a character you connect with, but are also super-intimidated by, has been challenging. But exciting.”
He explained that the idea came from a desire to “find another essential piece of cinema that does what Prey did spiritually — pushing the franchise’s boundaries, letting us root for a hero we rarely get to root for — but in a different way. And that transformed into this big idea of rooting for the Predator.”
Predator: Badlands hits theaters November 7.
