"Predator: Badlands" stars a Predator, excludes humans

The upcoming "Predator: Badlands" movie will feature a Predator as the protagonist and no human characters, marking a significant departure for the franchise. This also confirms the Alien franchise crossover is now canon. Director Dan Trachtenberg revealed the film's concept originated from the desire to create a Predator movie without any human characters, leading to the inclusion of the Weyland-Yutani corporation. The trailer introduces a Predator named Dek and an android character. "Predator: Badlands" is set to premiere on November 7th, and the film's timeline may be set in the future, given the presence of advanced androids and the established Alien franchise connection.
