This movie is unique for the Predator franchise because, for the first time, the Predator takes on a hero role instead of being the usual terrifying villain. The popcorn bucket makes the young Yautja warrior look surprisingly cute, giving audiences a reason to root for him.

Predator: Badlands is directed by Dan Trachtenberg and written by Patrick Aison and Brian Duffield. The movie stars Elle Fanning and Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi. According to The Walt Disney Company, the story is set on a distant planet in the future. A young Predator, cast out from his clan, teams up with Thia on a dangerous quest to find the ultimate enemy.

Elle Fanning plays both Thia, a legless Weyland-Yutani synth who partners with Dek, and Tessa, another synth who opposes them. Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi plays Dek, the young Predator outcast.

The movie is set to hit U.S. theaters on November 7, through 20th Century Studios, and will be available in RealD 3D and IMAX. Fans can also enjoy a prequel comic, set shortly before the events of the film, written by Ethan Sacks with art by Elvin Ching and a cover by Juan Ferreyra. Marvel Comics will publish it on November 12.

Trachtenberg has shared that he originally planned three new Predator films after the success of Prey. Depending on how well Predator: Badlands does, he may move forward with the third installment.
