Dan Trachtenberg's Predator: Badlands arrives in theaters this Friday, and 20th Century Studios has released a new clip featuring Dek, Thia and a new (potential) alien ally fleeing from a massive carnivorous tree creature, as well as a "Kill or Be Killed" featurette which includes even more action-packed new footage.

Another press screening for Badlands took place earlier tonight, and more reactions have now been shared on social media. These posts are probably more positive than the initial round of reactions overall, and it sounds like Trachtenberg might be 3-for-3 after breathing new life into the franchise with Prey and the animated Predator: Killer of Killers.

The full review embargo lifts tomorrow evening (be sure to look out for our verdict), but for now, check out the latest X reaction posts below along with the clip and featurette.

Predator: Badlands is helmed by returning director Dan Trachtenberg (Prey, 10 Cloverfield Lane) and marks the franchise’s highly anticipated return to the big screen with a story that expands and redefines the Predator Universe.

Set in the future on a deadly remote planet, Badlands follows a young Predator outcast (played by newcomer Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi) who finds an unlikely ally in Thia (Emmy and Golden Globe nominee Elle Fanning) as he embarks on a treacherous journey in search of the ultimate adversary.

Produced by John Davis, Dan Trachtenberg, Marc Toberoff, Ben Rosenblatt and Brent O’Connor, Predator: Badlands opens exclusively in movie theaters on November 7 in IMAX, Dolby Cinema, RealD (3D), Cinemark XD, 4DX, ScreenX and premium screens everywhere.

I'm debating if i wanna see this in theaters or just wait for streaming. I enjoyed PREY quite a bit.

Weyland-Yutani synth. I didn't know that was official. Opens the door for quite the crossover, so that's really cool. Noah Hawley's ALIENS and Trachtenberg's PREDATOR could make for a spectacular VS film or series.

If the predator kills a really humongous heinous monster, will the robot girl give him an incredibly satisfying robot reward reach around handy?

@DocSpock - considering it's missing its lower half of the body, a reach around is only one of two things it could do. We don't know if it has saliva or is just dry, so the R.A. may have to just do.

The world is lucky it has us to think through important situations like this.

I believe it's good, but some of the reactions are too little over the top usually. Imagine advanced press screening saying it's the worst lmao.

The reactions are so far going as I thought they were going so I feel optimistic about the film's success.

I wanna rewatch the previous films first though.

Any reviewer saying it's "the best Predator yet" has got to be on crack...

@DirkLargepeck - nothing like cracking a review. I'm sure by Friday night the reviews will pretty much be all over the place and a realistic meter on how it goes will show itself.

I can’t wait to see this. I love both the Alien and Predator franchises and so far I’m impressed with how Disney is handling both IPs. Prey, Hunters, Romulus and Earth have been terrific so I expect this one to be just as good.

Probably be enjoyable; but I have no interest in a Predator that isn’t a proper villain.

elgaz - 11/4/2025, 4:43 AM
@IAmAHoot - I think there are plenty of other ways a Predator movie can go without the Predator being an out and out villain. They are not inherently evil so to speak, no more so than a lion hunting a deer - they behave as their culture demands and I think that's always what's made them interesting as a character. Whilst they slot into the villain role in a film where they're pitched against a human lead character, they are elevated above the usual 'evil monster' status by virtue of their societal codes, belief in honorable hunts, respecting their adversaries and so on.

IAmAHoot - 11/4/2025, 6:56 AM
@elgaz - Yet none of that alters my point whatsoever…

LordCanterbury - 11/4/2025, 7:58 AM
@IAmAHoot - have Predators ever been “proper villains”?

They’re simply doing what they do within their culture. They trophy hunt. Is a human being a “proper villain” for killing a 10 point buck and mounting the head as trophy?
IAmAHoot
IAmAHoot - 11/4/2025, 1:15 PM
@LordCanterbury - If you'd rather me use the word "antagonist" so you grasp a concept better... well here you go. I do not care to see the Yautja Predators as good guys anymore than I want to see Xenomorph Aliens as friends; which doesn't mean they can't be incidentally be greatly entertaining at dishing out much deserved karma to the bad humans. The movies where the humans (or synthetics in this case) work with the Predators have not been as good as the ones where they are strictly enemies to one another.

Excited for this. My last trip to a movie theater was July with F4, lolz!

@vectorsigma - I believe mine was Weapons. Literally days before it was released on digital.
I'm very much looking forward to this too. May not be able to see it until next week. But, I'm gonna try to stay away from reviews and spoilers.
vectorsigma
vectorsigma - 11/4/2025, 11:17 AM
@lazlodaytona - i havent seen anything worth going to the theater after f4. I was supposed to see Tron but i relied on reviews for that so I skipped it.

As for this, Trachtenberg has really done wonders on this franchise so im not going to miss this.
vectorsigma
vectorsigma - 11/4/2025, 11:19 AM
@lazlodaytona - also, stay away from this site until then with their usual spoiler titles!

@vectorsigma - most definitely!

"pleasantly charming" ?

Doesn't sound like a predator movie
LordCanterbury
LordCanterbury - 11/4/2025, 8:07 AM
@HelloBoysImBack - of course you ignored the reviews calling it “vicious & violent” etc. Try actually watching it before deciding it’s bad.
lazlodaytona
lazlodaytona - 11/4/2025, 9:04 AM
@HelloBoysImBack - what do you expect when a Predator stops in the woods to read a poem before a battle for inspiration in its predatorian language as a yellow tear rolls down its jagedy face?
HelloBoysImBack
HelloBoysImBack - 11/4/2025, 9:46 AM
@LordCanterbury - of course you ignored the fact I never said it was bad....given it's not out yet

elgaz - 11/4/2025, 4:39 AM
Looking forward to this. For many years I've wanted to see the Predator franchise explore the whole Yautja lore, where they're from, what their society is like, etc. Some previous movies touched on it but it feels like Trachtenberg is really consciously moving in that direction and I never thought we'd get a film where the Predator is the central character, rather than a human (or group of humans) as protagonist(s).
LordCanterbury
LordCanterbury - 11/4/2025, 8:09 AM
@elgaz - agree. I really don’t understand why people just want to see the same thing over & over. I have the original Predator, a perfect movie, on my shelf. I don’t need anymore pale imitations & retreads. This looks interesting.

Sweet , glad to see more positive reactions to the film so hopefully that continues…

This is more of an adventure film then the others have been which I’m fine with since it allows the franchise to expand its horizons rather then be boxed in as just one thing.

Anyway , looking forward to checking out the film soon!!.

I love the explanation of the Predator lore!
Next I wanna see Predator babies, Predator adventurers, Predator governments, Predator football, Predator tax attorneys, Predator pornos, a Predator wedding, Predator cock-fighting, Predator figure skating, Predator comedians, a Predator reality show, Predator drug-addicts, Predator salespeople, Predator All-Valley Tournaments, Predator cults, Predator zombies, Predator church, Predator gambling ... just give me all facets of the Predator lifestyle!
